Chief executive Campbell Parker and deputy chair Cam Henderson will be at the DairyNZ stand, along with DairyNZ's regional team.
DairyNZ lower South Island regional manager Jared Stokman says it's a great opportunity for farmers to catch up with DairyNZ staff and chat about priorities in the region.
"We've attended several Southern Field Days, and the event is a great opportunity to engage with farmers at a farm-focused event and have more constructive conversations with those in the industry. The format of the event allows us to have more in-depth and detailed discussions with farmers about issues they think we should focus on," he says.
"We will be showcasing some of our farmer tools and resources, which have been developed with DairyNZ's research and farm systems expertise, to support success on farm.
"Campbell and Cam can also answer any queires around how the levy is invested and the upcoming Milksolids Levy."
The Milksolids Levy is the primary source of funding for DairyNZ's work. This vote is an opportunity to reflect on the value delivered through levy-funded initiatives and to reaffirm support for ongoing investment. Voting will open on 16 February and run through until 13 March.
