This week’s notices:
More GFF trainers needed
B+LNZ is calling on sheep and beef farmers to become trainers for the Growing Future Farmers (GFF) programme, following a surge in student applications for 2026. With over 150 young people eager to enter agriculture, more training placements are urgently needed – especially in Canterbury, King Country, and Otago. Interested farmers can learn more on the GFF website. B+LNZ is a proud sponsor of the GFF programme.
Wairarapa Livestock Parasite Management Group Field Day
B+LNZ is hosting a farmer-led field day titled ‘It’s drench resistance, not a death sentence’ in the Wairarapa on Tuesday 2 September, from 11am–4pm, focused on internal parasite control. Hear what the pilot group of the Livestock Parasite Management focus group learnt through three years of farm-based research, gain practical insights from farmers managing worms, and discover new approaches like DAGI. Held at Matariki Terraces by George Tatham and Martin Reisima with speakers from B+LNZ, Wormwise, and vets Sara Sutherland and Ryan Luckman. Register here.
