FROM THE ACTING CEO Success is something that should never be taken for granted. Nor is the time and effort that goes into achieving that success. However, we often focus on ‘what still needs to be done’, rather than taking a moment of time to pause and reflect on what has been achieved.

If we take time to reflect on the progress made since the merger then this is significant. At the time of merger, benefits of $38M over the first 3 years of the merger were promised. I am pleased to say that delivery of these benefits is still very much on track and these benefits will deliver sustainable value to our shareholders for many years to come. From delivering lower input costs from better buying, to saving shareholders’ money by having the same processes at each store – what can seem like a small change takes a lot of effort from your Farmlands staff, all of whom are united behind the Vision and Values that underpin the company you helped create. So each time we put a tick alongside the realisation of another post-merger benefit, we celebrate, while thanking shareholders for supporting us in getting here.

Support for service repaid in full Farmlands has been an active supporter of Hawke’s Bay’s Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter for a number of years. This support, along with the support given to a number of rescue helicopters around the country, has been an acknowledgement that Farmlands shareholders could need the service anywhere, at any time. This message came true a few months back – but it was one of Farmlands’ own that ended up needing the service.

Sheep, hobbits and rugby. If you mention “New Zealand” to an outsider, chances are one of the three clichés will make its way into the conversation. But stereotypes are misleading. Sheep numbers have been dwindling for years. Hobbits, invented elsewhere, have now left our shores, leaving behind only their homes and movie sets to quench the pop culture thirst of visiting tourists. Which leaves rugby. It would be foolish to think for a second that everyone in New Zealand lives and breathes rugby. Only a few months ago, cricket tragics finally got their moment in the sun, when the start of the Super Rugby season was drowned out by the World Cup efforts of McCullum and Co. But in New Zealand’s heartland, in the face of smaller numbers, rising costs and competition from other sports, rugby holds firm. Rugby still means something. Not everyone can play on Eden Park. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have big moments on smaller fields. Dairy farmer Phillip Broomfield has become quite the rugby personality over the past few months. And he doesn’t even play anymore.

“Turbo”, it was a regular Saturday, with one slight difference. “The film crew had made a movie in Wanganui in 2012 and they were passing through and saw a big crowd – we had a home game and they stayed behind to film a little bit. They took it back to show their bosses and they got some funding to make a documentary.” The result was The Ground We Won, created by filmmakers Miriam Smith and Christopher Pryor. Phillip says after the team agreed to filming (“everyone said, ‘yeah, sweet as’,”) more than 200 hours of footage was filmed over the course of a year. “A couple of years before the film we really struggled to get a team – then they started filming and we had good numbers,” Phillip says. “It was real awesome to see the final product after all their hard work. Everyone got dressed up. I don’t think Reporoa has ever been that dressed up.” For the premiere, the team, partners and supporters dusted off the suits and dresses and converged on Auckland for a night of celebration. “The screen in Auckland was huge – it was pretty out of it to see everyone up there, it was a bit surreal.” After the glitz and glamour of the premiere, it has been business as usual, apart from the odd interview. Originally lined up to coach his son Jack’s rugby team, a lack of numbers has meant he now helps out with the senior team. The team continues without Phillip leading the chant before the game, as the next generation lace up the boots. “I suppose rugby has always been a big part of the community – everyone milks and when the pumps dry off, the rugby boots come on,” he says.

rugby. Because of this, his family decided to put up a shield, called the George Woodham Shield.” Played for by South Westland teams from Ross and heading south, Gary believes the first challenge was played between Ross and Harihari. Originally there were five teams eligible, including Whataroa, Fox and Franz. “Over the years, Franz and Fox combined with Haast (becoming known as South) – I suppose that’s to do with the mills closing down and lack of numbers,” Gary says. “So there’s now four teams and last year, South took it off Whataroa and defended it for the first time in 12 years.” Sounds like a regular rural rugby story, right? That’s when the significance of the Woodham Shield takes on a mind of its own. “Last year, they parachuted the shield in with a skydiver and all the cheer girls arrived by helicopter.” Skydiver? Cheer girls? Helicopter? “The cheer girls are all local girls – within the last 15 years, the cheer girls have become a more prominent thing and their antics at half time – clever chants and all that – has added to the atmosphere and is appreciated by all the teams.” For Gary, who lives at Tetaho, 15km from Whataroa, the spectacle is only half the fun – the tradition is just as important. “From a Whataroa perspective, growing up as a kid watching my old man play, all I wanted to do was play Woodham Shield,” he explains. “I can still remember my debut in 1984 – there was probably four of us playing for Whataroa for the

“At the trainings at Whataroa – and I assume the other places are the same – the kids come along, usually about half a dozen come to watch and wait their turn.

played for South Westland in the past or be an immediate family member of someone who has – and live in the area. It is not just the community that recognises its significance. Members of the Woodham family still attend some games, even presenting the shield. When Whataroa have won the shield, there is a ceremony at the local hotel, when a local identity comes in to hang the shield on the wall. As Gary says, “it is something they have done from day dot and a tradition we carry on with”. That tradition is what coaxed Gary MacRae out of retirement 2 years ago, to suit up for one more game. There were even a couple of fairy tale moments, to add to the legacy of the Woodham Shield. “I probably got a run over the last quarter of an hour. I ended up playing with my son and managed to trip over and land on the ball across the line,” he says, describing his last try – so far – for Whataroa. “That was a good day.”

Pre-lamb drenching vaccination It’s now time to consider pre-lamb ewe drenching vaccination. Mature animals generally have strong immunity against parasites for most of the year. However, at lambing this immunity can wane, leaving the animals more susceptible to the harmful effects of parasites.
We know that there are several factors to consider — one of the most important considerations is weighing up the benefits against the cost. So we’ve made it easy, comparing some of the top quality pre-lamb ewe products that we have to offer: their cost per ewe, application method, targeted parasites and length of persistent activity — and a simple summary of each product to help make

Destruct - kills all lice and nothing else Just because Destruct has been around for some time doesn’t mean it is down and out — quite the opposite. In the past 25 years the Macrocyclic Lactones (ML) have been the big boys on the block, with a broad spectrum of activity that has made them dominant in both the internal and external parasite market. However their broad spectrum of activity can have some downsides, especially when nontargeted parasite species are exposed, as tolerance will inevitably develop, with no production benefit.

Installing your water tank HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Here’s some handy hints and tips to ensure the installation of your new water tank goes smoothly! Firstly – preparation is key: 1. Ensure that the tank site is flat and level, free from rocks or stones and any foreign matter that may damage the tank’s base. 2. Ensure the tank site is well
To take advantage of the maximum catchment of water, it is ideal to place tanks at the end of a building. This way downpipes can be fed from both gutters into the one tank. Please note that the overflow capacity must match the downpipe capacity. For example, two 90mm inlet downpipes would require equal capacity overflows. Note also that tank overflows can go below the

DAIRY MANAGEMENT
Water, the essential element in your calf sheds Calves need access to water from day one and it is a good idea to get your water troughs fitted and operational before calving hits. Water is not only essential for development but calves who have access to water will eat more grain, leading to better rumen development and higher average daily weight gains. There are many types of water troughs available, choose one that has a float valve with an enclosed float, so there is less chance of a calf playing with it and flooding the pen. Using a waterer with a relatively small bowl ensures constant refilling with clean water. For maximum time saving in your sheds, a waterer that protects the water supply from contaminants will eliminate time spent cleaning out mucky water troughs.

DAIRY MANAGEMENT
Feeding management of cows through the transition period The “transition period” for dairy cows is commonly known as the period from 4 weeks before to 4 weeks after calving, during which time the cow is subject to extreme metabolic changes. This is arguably the most important time to strategically feed the cow properly to ensure the prevention of metabolic issues including milk fever, grass staggers, rapid weight loss and ketosis. These metabolic issues all have consequential effects on milk performance, health and fertility. Milk fever is a common consequence of metabolic changes during the transition period. The DCAD (dietary cation anion difference) of the diet pre-calving has a significant influence on switching on calcium mobilisation around calving. The higher the DCAD, the higher the risk of milk fever. In New Zealand, a high DCAD is often a result of high potassium levels in pasture or from grazing on effluent pasture paddocks. Farmers can lower the DCAD by supplementing with lower DCAD feeds including maize silage, grain based feeds and anionic minerals.

FORAGE AND ARABLE
Farming in a low pay-out season A drop in the milksolids price has left many farmers wondering how they can generate a profit (or at least minimise their loss) in a financially challenging season. Put simply, profit is the difference between income and costs. There are essentially three ways to increase profit – increase income, decrease costs, or do a combination of both. Cutting costs that do not affect production (e.g. deferring the purchase of a new ute) will automatically improve profitability, however the reality is that many farm costs (e.g. depreciation and labour) are semi-fixed. Reducing inputs such as feed, fertiliser, or animal health is likely to have some impact on production, either now or in future seasons. This is where budget slashing gets a whole lot trickier. In a paper titled “Smarter spending for a low pay-out” presented at a recent Southland Demo Farm Field Day, Howard de Klerk (Dairy Nutrition and Management Solutions) shows that the biggest cost to the average New Zealand farmer is interest (Table 1). Table 1: Total production costs of an average NZ dairy farmer.
Howard points out that while it is not included in Farm Working Expenses and therefore the net profit per hectare, interest has a major impact on the amount of cash the farm generates. Changing production per cow will not alter interest (assuming no extra shares are required or sold off) – but as production rises, interest per kgMS drops. Diluting interest costs by keeping production up is important, especially for farms with higher debt loadings. The key, according to Howard, is to find the level of production where operating costs are controlled but the farm is producing enough milk to dilute interest and other semi-fixed costs. At this “sweet spot” profit is maximised — production below this level is not optimum and production above this level is simply buying production. So what are the keys to farming profitably in a low pay-out year? Good farm management practices should apply whether the pay-out is low or at record levels. The key difference is that in a high pay-out year you can make more mistakes and still be profitable. Conversely, profit is less forgiving of mistakes in a low pay-out year. Three things to consider are: 1. Reduce costs carefully. Before cutting any input ask yourself, “what will be the impact on production and will the saving outweigh any potential loss in income”? Reducing feed input usually reduces milk output. Be realistic about how much supplementary feed you need. Don’t assume you can make

it through with a lot less than previous seasons unless you can see realistic opportunities to increase pasture and/or supplement utilisation, or are happy to accept a drop in production. 2. Make sure your comparative stocking rate (CSR) is in the correct range. DairyNZ recommends a CSR around 80 to maximise profit. This means that for every tonne of feed offered there should be around 80kg of cow liveweight to eat it. See www.dairynz.co.nz/feed/ feed-management-tools/comparativestocking-rate/ to calculate your CSR. 3. Purchase supplements wisely and use them strategically. The main aim of feeding supplements is to fill feed gaps and therefore produce more milk. It will always be uneconomic to feed supplements and waste pasture, or to waste supplements. Think about what you are trying to achieve with your feed and compare bought-in supplements on a c/MJME basis. Look for opportunities to reduce your supplementary feed spend by switching to a higher proportion of lower cost, home-grown supplements such as maize silage. As Howard points out, profit will already be down this season due to the lower milk price. Reducing production could reduce profit even further, so think carefully before you make any decision to cut costs, which will drastically affect your production.

Win the race against broadleaf ® weeds with Sprinter 700DS If your established pastures are looking the worse for wear this season, with broadleaf weeds taking the place of productive, high value grazing, it’s time to turn to a unique new herbicide from New Zealand’s leading crop protection supplier, Nufarm. Sprinter ® 700DS is a new-generation liquid phenoxy herbicide, which combines the latest advances in formulation technology with proven performance in the field. It’s the only product of its kind in the world and is patent pending in New Zealand. Key benefits for Sprinter 700DS include ease of use, strong compatibility with companion products, excellent translocation of active ingredient through plant tissue and good weed control. It is recommended for use in the period from autumn to spring, to rid established pastures of nuisance weeds like storksbill, dandelion, docks, thistles and ragwort. It is ideal for getting rid of seedling thistles prior to the coldest part of winter and it also has a good fit with farmers who need to tidy up established pastures after a difficult summer and autumn. “Months of dry weather have led to many established pastures becoming thin and open. This makes them highly susceptible to broadleaf weed ingression and this in turn has a negative impact on spring pasture production and quality,” Nufarm Technical Specialist Cynthia Christie says.

“We’ve learned from experience that the sooner drought-damaged paddocks can be restored to productivity, the faster farmers recover from adverse seasons like the one we’ve just had. Timely, effective broadleaf weed control is a significant part of this process.”
like Northland and Gisborne, or where sensitive crops have become more widespread.
Another big advantage is that unlike some other phenoxy herbicides, Sprinter 700DS will not crystallise under cold conditions and thus potentially block spray equipment.
Farmers now have the right tool for phenoxy herbicide application when weeds are actively growing, without the negative of the clover injury incurred by 2,4-D ester formulations.
Because it is a 2,4-D amine, Sprinter 700DS is non-volatile, providing pastoral farmers an alternative phenoxy herbicide in regions where use of older, 2,4-D ester formulations are subject to local body regulations,

Christie says tools like Sprinter 700DS are helping farmers become more flexible and productive in their use of phenoxy herbicides to maintain high value, weed-free grazing.

Special feeds for alpacas with special needs Alpaca are interesting animals that are popular on New Zealand lifestyle blocks and farms. Alpaca are domesticated animals from South America and belong to the group ‘Camelids’ along with camels and llamas. They have been bred historically for their high quality fibre, which is used to make knitted and woollen items. They also make great pets with friendly personalities. Alpaca are social herd animals and prefer to live in family groups. Interestingly enough, they are used as herd protectors for grazing animals in some countries around lambing or kidding time, as they protect the newly born animals from predators such as foxes, eagles and canines, attacking them with their front feet. In New Zealand, alpacas have even been used to protect chickens on free range farms from hawks.
consume sufficient amounts to meet their needs. For this reason loose minerals or mineralised pelleted feeds are better options for supplementing alpaca. Polioencephalomalacia (PEM), inflammation of the brain due to a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, is a condition more commonly seen in alpaca compared to other animals. The gut flora of ruminants and pseudo-ruminants usually produce enough thiamine to into consideration when keeping them. Vitamin D (the ‘sunshine vitamin’) deficiency is common in alpaca, possibly due to their evolution in sunny South America. This deficiency is exasperated in the winter months due to decreased sunshine hours. Vitamin D plays an important role in bone development and deficiency during pregnancy and lactation can cause rickets in young cria, due to low vitamin D in colostrum

Some weeds are also suspected to play a role in thiamine deficiency, due to the presence of an enzyme that breaks down thiamine. Symptoms of PEM include lethargy, low appetite or neurological impairment (head and ear twitching, drooling and staggering). Once an

Dwayne’s incredible journey It may not be the Coast to Coast but 23 kilometres is a long way to go on four legs, as Dwayne the cat found out in his desperate journey to get home to the Clarence Valley. After many decades running the Muzzle Station in the remote Clarence Valley, Colin and Tina Nimmo packed their bags and moved to a smaller farm under Mount Fyffe, a short drive from Kaikoura. “The Clarence Valley is very isolated,” Tina says. The access road can only be used in the summer months, so they took some of their gear out by truck – but many trips back and forth by plane were required to move the majority their belongings. “It’s probably the most isolated

Farmlands Fuel: business profile Farmlands Fuel and Bennett Fertilisers have teamed up to improve the way Bennett’s stores fuel, providing a smarter, more effective solution. Farmlands Fuel works hard to find the scenario that best suits the needs of the client. In the case of Bennett Fertilisers, a family owned and managed business that offers year-round bulk supply of standard and certified organic input chicken manure fertiliser, that meant a fit for purpose, modern and fully compliant facility. Bennett Fertilisers now has an improved onsite fuel storage solution. With a larger fuel storage capacity (20,000L) and smaller footprint, Farmlands Fuel and Bennett’s can manage fuel more efficiently via automatic tank gauging. Given the area covered by Bennett Fertilisers (ranging from the top of the

South Island MARKET UPDATE The lifestyle and farm sectors of the market are still active and we are receiving enquiries from local and national buyers, corporates and international purchasers. Quality properties are always in demand no matter which market sector they fall into. Our residential teams continue to be very busy in the lower to midprice ranges and, with recent changes to KiwiSaver entitlements, it is possible there will be many more first home buyers in the market. The rural team has had a number of strong sales recorded in the past month, notably sheep and beef properties have been in demand. Interestingly the majority of the successful purchasers have come from within the district and there has been less competition from cashed up purchasers who have sold well for dairy conversion. Despite the forecast dairy pay-out and the outlook for 2015/2016 season, quality dairy farms have sold very well with multiple buyers creating competition.
WHOLE MILK BUSINESS WITH POTENTIAL GREYMOUTH, WEST COAST 57 hectares. This rare opportunity to continue with a local whole milk business is unique. Based off approximately 40 hectare effective and currently milking 15 cows all year round, previously 80 cows seasonal supply unit. A very tidy 18 bail rotary cow shed makes milking a breeze. Located only minutes out of Greymouth township, this property can really offer you lifestyle farming at its best.

Agri service businesses must be accessible to their clients and bridge the gap between city and country. Waterloo Business Park, on the border of metropolitan Christchurch and the agricultural Canterbury Plains, is perfectly positioned as a new hub for these businesses.
