Access DairyBase questionnaires and other helpful resources.

The collaborative Waimea catchment project is driving successful outcomes for meeting future nitrogen limits and staying profitable.

DairyBase provides a range of benchmarks for dairy farmers based on ownership, location, and production system, such as organic or winter milk farms.

A collaborative project is underway between farmers, DairyNZ and other stakeholders in South Canterbury, to analyse and support implementation of solutions that further decrease nitrogen in water and help ensure farmers can meet plan change rules.

When you register to use DairyBase you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

The interview process is a chance to showcase your strengths and suitability for the role! Being well prepared for the different types of interviews can help ease your nerves and lets you put your best foot forward.

A new multi-year programme of work, led by AgResearch and jointly delivered by DairyNZ, is working with farmers to understand and reduce E. coli losses into waterways.

Read more about how farmers and catchment groups can now use state-of-the-art monitoring that detects fish, insects, microbes, aquatic plants, terrestrial plants, and even birds from their genetic material being present in stream water.

Fish need to move up and down waterways to feed, breed, and migrate between the sea and freshwater to complete their life cycle. Anything that stops fish movements is called a ‘fish passage barrier’.

This long-running AgResearch-led project, supported by DairyNZ, demonstrated that adopting good farming practices on dairy farms to reduce contaminant loss into waterways improved water quality.

Selecting the right cultivar for your farm remains just as important as ever. Use this page to make informed decisions when choosing ryegrass cultivars for pasture renovation.

DairyNZ’s subsidiary NZAEL (New Zealand Animal Evaluation Limited) has recently made a new fertility trait update – in this episode we’ll discuss what this change will mean and how it will benefit farmers.

Budgeting provides clarity and control over your finances, helping you make confident decisions and achieve your business goals.

A cash management system, or cashbook, is vital for monitoring all payments and receipts, keeping track of compliance requirements, and managing day-to-day finances effectively.

Catchment groups are a great opportunity for you and your local community to work together to enhance and improve the biodiversity, water quality, and community value of your catchment and downstream environment. DairyNZ can help you with your goals.

Freshwater Farm Plans are a new tool for freshwater regulation. These require a farm plan tailored to mitigate risks to land and water on farm. Many farmers already have a farm environment plan or are part of an industry programme.

Many farmers are looking for ways to get better value from their pasture, get through NIWA’s predicted El Niño summer, and control on-farm costs. Could deferred grazing provide a solution for some farmers?
