Getting your name on the gate is a dream for many young farmers, and Tiraumea couple Simon and Katie Falloon have achieved it through an innovative equity partnership model.
Not only that, but they recently took out the Keinzley Agvet Wairarapa Sheep & Beef Farm Business of the Year. In our cover story, we attended their field day to find out how they got a foot in the door with land ownership, and why ewe body condition score is a key driver for their high performing flock of exceptionally fertile ewes.
It’s no secret that farm profitability is under immense pressure. Our special report explores opportunities for diversification and land use change, including renewable energy, horticulture, goats and agritourism.
Journalist Tony Leggett shines a spotlight on the red meat sector, and we hear about how George and Emma Masefield’s development programme has transformed their Banks Peninsula operation, enabling them to finish all of their lambs on their dryland hill country.
Also in this issue, we explore the idea of a drench status declaration, AgriZeroNZ head Wayne McNee outlines their plans to give farmers the tools they need to mitigate methane emissions, and Kate Wilson’s inspiring story about living her creative dreams in the US.
All this and much more in the Spring issue of Country-Wide, out now.
