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.

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?

The BCS competency assessment determines your ability to accurately and consistently body condition score.Assessment is required for those who have not passed an assessment before or for those whose certification lapsed more than 2 years ago.

BCS training is open to all but is recommended prior to assessment. It will guide you through theory and practical hands-on learning.

This study looked at the time requirements of dairy farm activities and priorities to better understand how systems, technology and management influence how productive our farm teams are.

Deferred grazing is an alternative pasture management tool used to manage pasture quality, defer spring feed to early summer and increase the number of plants in the paddock through natural re-seeding.

A personal cash budget is for anyone who wants to know where their money is going. It is particularly useful for farmers on a wage or salary.
