Why Attend?
Please note, this event has moved from May 13 to May 27.
Join us to hear what farm practices others are using to improve pasture persistence, due to the limited resilience of current New Zealand species. Also hear from DairyNZ Senior Scientist Elena Minnee on how the Resilient Pastures Programme is using studies and trials to design more sustainable farm systems.
Host farmers Alastair and Tamzyn Neville will share insights on the trial benefits, what they hope to see in the future, and compares their experience before and after the trial.
The Resilient Pastures programme is a seven-year initiative led by DairyNZ, with MPI through the Primary Sector Growth Fund, including industry partners Beef + Lamb New Zealand and others.
Protect our industry - please arrive with clean boots to prevent the spread of disease, pest or weed.
