Farmer insights needed into fuel and fertiliser supply disruptions

B+LNZ is proactively providing on-the-ground information to the Government about the supply disruptions for critical on-farm inputs, particularly fuel and fertiliser, arising from the Iran conflict. We are seeking farmer input to help inform our discussions with key Government agencies. Complete the survey.

Growing Future Farmers information evenings – online and in-person

Do you have any young aspiring farmers in your household or class or know of anyone willing to be a farmer trainer? Growing Future Farmers is holding a series of in-person programme information meetings in various North Island locations throughout May, as well as an on-line seminar for those unable to attend in person. These are aimed at students, parents and farmers and cover the Growing Future Farmers programme structure, expectations and opportunities.
