Federated Farmers is brushing aside concerns that the Government's intention to allow farmers to use their KiwiSaver funds to buy a first farm could be problematic.

The Landini Rex 4 Series, recently released in New Zealand, is designed with vineyards in mind.

A New Zealand startup is providing growers with vital information for daily operations and long-term vineyard management, using a unique and scalable AI vine scanner that gives a vine-specific view of disease, pruning, land productivity and yields. Forty Cropsy systems have been deployed throughout New Zealand, the United States and France, with more than 20 million vine scans conducted in the past 12 months.

The long-standing DLG test organisation has awarded it’s “approved” quality mark to the Vogelsang 15-m BlackBird trailing shoe applicator.

While ploughing appears to become less fashionable than minimal tillage, it remains an important process in many areas.

One of New Zealand's latest and largest agrivoltaics farm Te Herenga o Te Rā is delivering clean renewable energy while preserving the land's agricultural value for sheep grazing under the modules.

OPINION: Soon New Zealand farmers will be asked to know their greenhouse gas (GHG) number. There are a vast number of GHG calculators available, all giving a different answer and none of them allowing for your pasture to be viewed as a CO2 ‘sequesterer’.
