Get ahead of the new feedpad environmental laws with SHEDS4U
Environment Waikato is pressurising farmers to increase the size of their effluent ponds because of runoff from feedpads. Other regions will soon follow suit, and a solution that will help you stay compliant and also add value to your farm is a SHEDS4U permanent feedpad roof.
Feedpads are a vital feature of intensive farming, especially in wetter months. But, without proper protection, they can create a lot of runoff which creates the need for larger effluent ponds – an expensive outlay. Installing a permanent feedpad roof keeps expensive feed dry and hugely reduces runoff, making it easier to manage effluent and protect waterways.
With the tighter environmental regulations, adding a permanent roof to your feedpad helps you comply with new rules without having to invest heavily in upgrading your effluent ponds. It’s a smart move to ensure you’re on the right side of the law.
Because it’s a permanent structure, a feedpad roof also adds real value to your farm. Unlike temporary shelters, these roofs are seen as proper long-term assets, boosting your farm’s market value and making it more appealing to potential buyers.
What’s more, a feedpad roof will protect your animals, improve farm efficiency and create a space your staff will be happier to work in..
All in all, a permanent feedpad roof is a smart way to tackle runoff issues, stay compliant, and increase your farm’s value.
