Clover Growth and Pasture Potential in Our District
The district shows strong clover growth and lush pastures boosting dairy cattle fodder. Noted are white red and subterranean clovers with rye and Paspalum across Avon and near coast lands, aided by rains and local management. Concerns include occasional bloat and stock losses from feast or famine, and access to lime and artificial fertilizer remains limited. A proposal suggests examining local limestone deposits to supply lime, with potential funding by landholders or a dairy company.
