Darren and Jennifer Hislop are our hosts for this field day where we will be looking into some of the features of their farm, including their new effluent and in-shed feeding systems.
The Hislops use OAD as one of their management tools. Paul Edwards, DairyNZ, will outline some of the practicalities of OAD and alternative variable milking options. He will also talk about the latest research on 3in2 milking at different stages of lactation and the effect of different 3in2 milking times at peak lactation. This information will help you to identify the options that will best suit your business and make the switch successfully.
There are multiple factors to consider to get the best results from your feed selections. Megan Hardy, NRM, will talk about the values and merits of different feeds, when and how to feed them, forages versus concentrates, what drives profit from these feeds, and determining how much you can afford to pay.
Are you wondering if your effluent system needs upgrading? The Hislops have put in a new system with a Flexi Tank. They will talk about the process they followed to identify a system that would work on their farm, how they ensured it would be compliant and futureproof, and where they got advice to help them to develop an effective solution.
Free event, all welcome. Morning tea and lunch provided.

The payout is looking reasonable this season, but costs are on the rise. Do you have a good handle on them or are they creeping up? Campbell Wood, AgriFocus, will look into how you can analyse your finances, especially FWE, to see where you can make changes and futureproof your business.
Jair Mandriaza, LIC Senior Reproduction Solutions Advisor, will talk about how to achieve your goals for your herd, by developing the right breeding plan, making the right culling decisions, and good reproductive management.
Farm succession is a journey, rather than a destination, what is your pathway? What are the options? Managers, sharemilkers, leasing, sell the lot, or something else? What are the needs of all of your business’s stakeholders and is there a plan to deliver them? Tony Hammington will start you on the path to putting a plan together that works for you and your farming business.

Join us for a practical on-farm workshop about body condition scoring!
We’ll be out in a paddock with Ilyse Jennens from Franklin Vets (DairyNZ accredited) as she shows us how to condition score cows. You’ll learn how important it is to think about condition scores when drying cows off. What you’ll learn can also be used to reach condition score targets at calving.
Food and drinks will be provided. Please wear farm-appropriate clothing and gumboots, and let us know if you can make it by the 13th of February.
Feel free to bring along friends, family, neighbours and your team. Everyone’s welcome at Dairy Women’s Network Hauraki Plains regional events!
