New Horizons program is a Whole Farm Nutrient Mapping (WFNM) initiative that supports evidence- based fertiliser decision-making in high-rainfall pasture systems. This program is the latest evolution of DPRID’s WFNM efforts, building on over 15 years of experience. Expanding the approach across the entire >550 mm annual rainfall zone.
The 2025–26 Fertiliser Management Program by Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development is now open for Expressions of Interest! If you’ve ever wanted better pasture, smarter fertiliser use, and a healthier catchment, this is your chance. Join https://www.facebook.com/WholeFarmNutrientMapping
