Arable Photo Competition! (2022-23)

Ruby baird

All entries must be received by 5pm on Sunday 30 April 2023.

We all know that arable farms, crops and families are exciting, interesting and important. Now is your chance to help convince the rest of New Zealand. We’re looking for some ‘real’, ‘farm based’ photos we can use to promote all the good stuff we grow and do, and we think that you are the best people to take them. We want to show the diversity of the crops we grow, for the promotion of the general arable industry. It is not meant to be a competition which addresses any technical aspects of your growing programme, or harvest techniques.

We have 6 award sections for you to enter (some may fit into more than one!):

  • The Arable Landscape (not machinery)
  • The Growing Crop
  • Your Way Of Showcasing NZ Arable (Providing products for NZ, supplying to bakeries etc.)
  • Birds Eye View (drone images)
  • Arable People
  • Technology in Action
> The winner of each section will receive a $200 Prezzy Card
> The Supreme winner will take home a Weber Baby Q 1000!

H85 Plantain seed crop responses to spring nitrogen in Canterbury

Plantain has become an increasingly important component of pasture seed mixes, driven in part by heightened environmental concerns regarding nitrate leaching from grazed pastoral systems. Nitrogen (N) fertiliser management is widely regarded as the principal agronomic lever for increasing plantain seed yield, especially in environments with low inherent soil fertility. This project aims to improve the agronomy of plantain seed production by identifying optimal biological and economic N application rates.

H84 Yield responses to fungicides in perennial ryegrass seed crops

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the main ryegrass species grown for seed in New Zealand, supporting both pasture and turf markets. Canterbury leads production, with around 12,000 ha sown annually. This study pulls together results from ten Canterbury field trials to assess how different fungicide programmes and timings affect seed yield. It compares early versus late applications and offers practical advice to help growers improve rust control and maximise returns.

Seeking grower input

Want to have more of a say in how FAR operates in Canterbury? We’re looking for growers to join the Mid-Canterbury (MC) and Northern South Island (NSI) Arable Research Groups (ARGs). ARGs work with FAR to guide research and extension delivery within their region. Each of FAR’s seven ARGs includes up to 11 growers and up to five appointed members (usually from industry). They meet three or four times a year to share regional ideas and information and discuss research and extension projects.
