Farmer input needed to combat FE
Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) is calling on livestock farmers to take part in a survey measuring the financial impact of facial eczema (FE).
Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) has announced the finalists for its 2023 Beef + Lamb New Zealand Awards.
B+LNZ chief executive Sam McIvor says the judging team had a difficult task given the calibre of the entries in the eight award categories and, after much deliberation, came up with a list of finalists.
“The judges commented about the quality of the entries which reflected the depth of talent, skills and knowledge within our red meat sector,” says McIvor.
He says it has been a challenging year for many in the sector, so it is important to take the time to recognise the people, innovations and technologies within the industry.
He says B+LNZ, along with Awards partner Farmlands and the awards category sponsors, is looking forward to hearing the winners announced at the awards dinner at Christchurch’s Te Pae Convention Centre on 19 October.
“I hope anyone with an interest in the red meat sector, entrants, nominees, and nominators will join the finalists sponsors to celebrate excellence in our industry,” he says.
“This will be one of the industry events of the year – and not to be missed.”
