Gerard Finnan (FCG Midwest)

The following tasks are areas of business management that should ideally be done in the next month, if you haven’t already done so.

  • Soil Sample Grassland – This needs to be done before slurry or compound fertiliser is applied or cattle graze grass.
  • For March Year Ends do 10 Months Actual Accounts plus 2 Months Budget to calculate profit for year to March 25 to get an idea of tax liability and overall business performance.
  • Get Fences, Gates and Water checked and ready for livestock turnout.  Be prepared to take advantage when the weather windows arise.
  • Get some Nitrogen Fertiliser applied especially on lighter land which will be warmer and more trafficable.
  • Measure Up Remaining Forage Stocks and Compare vs Requirements. Take action early if there is a deficit.

For farm management reviews and addressing issues, contact Gerard at gerardfinnan@fcgagric.com or your local FCG Office.
