Inspiring presentation from the Chair of Ngai Tahu, Lisa Tumahai at #PINZ2019 to begin the afternoon session. Well done to the Feds and Conferenz teams to attract such great and highly respected speakers @FedFarmers
First panel discussion at #PINZ2019. A great line up re visions for our sector, featuring Sir Lockwood Smith - former High Commissioner to the UK, Malcolm Bailey- chair DCANZ, Julia Jones - NZX Agri, Chris Nixon - NZIER, and Rebecca Smith - NZ Story. Very impressive @FedFarmers
The first of our international speakers - Ken Ash, Director - Trade and Agriculture at OECD in Paris. Global trade environment is critically important to NZ. Where are we at, and what the future may hold for our export driven nation #PINZ2019@FedFarmers
And we are off. The first Primary Industries Summit and Awards, a collaboration between Federated Farmers and Conferenz. Have a great couple of days #PINZ2019@FedFarmers
A great visit to an island in the Hauraki Gulf successfully farming sheep & beef. Unique landscape with the waters edge as you boundary. Big thanks to Richard & Avril on Ponui Island @FedFarmers
I could not be more disappointed - the SPCA press release offers no alternatives to 1080, because there are none that work. This has been investigated, for decades, and continues to be investigated.
Amazing to hear about the work Vangelis Vitalis does as Deputy Secretary, Trade at MFAT; former Ambassador and NZ Delegate to the UN. Very interesting times looking at the future of WTO and Brexit. Another great speaker at Fed Farmers National Council Meeting today. @FedFarmers
Hereβs a novel idea. How about we store surplus water in winter then release it for increased flows year round. Wonder if anyone has thought of that?? #shouldhavehhadtheruataniwha https://t.co/6G5St3kDbA
The new Bachelor of Horticultural Science which is being offered by @MasseyUni was co-designed in collaboration with industry and is going to be a great way to assist in the rapid growth of in Horticulture in New Zealand

Fonterra's Open Gates 2018 is a smash hit in Auckland! The four farms taking part are sold out; over 5000 tickets have been snapped up. Great chance for Fonterra farmers to showcase their environmental credentials. @Fonterra @FonterraFarmers
