Gearing up for horse heaven By Claire Robson
Mystery Creek is gearing up for the annual Equidays event, next month’s ‘must see’ fixture on any horse-lover’s calendar. Last year, more than 22,000 visitors flocked to Equidays and it’s hoped that the October 2018 event will be even bigger. This year, Equidays is getting back to its education roots, said event manager Ammie Hardie, which has meant reducing some of the competitions on the schedule. “The event is about education and inspiration”, Ammie said, adding that the move will mean attendees will leave their horses at home and put their focus on learning from the world experts on offer. This year, Equidays will feature the Kaimanawa Heritage Horse Challenge, which is run every second year. Alternating with the Mounted Games, the Kaimanawa challenge takes horses that are just 100 days out of the wild and puts them through their paces. “They compete in a series of different equine disciplines,” Ammie explained, adding that she believes the event has had a role to play in changing the public’s perception of our wild horses. As a result of this and work done by Kaimanawa Heritage Horses
(or KHH) and Equidays’ ambassadors the Wilson Sisters, hardly any of the horses rounded up on the Central Plateau go to slaughter, a contrast to other countries overseas, Ammie said. Bolstering the education focus of Equidays this year, the Youth Camp will also be structured differently to previous years following feedback. There will be 35 people under 18 taking part, each having selected either jumping or the cowboy challenge as their area of interest. “We are trying to send them away with more learnings in their actual choice,” Ammie said, “rather than giving them a bit of everything” as has been the case in previous years. There will also be more shopping and family entertainment available this year, with the education catering to the ‘hardcore’ horse person while the rest of the family can still have a good time, Ammie said. With ‘old school’ games such as bobbing for apples, tossing horse shoes and sack races, Australian entertainers The Crack Up Sisters will also be on hand to entertain families at Equidays. They will be hosting the event’s night shows, with their signature brand of humour giving them a party atmosphere, Ammie said. Plus, they
will be doing whip cracking classes and performing stage shows for the kids over the course of the three-day event.
With 210 exhibitors and 17 international and national clinicians on site, there’s sure to be something for everyone at Equidays, which runs from
October 12 – 14 at Mystery Creek. Visit www.equidays.co.nz to find out more or to buy tickets.
The three-day Equidays will include the ever-popular night shows, with a wealth of talent on display.
There was plenty of action at last year’s Equidays at Mystery Creek.

Focus on farming
Around 76 attendees headed to the Owl Farm Focus Day at St Peter’s School recently, with demonstration manager Louise Cook providing this report: Cold and wet weather have meant 30 per cent less pasture grown so far this season, but despite this the farm is ahead in milk production with even less imported feed used. “Careful planning is the key” said farm manager Tom Buckley. “The autumn feed budget and planning ensured we had high quality homemade silage available for this spring and we needed it.” Tom also said: “Winter planning with the whole team saw a different approach in wet and dry weather. Dry days were less grass and loads of supplement, where wet days were more grass area and less supplement to avoid making mud in paddocks.” The body condition score (BCS) of individual cows and the benefits of doing this monthly was discussed, with the farm seeing a considerable positive shift in the average and range of how fat all cows were at calving. Having scored the herd individually since March, cows were dried off early in line with condition score targets and days until calving. This ensured the farm maximised autumn milk production but most importantly got all cows to target by calving. With a 0.3BCS lift of the whole herd at the start of
calving, Owl Farm knows there is going to be more milk in the vat plus an improved reproductive performance in the coming year. Lastly the farm discussed mating plans – and the plan to only use artificial breeding for the 2018 mating season with no bulls joining the herd. This step will reduce the biosecurity and safety risk around bringing bulls onto the farm, but more importantly it offers the opportunity to use Short gestation (SGL) semen for the last half of mating. This product causes a full-term pregnancy to last only 37-38 weeks, not the normal 40 weeks meaning cows in calf with SGL will calve 2 weeks earlier than normal, accelerating our calving spreads. The key risks were – first, around ensuring consistent heat detection methods were used, all staff trained in how to use the methods. The second risk was in human fatigue – it’s a bust time of year and the whole team needed to take turns on heat detection to make sure staff didn’t become too tired. “It’s a critical time of year for clear decision making about crops, pasture management, silage harvesting and weed control as well as AB plus maintaining vigilance in health and safety – tired people and judgement errors isn’t an outcome we will accept on Owl Farm’s demonstration manager Louise Cook. File pic the farm” said Tom.

First loss for dairy giant Dairy co-operative Fonterra has posted its first ever loss, reporting a net loss of $196 million for the year to July. This was in sharp contrast to last year’s profit of $745 million, with earnings before interest and tax dipping 22 per cent to $902 million. The co-operative was ordered to pay $232 million to Danone to compensate the French company for recall costs of its baby powder after a 2013 precautionary recall of Fonterra’s WPC80 ingredient. The recall was based on technical information from a third party that later turned out to be incorrect, prompting Fonterra to make improvements to its incident management processes. Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell said that in addition to this and the $439 million write down on Fonterra’s Beingmate investment, there were four main reasons for the dairy giant’s poor earnings performance. “First, forecasting is never easy but ours proved to be too optimistic. Second, butter prices didn’t come down as we anticipated, which impacted our sales volumes and margins. Third, the increase in the forecast Farmgate Milk Price late in the season, while good for farmers, put pressure on our margins. And fourth, operating expenses were up in some parts of the business and, while this was planned, it was also based on delivering higher earnings than we achieved. “Even allowing for the payment to Danone and the write down on Beingmate, which collectively account for 3.2 per cent of the increase in the gearing ratio, our performance is still down on last year.” Miles said when looking at the underlying performance of the business, which you can see in the normalised EBIT of $902 million, progress has been made in moving more milk into higher value products. “While sales volumes were down three per cent in the 2018 financial year, a larger proportion of milk was sold through Consumer and Foodservice and Advanced Ingredients. In fact, 45 per cent of our sales volumes were through these businesses and this is up from 42 per cent in the 2017 financial year, despite the higher input-price environment. “Our Consumer and Foodservice business grew in all
regions, except Oceania, with our strongest growth in Greater China. Of particular note, our Consumer business in China broke even this year, two years ahead of schedule. A big contributor to this success is the popularity of Anchor, which is now the number one brand of imported UHT milk in both online and offline sales in China. “Despite this progress, performance across the Cooperative was below our expectations. Based on this, the Board has decided to limit our dividend to just the 10 cents paid in April and has confirmed the final Farmgate Milk Price for the 2017/18 season at $6.69 per kgMS,” Miles added. “There’s no two ways about it, these results don’t meet the standards we need to live up to. In the 2018 financial year, we did not meet the promises we made to farmers and unitholders,” he said.
Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell said the dairy giant’s performance must improve.

Giving pests the flick
By Stu Kneebone, Waikato Regional Councillor, Waipa/King Country It was great to see Predator Free Cambridge kick off their rat control operation around Lake Te Kō Utu a few weekends ago with the establishment of 45 rat traps strategically placed around the lake. Volunteer groups like this one are growing all over the region, and are a vital part of New Zealand’s journey towards Predator Free 2050 – the goal to rid NZ of the most damaging introduced predators Stu Kneebone that threaten our nation’s natural taonga, Councillor Waipa/King as well as our natural resource-based Country economy and our tourism sector. Ensuring that the Waikato does its bit to achieve the Predator Free 2050 is a key objective of Waikato Regional Council’s (WRC) strategic direction. WRC directly undertakes possum control over approximately 375,000 ha across the Waikato, with a regional spend of over $2.5million. This is within areas we designate as Priority Possum Control Areas (PPCA). These are sites that have been identified as having high biodiversity, catchment and/or production values. The control methods used include a range of toxins and trapping, with the decision on methodology influenced by different factors such as ground contour, possum habitat, accessibility, cost and landowner preferences. Feral goats also do their fair share of damage in some parts of the region. They are primarily a landowner responsibility, however in some situations where the Department of Conservation (DOC) is doing goat control in an area with particularly high biodiversity values, then WRC has undertaken goat control on the surrounding private land to manage the reinfestation risk. WRC also operates the Small-Scale Community Initiatives Fund (SSCIF) that can provide funding for both individuals and community groups that are undertaking ecological restoration projects and doing animal and plant pest control. The SSCIF can provide up to $5,000 per year, and there is a total of $150,000 available in any one year. This is funded from the uniform annual charge (UAGC) rate. Information is available on the WRC website for this fund and others, and WRC staff are alwyas happy to help with information and advice before an application is made. Alterately, if you want to do your own thing, WRC is always keen to help out with infomation and advice.

Getting together on Post-winter cultivation critical water management
Nine councils, including Waikato Regional Council, have agreed to progress a strategic business case to identify best practice in all water activities across the district. At a recent Waikato Mayoral Forum, the mayors of MatamataPiako, Waipā, South Waikato, Waitomo, Thames-Coromandel, Hauraki, Taupō and Ōtorohanga district councils, and chair of the regional council, Alan Livingston, supported a proposal to take a collaborative approach to manage water and storm water assets. The aim is to develop a business case to establish a centre of excellence to support the councils in improving the management of water assets. This jointly funded project would build on the successes of RATA (the Road Asset Technical Accord), set up by 10 Waikato councils three years ago to achieve similar improvements in the roading sector. The new Water Asset Technical Accord (WATA) would aim to establish best practice in water and waste water and provide the councils with guidance on asset and environmental management, compliance frameworks and investment decision making, with the aim of establishing
activities. The group will be convened by Matamata-Piako District Council chief executive Don McLeod, who said: “We know the government are looking to introduce a much tougher regulatory environment in the water, waste water and storm water space. We want to demonstrate that the Waikato is ready to step up and work collaboratively to not just meet the requirements but deliver best practice.” He said RATA had provided significant benefits to Waikato roading teams in improving strategic asset management processes and systems through collaboration, and a waters collaboration would do the same. Regional council chairman Alan Livingston said while there was much work happening with water within the councils themselves, it was appropriate for the Waikato to demonstrate leadership in this space and understand the opportunities possible through effective collaboration in response to the Government’s direction. “It makes sense for the Waikato to work together, as one voice and to share increased costs of compliance.
“Smaller councils will find the increased compliance costs the hardest, and they can’t afford the best experts or afford to make mistakes. “The financial benefits of collaboration have been proven with the work that has been done in the management of roading, and costs are being further minimised by using the established frameworks of RATA, which already has the knowledge and understanding of this kind of collaboration in the Waikato.”
Waikato Regional Council chair Alan Livingston said it was appropriate for the Waikato to demonstrate leadership in water management.

Umbrellas Retractable Sails Shade Sails Outdoor Blinds
Awnings Customised Covers Interior Blinds
By Bala Tikkisetty, sustainable agriculture advisor at Waikato Regional Council. The future of farming, on which our region’s economic and social wellbeing relies heavily, could be at risk if the quality and extent of our soils are not maintained. Sediment and nutrients from farming operations, along with pathogenic microbes, are some of the most important causes of reduced water quality during the post-winter period, when farmers are cultivating their paddocks. Top-soil erosion, especially in hill country, of bare or cultivated land, leads to the loss of valuable nutrients. It also disrupts infrastructure and increases the costs of maintenance activity, such as cleaning culverts and drains. Landowners and cultivation contractors can help mitigate the environmental risks associated with cultivation, and at the same time protect their soil resources. The greatest risk can be at times like now when the protective plant cover is lost through cultivation of soils for pasture renewal and crop establishment. Soils should be cultivated when the moisture content is neither too high nor too low. To assess if soils are suitable for primary cultivation, take a piece of soil (half the volume of an index finger) and press firmly to form a pencil. Roll the soil into a “worm” on the palm of one hand with the fingers of the other until it is about 50 mm long and 4 mm thick. Exert sufficient pressure with your fingers to reduce the diameter of the worm
The company offers a wide range of shade sails, including custom-made and ready-made for those who prefer a DIY option. Awnings are another speciality of Bruce Edwards Upholstery, providing weatherproof protection for both residential and commercial patios, entrance ways and exposed areas. They can be manual or motorised and feature removable posts, a revel or face fix, reverse handle and a pull stick for hard-to-reach blinds. Shade sails are also a popular outdoor shade solution, including retractablewave shades that are ideal for people with Clearlite or open frame pergolas. “By adding a wave shade you can cut down the heat in these pergolas by about 15 percent,” says Bruce. “And in winter you can simply unclip them and put them away.’
Options include fixed frame and folding arm awnings which can either be operated by a gearbox with a handle, or automated with the press of a button. The company also offers a wide range of Shade 7 umbrellas, including cantilever, market and commercial umbrellas. “The Riviera cantilever is our most popular umbrella,” says Bruce. “Because there is no centre post you can direct the shade wherever you want it without the post getting in the way. It’s also strong and sturdy and can handle winds of up to 60kph.”
to 4 mm in 15 to 20 complete forward and back movements of the fingers. Conditions are suitable for cultivation if the soil cracks before the worm is made. The soil is too wet to cultivate if you can make the worm. Contour cultivation, sowing at right angles to the prevailing wind, sediment retention, reducing run off are recommended for minimising soil loss. The spread of pests, particularly weeds and pathogens, by vehicles, cultivation machinery and equipment has significant consequences and is an ongoing problem. Machinery hygiene must be practiced any time a machine is moved between properties. I would like to remind you again that the Waikato Regional Council has a rule in the Regional Plan, which says farmers must not cultivate paddocks within two metres of a river, stream or lake bed.

Karapiro kids on green mission Supplied by Karapiro School Last Tuesday, 25 Year 3 students from Karapiro School headed along to Nick and Michelle Rolley’s farm on Luck At Last Rd on a very special mission. The students were there to help with the riparian planting of 317 trees that students of the country school have grown in their Trees for Survival nursery. Trees for Survival links to the Beef and Lamb New Zealand Environment Strategy 201822 which promotes cleaner water, carbon neutrality, thriving biodiversity and healthy and productive soils. The project is sponsored by
Winstone Aggregates and the participating farm. Karapiro School also linked the project with their Enviroschools work and were supported on the day by local facilitator Alex Daniel. Parent Helen Lea was also involved, managing the nursery and working closely with school staff and students throughout the project. Principal Tina-Maree Thatcher said the students enjoyed the learning opportunity to follow the trees through the process of seedlings to their new home on the farm and this was third year of planting at the Rolleys’ farm. “Karapiro School enjoys a strong connection to its rural roots and we are grateful to our
Lachlan Findlay and Jack Hay helping out with the riparian planting beside the stream.
supporters for making this learning experience happen,” she said. “Our students were able to work with 14 different species of plants and to learn about what plants and trees need over
their life cycle to survive. A key aspect of this learning is respect for the natural environment and participation is building a sustainable community.”
