Summer 2024

In our Summer cover story, editor Sheryl Haitana goes onfarm in the Bay of Plenty to investigate the Kikuyu spread and talks to a farming couple who have embraced the sub tropical grass, and how switching to once-a-day milking has improved their herd’s reproduction performance dramatically.

Our special report on financial literacy is a guide to improving financial knowledge and skills and how to make your money work for you. We also shine a spotlight on insurance, asking why premiums have surged and what future insurance coverage could look like. This is a must keep magazine to keep on the shelf in the office for when you do future budgets and annual insurance reviews! 

We take a dive into drench resistance in the dairy industry and what farmers can do to minimise the risk of your future replacements. Our deputy Anne Lee follows up her special report on Genetic Modification with updates on how gene-editing is being used in cows. 

PLUS the magazine is packed with the latest research on animal health, crops, irrigation tips, how carbon removal is being valued from plantings on farms, how to write a simple farm environment plan, and even a section dedicated to your health and wellbeing, and more!

Happy reading!
