Get to know your crew Tony Krawczyk Technical Field Officer
Coming from a farming background, Tony has a strong passion for agriculture, the people and the land. Through previous roles at both Farmlands and AgFirst, Tony has developed a broad understanding of farmer’s needs and a keen interest in enhancing hill country production. Having managed properties in the area for over 20 years, Tony has the experience to help our shareholders overcome the challenges that can be faced when working on the land. He really enjoys advising shareholders, helping them to reap the rewards of working in agriculture. In his spare time, Tony enjoys boating coupled with the outdoor pursuits which Gisborne is renowned for. Tony and his wife Michell have two adult children who are pursuing careers in other parts of the country, returning regularly as they are proud to call Gisborne home.

We’ve been busy Fishing competition reels in the crowds Earlier in March we held our fishing competition. With 29 boats and 101 anglers on the water, the whole team did an exceptional job of hosting our first competition in over six years. We have been told by shareholders and suppliers who baited up that this needs to become a recurring event – so look out for details on this now-annual contest later in the year! Pictured are some of the prize winners – a mixture of shareholders, suppliers and Farmlands staff. From left to right – Peter Carswell (Iplex), Paul Hurley (Farmlands Te Puke Business Manager), Chris Wills (TFO) and Rob Newman (Farmlands shareholder).
The art of biking and bonding Health and Safety is a big focus for us here at Farmlands so during our lunch breaks we like to grab our bikes and hit the road for some fresh air and exercise. Hope we don’t cause any accidents with people staring at us! From left to right (outside our building’s mural) is Mike Pyatt, Robyn Hollamby, Sian Watts, Di Rogers and Mark Wiersma.
