B+LNZ FarmSmart Conference 2018 Presentations

This year's theme at the 2018 B+LNZ FarmSmart Conference was 'Future Proofing Our Farms' and amongst the speakers are farmers who have done just that. They share their experiences and challenge you to think about ways you can ensure your farm business will remain productive and profitable in the years ahead.

This year's panel discussion considered what hill country farms will look like in 2040. There was a great line-up of speakers including entrepreneur and business leader Melissa Clarke-Reynolds, ecologist Guy Salmon and Bank's Peninsula farmer Chris Chamberlain.
