This week’s notices:
Final season of Sheep Poo Study – farmers needed nationwide
B+LNZ is calling on farmers from all regions to take part in the final season of the Sheep Poo Study. This research is helping build a clearer picture of how facial eczema (FE) affects farms across NZ and your farm could help complete the puzzle. Read our full media release and register for the next season here.
TB review – have your say
There is still time for farmers to have their say about the TB Plan review. There are in-person meetings taking place across the country, so come along to find out more about what is being proposed or visit the B+LNZ website to watch our webinar. Farmers fund the TBfree programme through levies, and their input in this consultation is vital. The consultation runs through September and October. Find out more and make a submission here.
Applications open for 2026 Kellogg programme
Applications are now open for the 2026 Kellogg Programme One – an 18-day, in-person course spread over six months to fit around work and family. B+LNZ’s Rural Leadership Advancement Scholarship supports six farmers to complete a NZ Rural Leaders course, including Kellogg.
