2024/25 Dairy Statistics: NZ dairy farmers boost production with fewer cows
According to the New Zealand Dairy Statistics 2024/25 report, New Zealand dairy farmers are achieving more with fewer cows.
Ironically, the reason for the cancellation was a heavy rain warning that Metservice issued for Takaka, Golden Bay.
Farmers took to Twitter to thank DairyNZ for "organising" the rain, prompting one rain-starved Southland farmer to urge DairyNZ to organise a drought meeting for hisarea.
While the West Coast was also forecast to have heavy rain, many other regions - north and south - could also do with some 'rain-making' by DairyNZ.
