How does Fertcare benefit growers?
The end users of the services provided by the fertiliser industry need to have a
full understanding of Fertcare Accreditation and how they can benefit from them.
The major benefits to growers or producers from the Fertcare program include an improved
service, better value per dollar (accurate spreading), an ability to satisfy any
quality-assurance requirements that the end user may have, and a way of managing
such environmental issues as nutrient runoff and offsite impacts. These last points
are becoming more important as the producer or supplier is increasingly being asked
by consumers, processors, and supermarkets for quality-assurance certification covering
the whole chain of production; and environmental issues, such as nutrient runoff,
are under the spotlight.
Farmers wanting an improved service from the fertiliser industry
should be on the lookout for Fertcare accredited machines, contractors, transport
operators, and members.
