A good read

"We're all getting on the bus and going in the same direction, but Wellington has sent seven buses to pick you up seven times." Why catchment groups are a better answer

Do you want any mapping or aerial imagery done get in touch

Are you needing a farm map? AgVice can help you out. We provide customised, high quality farm maps. Our product services range from using high resolution aerial drone imagery to up-to-date satellite imagery – we tailor our service to fit your individual farm needs.

Various sizes available, black and white or colour. We also offer map whiteboards for the office, staffroom or dairy shed.

All maps are completely customisable and highly accurate when we use drone technology, if this does not suit your needs then we can use satellite or LINZ imagery.

Hectares or acres, block and paddock names, waterlines, troughs, effluent and irrigation zones, slope data as well as health and safety – anything you need we can provide. Our maps are also a great base for your Farm Environment Plan (FEP). Use them to identify areas on your farm that relate to your FEP (we can help with this also).

Get in touch to find out more. Located in central Waikato but servicing the surrounding regions and beyond.

This is really important to get right - have a look at the map for your address and see how well it matches your actual terrain

Did the new Stock Exclusion Regs get it wrong for your farm?

If all or part of your farm has been incorrectly mapped as low slope you can let the Ministry for the Environment know by using this tool: https://www.mfe.govt.nz/fresh-water/freshwater-acts-and-regulations/stock-exclusion-regulations?fbclid=IwAR3vvX_-QcBHkxEora4I6GEmMSesHa3_YKdOtJhvdNvUx1vF6yqAd1mC8fY %20low%20slope

You can also provide feedback on why you think it's wrong
** There is also an option to say that you don’t think the low slope regulations shouldn't apply to your low slope property because it is extensively stocked!**

Have to give a big shout out to the team at www.rve.co.nz. These guys have developed a wee pod that sits around the drivers seat and makes the driver "separate" from the rest of the people in the car. For us this means two -three of us can travel on one vehicle rather than take two which is great.

I thought it was really cost competitive and the service was great - check them out on the web and the pics below are of the pod installed in my ute. Will give it a try today.

Another goodie

Our Environment section covers information about climate change, effluent, land, water and nutrient management on dairy farms.

Some more great helpful info that is applicable on most farms.

Here's the advert running in the Rural Life this week. Put together with Otago South River Care and sponsored by Otago Regional Council.

Time to start planning for winter grazing!
