Business Rural Spring 2024

| 63 JJJ Farms did require some new concrete work. “I thought while we’re doing all this concrete work, we should put in a vet race.” RURAL SERVICES » JJJ Farms Ltd We can now do about 30 cows at a time, and if they need a calcium bolus we can just run down and give it to them.” Another upgrade was made to the effluent system with two 30,000L tanks installed to capture and reuse the cooling water which was previously being lost from the vat into the effluent ponds. This upgrade has made a huge difference to JJJ Farms’ effluent ponds which are now holding less water and working how they should be. “We’re trying to get everything up and running properly,” Gavin says. “At the moment we’re working through our fresh water plan and it’s a bit scary. New rules and regulations are making compliant dairy farming harder to achieve, but we keep trying to do things better while we still can.” WE DO ANYTHING ELECTRICAL Domestic or Commercial, ( New Builds or Renovations ) Installation,Servicing & Repair of Heat Pumps.
