OPINION: National Fieldays next week will be an opportunity to see what a career in agriculture has to offer. 

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.

Farmers are backing Fonterra’s review of assets and overseas joint ventures as it grapples with strengthening its balance sheet.

John Deere will use Fieldays to show the latest 5R series tractors — four units in the all-important 90-125hp sector.

An ‘unbeatable’ offer will point up Claas Harvest Centre’s Fieldays promotion.

Of the food intake ruminants use for maintenance, milk production, rearing a calf and/or to produce meat, as much as 85% can end up as waste. Waste that can be used as fertiliser.

Farm machinery maker Claas is celebrating having made 150,000 tractors since it bought the Renault brand in 2003.

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.

Xero’s head of agribusiness and practice strategy, Cam Anderson explains how technology can unlock the full productive potential of our farms.

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.
