This week’s notices: 

Calling on farmers to complete survey to find the real cost of FE

Whether your farm has been affected by facial eczema (FE) or not, we want to hear from you. B+LNZ is looking for farmers from all livestock sectors to help uncover the true cost of FE on NZ farms. The survey will take about 15 minutes of your time and all those who participate go into a draw to win a $250 Greenlea Meats voucher. Each response improves our understanding of FE’s financial impact on farms and across regions, ensuring future solutions are cost-effective and viable for you. Take the survey today and be part of the solution.

Applications close soon for B+LNZ Generation Next Programme

Farmers interested in applying for the B+LNZ Generation Next Programme should do so before applications close on Friday 28 November – apply now. The programme is aimed at farmers wanting to take the next step in their farming careers by developing their business and leadership skills.
