Checkout our BEAM Calculator

ICBF launched a new online tool for our HerdPlus  members at the end of 2020. The BEAM calculator is designed to allow BEAM applicants to project forward their overall organic nitrogen produced from 01 July 2020 – 30 June 2021 (period 1) or 01 Jan 2021 - 31 Dec 2021 (period 2). Users can enter the  stock numbers which they intend to have on farm from now until the 30 June 2021 or 31 Dec 2021. The BEAM calculator can then indicate whether you are meeting the required 5% BEAM scheme organic nitrogen reduction or not.
