A slump in farmer confidence has seen Federated Farmers' new-season 2015 Farm Confidence Survey move further into negative territory.

DAIRY PRICES are stabilising, but climbing off the market floor may take some time, says Rabobank.

NEW ZEALAND’S farming future is not just black and white or – at least – just black and white dairy cows.

ALL THE SIGNS suggest a prolonged period of low international dairy prices will be required to soak up the current global market surplus, says Rabobank in its latest Dairy Quarterly report.
