B+LNZ Wairarapa Farming for Profit Field Day: Potential Games Changers

With commodity price volatility and inflationary cost pressure, even the most robust farming businesses are searching for the next game-changing breakthrough to enhance their physical and financial performance. The status quo just won’t cut it to meet all the challenges.

Nutrition and animal health are two fundamentals of sheep and cattle performance (genetics being the other). These have stood the test of time but must be advanced to achieve the breakthrough we need.

This workshop will investigate 3 of the latest technologies that could potentially be the breakthrough game-changers we are looking for. We will discuss the potential returns and how these can be practically applied to sheep and cattle farming systems.

BBQ and refreshments supplied.
