Hawke’s Bay farmers Simon and Lou White have now been recognised for their irrigation excellence and environmental stewardship. Overcoming hurdles in the Central Plateau Carlos Segura manages one of four blocks that together make up the 6350 hectares of Tuatahi Farming Limited Partnership on the Central Plateau. Finding new and interesting methods After 32 years of managing Tangihau Station, Dean McHardy is still nding new and interesting ways to make gains in the farm’s Angus stud, its commercial herd, and its commercial ock. Using B+LNZ’s GHG (Green House Gas) calculator, East Coast Farm Manager Richard Webby was pleased to record a reading of -.614 tonnes per hectare. Gold Creek Simmentals has made a bold move. It is now a 100% stud breeding operation after selling off its commercial herd.
