Rod McKinnon knows a thing or two about running a busy farming operation. At his Hinuera property, the family milks 420 cows across 195 hectares, while also managing a beef unit and growing their own maize. Back in 2018, the McKinnons decided to take their effluent management up a notch with the construction of a new feed pad and effluent pond. That’s when Reid & Harrison Services stepped in.
With a complete effluent system upgrade, including the powerful Yardmaster Super Smart setup. The farm has not only modernised its infrastructure but also expanded its effluent reach across previously untouched parts of the property.
Now, with the ability to spread effluent up to 80 metres of head and across the road to the main farm block, Rod and his team have transformed their nutrient management capabilities, sustainably, efficiently, and with room to grow.
