Lincoln University’s Portfolio of Farms

I

am often asked about what we’re doing with “our” 5,000 hectare portfolio of farmland. The University owns some of that portfolio and influences or manages other parts of it in partnership with schools or trusts. About 4,000ha is in Te Waipounamu (the South Island) and 1,000ha is in Te Ika a Maui (the North Island). We have different uses for this farmland.

The first is to train students in the practical means of how to be farmers or farmhands (straining fences, shearing sheep, driving tractors and the like). In our own portfolio we do this at Balclutha (the farm at our Telford campus) and Kaikohe (Northland College farm) and will soon do it at Bulls, the Rangitikei (our new Westoe farm).

The second is to educate students, in a less hands on way, in land-based subjects using our farms as examplars. We do this across most of our farms.

The third is to perform detailed research on aspects of farming. In our portfolio we do this on the Iverson Fields, Johnson Memorial Laboratory land, Ashley Dene Farm, Lincoln University Research Dairy Farm and Lincoln Sheep, all centred around our Te Waihora campus. Research is also performed by other parties at the Telford Farm.

The fourth is to develop new systems of farming and we are about to do this on our Ashley Dene Farm where we plan to convert 190ha to intensive, irrigated dairying and less-intensive, dryland dairying. Once we have developed profitable, low impact dairy farming systems we’ll then take these to scale.

The fifth is to demonstrate whole farming systems that are highly profitable and have a low environmental footprint at commercial scale. The only example so far is our Lincoln University Demonstration Dairy Farm at Te Waihora, but we about to supplement this with a St Peter’s School-Lincoln University Demonstration Dairy Farm in the Waikato (Cambridge) and we are in the process of setting up two Lincoln University Demonstration Red-meat Finishing Farms at Hororata (called Silverwood and located on the Canterbury Plains) and our Westoe Farm (mentioned above).

The sixth and final use is to provide money to fund scholarships and we presently do this with our Argyll Farm in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough and our High Country Station, Mount Grand, close to Wanaka. We are presently reviewing the future use(s) for Mount Grand, which may well err towards demonstration as well as an element of farm-based tourism. We have leased our arable farm at Te Waihora to Plant and Food Research until 2019.

Whilst you see a lot of cows around our Te Waihora campus we are in fact involved in sheep, beef and deer training, education and research, and are about to go to scale in lamb, beef, bull beef and possible deer finishing in both Islands. There are gaps in our portfolio such as sheep, beef cattle and deer breeding, and arable. We are presently thinking about how we can move into those areas of farming. At some point we want to move into the orchard space and we also want to develop a portfolio of conservation estate too.

Finally, this portfolio of farms is for use by students and staff of all three Faculties, both Divisions (LincolnFirst Telford and University Studies and English Language) and our Research Centres. I also hope that we’ll be using them through our common courses, LINC 101 and LINC201. Email me if you have questions – andrew.west@lincoln.ac.nz

A massive thank you to everyone who got involved at Orientation 2015! It almost feels like a distant memory now!!

Looking back on the photos it was a wicked time with great weather, great people and great acts – an excellent way to kick start the year. – Lucy Blackmore

Highlights?

Definitely starting the week with a free snow cone and sausage!! Thanks to Arise church for helping out as well. It was a fun atmosphere outside LUSA with DJ Nacoa cranking some sweet beats, not to mention the vertical bungy action.

Comedy Night was

a laugh and a half, with Rhys Mathewson getting topless onstage and Chopper playing up, chopping down a few beersies – I wonder how his head was on Tuesday..

Taco Tuesday with Tommy

Taco was terrifically tasty, can’t wait to get them back out on campus!

Glam Rock Toga on Wednesday lived up to its name

with some glam looking gals a rockin good band and a whole lot of togas!! Enough said!

Shout out to this Security Guard for repinning people’s toga mishaps all night!

Monday the 2nd was probably my favourite night with

hypnotist Guy Cater causing all sorts of chaos

in the Mrs O’s dining hall. We had agents answering shoe phones, falling in love with audience members and some participants convinced they’d won the lottery.

Clubs and Market Day was a cracker of a day with

over 70 stalls! Thanks to the Rec Centre for allowing LUSA to host this event outside their facility.

If you missed this day and would like to join a club please get in touch! Pop into LUSA HQ, or email LUSA.Recreation@lincoln.ac.nz You can also see a list of all LUSA clubs at LUSA.org.nz/clubs.htm

It was battle of the brightest on Wednesday night for the

International Quiz Night. Admittedly half

the questions went well over my head but the teams put in a superb effort!

On Thursday DJ Paul Mckessar came on campus to

lay some tracks for Burgers, Beers and Beats. The sunshine was an added bonus and made for a great arvo!

This year LUSA have many more good times planned, so if you haven’t already, like us on Facebook to stay up to date with what’s happening on campus.

What do we know about sexual violence?

• Estimates are that one in four girls and one in eight guys in New Zealand will experience sexual violence during their lives.

• The risk is higher in your teens and early 20s.

• Most of the time you’ll know your attacker.

Are YOU that someone?

Four ideas for things you could do: • Check in – Ask the person at risk if they’re OK with what’s going on.

• Call it as you see it – Tell them what they’re doing is not OK. • Get involved – If you can do it safely, cause a distraction or split ‘em up.

• Get help – Grab your mates or others to join you in speaking up.

If a situation is escalating and it’s not safe, find someone in charge (bar tender, bouncer, campus security) or call the police on 111. Always keep yourself safe.

Earth Hour first started 2007 in Sydney to raise awareness of climate change. By 2011, 135 countries and 1.8 billion people participated worldwide. In 2014 it was reported by WWF that 162 countries and territories switched off for the planet in an amazing display of global unity.

Mrs O’s: One Year On – Andy Kirk

Caclin Issue 2 | 18

Turn your calendars to March 2014 to recall a world in chaos. In a shocking display of neighbourly “intervention”, Russian troops have invaded the Crimean peninsula. Flight MH370 has vanished without a trace, leaving governments across the globe searching for lives and answers.

Closer to home, houses and streets in Christchurch are flooded with water after a series of torrential rains. Meanwhile a cultural revolution in its own right was taking place in Lincoln, New Zealand. That, of course, was the opening of the new (but sort of old though, really) Mrs. O’s.

Along with this momentous occasion came soaring expectations and dreams of sunken lawn lounging. As a neutral observer, watching the progress and changes throughout the last year has been fascinating.

On one hand, you need only to seek out a rice ball there after 12:30 pm to find evidence of Mrs. O’s’ booming daytime business.

However, the few of us who

enjoyed the convenience of a well-earned beer after the library closes cannot help but follow some of these changes with a touch of regret. That said, it’s clear that making all the pieces fit has been a challenge, albeit an important one for the University. What better time to give those involved an opportunity to reflect upon where Mrs. O’s has been in year one, as well as what’s ahead? Heather Watson, from Lincoln Hospitality, was kind enough to address many of these issues and more for the Caclin!

One year in, what has your favourite moment been for the new Mrs. O’s?

Getting Mrs O’s open for the Sports Scholars and Future leaders was a buzz, we only got compliance at 2.00 pm the day before!

Favourite moments for Catering in Mrs O’s; Many. To name a few: • Student Orientation • Graduation • First Wedding • Official opening by Hon Stephen Joyce

8.00pm. Sunday 12.00 noon to 8.00pm.

Some on campus have wondered why there generally aren’t “drinks specials” or “happy hour” type

arrangements at Mrs. O’s. What has been your position on that subject? And are you considering additional ways to engage students?

We endeavour to keep our beverage prices as low as possible at all times so that students and staff get the best possible deals whenever they feel like having a drink. We work closely with LUSA and the Halls to promote events at Mrs O’s.

(author’s note: Heather pointed out that Mrs. O’s would actually have to raise prices to equal the price of a special at the famous-you-know-where)

• Showcasing the venue to Aulumi and annual conference guests.

In your shoes a year ago, how did you see Mrs. O’s fitting

into University life? Would you say the results have been pretty true to your expectations?

There were a lot of changes made when the new Mrs O’s opened, so the expectation was a little unknown. Over time some of the changes that were initialised were not working as well as first thought.

How would you describe your vision for Mrs. O’s going forward over the next few years?

With projected student growth, the future of food outlets on campus is exciting, there are a lot of opportunities for catering and so the future of Mrs O’s will be part of this.

We are also open to any suggestions from students to improve what is offered in Mrs O’s. At present, we are looking at different furniture and fittings towards making

enough for meetings during the day, but then also inviting enough for students in the evening. Has it been tricky to find the balance?

Yes, Mrs O’s caters for a diverse range of customers, from high school students to professors, it is not easy to balance some students wanting to have a jug of beer in the afternoon and University staff having a coffee meeting, but this is something we are continuously working on to find balance that suits everyone.

We’ve seen a lot of adjustments to the opening hours,

particularly on the weekend. What has that process been like, and what is the thinking behind the current hours?

We have had to balance being open for students and running a business. We especially want to be available for students on nights and weekends, but we have not seen the numbers we would like. So this has made us cut back the hours of operation.

Sexy, blonde Swedish boys, delicious pastries and cinnamon flavored everything, summer bonfires where the sun began to set at 11pm…

Wait! I almost forgot I went to Sweden to study!

– Emma Petersen

H

ej hej, Jag är Emma. I’ve just returned to Lincoln after one amazing year studying Landscape Architecture at SLU Alnarp, The Swedish University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Scandinavia is bursting with historical architecture, innovative design, and

beautiful natural landscapes and was an obvious pick for my Go Global exchange experience.

Life as a Swedish student was exactly as you would imagine it, biking to the library on cobblestone streets, reading countless papers on the history of Landscape Architecture while enjoying endless amounts of fika (Coffee and cake at any time of the day)!

“Life as a Swedish student was exactly as you would imagine it, biking to the library on cobblestone streets & reading countless papers on the history of Landscape Architecture while enjoying endless amounts of fika.”

Nightlife on Campus mostly consisted of eating fermented herring, schnapps and folk dancing at themed dinner parties! And for a little more excitement, we could be in Malmö or across the bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark where anything could happen… one quiet night even turned into a night of twerking at Reggae Dance Hall Festival in the Meat District!

I arrived in a winter wonderland and leaped at the chance to visit Lapland in the far north where I went sledding with huskies and reindeer, saw the incredible Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, attempted cross country skiing, braved a dip in the Arctic Ocean, followed by a sauna of course! I also jumped on a flight to Prague, Czech Republic, to reunite with the European students who had been on exchange in New Zealand in 2013.

The spring months were a very welcomed change and an opportunity for camping, bonfires and swimming. Taking only five minutes to bike to the beach from campus, this is where we spent every moment free of study.

Over the summer, I travelled with my family, spending time with our

relatives in Denmark and my 21st birthday on the island of Santorini in Greece. I then hopped aboard my Contiki bus and spent the next month travelling around Europe. I ended the summer with a week in Budapest, the beautiful capital city of Hungary with my friends I had met in Sweden, exploring market halls, Turkish bath houses, castles, parliament and I even went to a traditional Hungarian wedding at Lake Balaton!

The second semester in Sweden was all about getting immersed in Swedish Culture and campus life with the Crayfish Party, Christmas markets, Tivoli Gardens, Sankta Lucia, baking a pepparkakor house, celebrating a traditional Christmas in Denmark, new years in Budapest and skiing and snowboarding in Salzburg, Austria!

I had the most wonderful year and I encourage anyone who has a passion for travel and adventure to do an exchange during their time at Lincoln!

They had two short hind limbs and two longer forelimbs with opposable digits. Their round heads sat directly on their shoulders and their skin was covered in a dark green exoskeleton.

It did not. It moved closer and sniffed loudly at him.

Hostility! J’Nas raised his particle oscillator and fired.

With a loud moo the charred animal bolted. Lowering the weapon J’Nas noticed one of the locals watching him.

The soft-skinned biped’s open mouth was surrounded by wiry hair. It was taller than J’Nas, perhaps 1.8 meters and wore a one-piece blue outfit and black boots. The being shook its head then spoke. J’Nas activated his translator.

"You just crisped my cow!"

Enlightenment struck. The animal was domesticated and therefore had likely been harmless.

"I apologise for the accidental damage to your domesticated female bovine."

The being blinked a few times and muttered something like “bloody academics” then louder, "is this some crazy experiment they forgot to mention to us?"

“Yes,” J’Nas seized the proffered excuse gladly. “Now I need to go. I seek small quadruped ruminants covered in long fibre. Do you know where I may find some?”

“I’ve never heard an academic talk like you before. What are they?”

The local was clearly unable to assist him so J’Nas wandered on before his disguise was penetrated. He reached and followed one of the natives’ roadways covered in tar and sharp stones. A cluster of buildings came into view and he hesitated. Greater exposure to the creatures was unwise.

Before he had to make up his mind to continue his search in the settlement or take another route, bleating off to his right caught his attention. A group of small, fourlegged, fluffy white animals were grazing there. J’Nas glanced at one of his instruments. Yes! These were the fuel source he was seeking. *** A sheep farmer was missing a large number of ewes. The police were called, but no sign of the sheep thieves was

humorous. He did not want to cut his time short so as the patched and refuelled vessel prepared to launch he approached Captain D’Lon. "If you have no objection Captain D’Lon, I intend to remain on this planet. I request that you supply me with the necessary identity documentation from the ship's replication machines so I can enrol in the human centre of learning they call a university. It will provide ample opportunities to learn more about these fascinating creatures."

"I have no objection, but as recent events have shown we do not know how to act like humans. Surely they will realise and capture you."

"I concur that elsewhere that could be an issue, yet I believe I will have sufficient time to perfect my disguise before they become suspicious; preliminary analysis indicates that universities contain such a mix of cultures and personalities that one more eccentric among the first-year undergraduates is unlikely to be noticed." *** The battered remnants of the spacecraft blasted into the sky. With its cloaking device functioning at full capacity its launch went completely unnoticed. Within days D’Lon and A’Li had been rescued and were on their way home.

Meanwhile back on Earth J’Nas, or Jonas as his papers named him was preparing for an odd university rite known as “Orientation”. The illogical behaviour of humans was a source of endless fascination to him. What stories he would have to tell when he eventually went home. He might even have some fun while he was here...

found. Later sheep identified as the farmer’s were found wandering in dazed circles some distance away. They were unharmed.

While the farmer sought his sheep J’Nas was trying to herd a flock of white woolly creatures back to the E’Dos while erasing all traces of their passage. The chips temporarily inserted into the animals made them docile, but they also had a tendency to walk straight into obstacles such as hedges and water troughs rather than around them. They would even drift off course just to walk into things. The going was slow. *** A few days later the remains of the E’Dos were ready to depart. While D’Lon and A’Li repaired their controls J’Nas had been studying the locals – “humans” they called themselves and had even obtained some of their literature.

Diaries

The 2015 Semester starts and along with that comes new flats, New Year’s resolutions and a sh*t-ton of banter. We got onto sorting out the flat pretty late and threw together a large group of lovers and scored a mean pad on the beach at Sumner. @Dogtown.

Caclin Issue 2 | 29

Dogtown Diaries

First things first, sort the essentials: WiFi, electricity and BUNKBEDS. We are a bunch of surf-bums that refuse to pay full price for a lot of things.

We spent the first weekend building bunks board racks and tables. Sharing beds with the boy’s works until someone wants to pull so bunks built just in time for O-week.

HOW TO BUILD BUNK BEDS Step 1: Score free timber.

Step 2: Find a mate that’s a chippie and has a heap of tools (avoid beers and

nail gun combos)

Step 3: Look at the room and think of the potential number of beds possible;

then double it!

Step 4: Locate some cheap mattresses Step 5: Test her out. Capitalize on extra activity areas.

Hot water wasn’t working for the first week so we had a choice: individual cold showers or group pre-uni surf/swims. Obvious decision led to 6am pre-soap parties in the kitchen with the flat. Running into the sea sure did shake off any cobwebs from the previous night’s antics. Although hot water is back on, Hugo is still rocking the morning swim ritual.

One of the flat rules is no TV (brainwash box). This has led our lounge to be a room of toys: Guitars for jams. Bikes/ skateboards for local missions. Couches and hammocks for J Chilling with the ever expanding crew. With a great crew of people and a passion for adventure our life at the flat consists of endless activates. We have a beach on our doorstep and hills up the back. We have already found half a dozen climbing crags within 10mins of Dogtown. Also the new skate ramp in out front yard has provided a bunch of laughs and grazes. Shredders welcome!!

rior to February of this year, I had never been camping, nor did I have any desire to. Hailing from Yonkers, New York and thus a few short

miles (ahem, kilometers) from downtown Manhattan, I found solace in concrete, constant public transportation

New York/ Zealand:

Coming to NZ without a Sleeping Bag

and anything, anytime. I appreciated moving around my crowded city fast. Downtown, the only pests were slow walkers, able to be maneuvered around; real pests like bugs were annoying and stayed outside the revolving doors of my beloved skyscrapers.

Camping trips sounded awful, to be honest, but I never tried it out. I didn't understand why someone would pack up everything to sleep outside and battle mosquitoes and cold (or heat). Why did so many people love it?

Nature certainly exists in New York, but generally thrives upstate. Upstate New York insinuates isolation which equals undesirability, generally speaking (to New York urbanites). But, appreciation for it can be found. Camping is not unheard of completely, but is a tad bit jarring to the ears of aforementioned city-goers. However, our appreciation for nature pales exceptionally in comparison to my Californian counterparts. Attending university on the opposite coast opened my eyes (a little reluctantly) to how pleasant outside could be. Still, I stuck to sleeping

exclusively inside and on a bed.

Needless to say, the past three years for me have been a progression of getting acquainted with Mother Nature, slowly but surely.

Before this February, hiking was just glorified walking in

“Before this February, hiking was just glorified walking in dirt, a view from the base of a mountain was satisfying enough and the thought of sacrificing a clean bathroom for the sake of the great outdoors was intolerable.”

dirt, a view from the base of a mountain was satisfying enough and the thought of sacrificing a clean bathroom for the sake of the great outdoors was intolerable.

But now it is March and I find myself in New Zealand. I realise that the appreciation for nature here makes even California look weak in the "loving outside" department.

New Zealand is, as you well know, a country with the most varied and captivating landscapes in the world. Much of that beauty is tangible because of the very appreciation for the outdoors that is so prevalent here. Respect for the environment and acknowledgment of its importance is a fundamental step in conserving the sweeping panorama we photograph so much: a lesson California, New York and plenty other locations can learn from.

Fresh from a trip to Arthur's Pass, I made unprecedented personal history and went on multiple hikes and camped outside in the rain, sans bathroom. Granted, I was able to do so because of where I was – a sublime location, unparalleled in its beauty. The person that was once affronted by shelf save milk, sleeping bags and tent assembly is starting to eat her previously unkind words about camping because of Aotearoa.

One month into my study abroad trip and concrete doesn't have much on New Zealand.

memorable so far have been the Silly sports where the 'Sharks' managed to get the better of the 'Rams' and come away with a 3-1 win in Ultimate Frisbee.

In other news the week 1 BBQ and Pot luck dinner was also extremely successful. This gave a lot of the international students a chance to meet their fellow residents and enjoy a bit of friendly banter. Im sure there will be a few more shin digs before the semester is over.

ell, what a start to the year, Lowrie is back in a big way this

year after being empty previously.

We have a fantastic group of students in our hall. Matt and I struggle to keep up with the shenanigans, so i'll summarise them quickly.

​ inner winner, W chicken noodles for dinner:

Lowrie has come all guns blazing, taking out Silly Sports with the best banner, best chant and winner of the overall award! Notably, we have also been known to demo teams in dodgeball and touch. We are one to watch.

​Lowrie-Year of the noodles:

It seems as though the student diet has set in quickly with this bunch, with copious amounts of noodles being consumed at all times of the day.

Shout out to Stephen Smyllie, who has been known to eat up to 4 packets a day, and also to Dylan Falconer who set the microwave on fire when making noodles in a METAL travel mug.

​Banter:

Lowrie has already proven to have copious amounts of banter.

Some of the highlights as follows:

"We just get loose in Lowrie"

- Georgina Bell

"Knock it down and build a new one"

Nothing decent here from your hall?

That’s really sad.

"Colombo has a mangina"

If you don’t like orange - don’t panic! It might taste like something completely different, like sausages. Or baked beans. Yes, it could be baked beans.

Cancer June 22 – July 23 Heaven knows what kinds of things are going to happen to you today. All I’m able to tell you is that it’s going to be hectic and possibly traumatic. It’s hard though because that could just be what’s on television, and not what’s going to happen to you.
