Was last week’s 3.4% drop in the Global Dairy Trade overall price index a warning sign or a temporary dip? Economists are divided.

This year's Gypsy Day marked the realisation of a dream for former Canterbury sharemilkers Michael and Susie Woodward. They are now proud owners of a 170ha farm at Otorohanga, 45 minutes southwest of Hamilton.

DairyNZ says it is hearing of several cases of nitrate poisoning in the Waikato region, with several cow deaths.

Fonterra says the proposed changes to DIRA announced today will bring some improvements to the sector, but it also represents a missed opportunity to better support New Zealand.

Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor today announced changes to the legislation governing the dairy industry.

Sales of tractors and farm machinery so far in 2019 are steady versus 2018 but challenges loom, says Tractor and Machinery Association (TAMA) president John Tulloch.

Tulloch Farm Machines will display at Fieldays the latest Krone Big X 780 plus maize header, a Big M 450 self-propelled mower conditioner, a Comprima CF 155XC baler and a Swadro TC 640 rotary rake.

Waikato Milking Systems (WMS) will use Fieldays to promote its expansion beyond milking systems into effluent and environmental products.

The new McCormick X5 series contains three models powered by a 3.6L Deutz 4-cylinder engine tuned for max outputs of 99hp (X5.35), 110hp (X5.45) and 113hp (X5.55).

How to breed the herd of the future will be front of mind for dairy farmers attending Fieldays at Mystery Creek.
