Join DairyNZ, Pioneer, Beef + Lamb New Zealand and local farmer Grant Webb for an on-farm discussion on how crops can support farm resilience, improve feed utilisation, and create flexibility across dairy and beef operations.
With crops established and the season underway, we'll use what's happening on Grant's farm to explore practical strategies and real-world decision-making.
Topics covered
- Crop choice and fit: how different crops and varieties can complement pasture and integrate with the wider farm system.
- Making decisions as conditions change: we’ll discuss the key trigger points that help inform decisions throughout the season, including when to stay the course and when to adapt your plan.
- Managing weather risk: explore the levers available when growing conditions don’t go to plan.
- Connecting dairy and beef systems: see how Grant uses both his dairy and beef businesses to maximise the value of home-grown feed and create opportunities across his farming operation.
