Proposed changes to winter grazing regulations seem to be a sensible step forward, but DairyNZ are working to ensure practical solutions and help deliver rules that work on-farm.
With primary sector feedback, and really looking into the detail, DairyNZ are working to understand how these changes might work in practice, encouraging farmers to establish their crops well, in line with weather and managing environmental risk.
Join us to hear from DairyNZ Head of South Island, Tony Finch as he shares their considerations on the winter grazing regulations and how they are working with farmers to ensure that they are heard.
The B.linc VIBE event series is an opportunity to hear from one of the wider Lincoln precinct companies about their business and to touch base, reconnect and build connections across the precinct.
