Our purpose
Learn more about DairyNZ’s purpose, and what progressing a positive future for New Zealand dairy farming means to us.
What's new
Hear about dairy’s economic outlook and what it means for farmers with Mark Storey and Mark Speight. We also cover the impacts of adverse weather on farm systems and how farmers down south are coping with a tough spring this season.
October is a busy month for data collection for animal evaluation – there are 3 release dates for our Ranking of Active Sires (RAS) list to ensure you have the most up to date information for your breeding decisions.
Our new events are designed to deliver value by focusing on topics that address specific needs in your region, and the longer-term challenges of the sector. Take the opportunity to hear from our experts and learn what actions host farmers are taking.
The new Inside Dairy is out now and it’s had a refresh. It’s still uniquely Inside Dairy, but with some exciting improvements and changes.
