Environmental issues will be high on the agenda at FAR's Northern Crop Research Site Field Day at Tamahere on Thursday. Other topics will cover maize yields, the impact of tillage on soils and managing slugs in crops. See full event programme.
FAR has worked closely with Federated Farmers to carry out case studies in the Waikato which include crop farms. These case studies will be used to inform policy and discussion in relation to the Healthy Rivers Plan Change 1. The full Federated Farmers Report with case studies can be read here.
