LIC’s programme at Fieldays will cover genetics, animal health, and herd improvement.
Visitors to the LIC stand at this year’s Fieldays can expect practical farm conversations, specialist drop-in sessions and exclusive shareholder events.
Based at Site E80, LIC’s programme will cover genetics, animal health, and herd improvement, giving farmers the chance to speak directly with specialists and discuss what’s happening in their own system.
MINDA sessions will focus on helping farmers get more value from their data through better integration with on-farm tools and reducing double-handling of information.
As part of the programme, former Kiwi rugby league captain and Waikato farmer Tawera Nikau will host a special session on resilience, leadership and mental wellbeing, drawing on his experiences in elite sport, farming and life after the motorcycle accident that resulted in the loss of his right leg.
Numbers for the event will be limited, with registrations available through the LIC website.
LIC will also be part of the Science for Farmers hub at Site E38, showcasing work underway in areas such as thermal tolerance and how technology is helping accelerate genetic gain.
Farmers visiting the site can bring along their participant code, grab a coffee and something to eat, and make use of the kids’ area while they’re there. Visitors can also have a go at the LIC dartboard for the chance to win merch and credit on their LIC account.
Session timings, including Tawera Nikau’s event, will be available on the LIC website and across LIC social media channels.
