Erosion control trees on saleAbout 4,000 budding poplar and willow trees are going cheap from the Northland Regional Council this month to qualifying landowners for the winter planting season.
Councillor Joe Carr says the council sells the poles which usually retail for more than $8 each for just $5 including GST provided landowners agree to a planting plan to ensure the trees are planted appropriately and future maintenance is allowed for.
Landowners have until Friday, May 29 to register an interest. The trees have been used extensively in Northland for many years to help prevent and control erosions, nutrient losses and decrease waterway pollution.
Both species have extensive root systems which help bind soil and prevent erosion, and council promotes their use both as part of its soil conservation and water quality work, said Cr Carr.
You can visit us online for everything you need to know about establishing poplars and willows and a new online ordering form.
He said while people question the use of non-native species like poplar and willow for erosion control, they are specifically chosen because their fast growth rates which means they can begin to do the job theyre intended for more quickly.
Stabilising land and associated reductions in both erosion and sedimentation is absolutely essential for us here in Northland and sediment is one of our biggest water contaminants.
Councillor Joe Carr
The best time to plant the trees in Northland is typically from June to mid-August.
The bulk of this years pole supply is being sourced from a Cambridge supplier, but from next year the council hopes to be able to start sourcing increasing numbers of poles from its own poplar and willow nursery near Whangarei.
The regional council set up the five-hectare nursery in Flyger Rd, Mata, two years ago.
Pole nurseries typically take three years to establish from scratch so all going well we will be able to harvest our first crop of several thousand poles for local use next year.

Big rise in food production feesby Paul Campbell
Charges for food safety and biosecurity from the Ministry of Primary Industries are set to recover almost $12 million in increased updated fees to recover costs for its services from businesses and industries.
The new charges come into effect on July 1.
The increase follows a review of cost recovery in February this year in which MPI held 21 consultation meetings around the country and received a total of 247 submissions.
Over the next year, MPI expects the amount recovered from industry for biosecurity to increase by approximately $6.0 million to $36.4 million, and to increase by approximately $5.9 million to $61.2 million for food safety.
Key updated fees and policies include: updating around 250 biosecurity and food safety fees, charges and levies
reducing costs to small dairy processors by decreasing their annual levy and creating a new levy category for medium dairy processors
introducing cost recovery for infant formula exports
introducing cost recovery for the essential services that the
Government provides the wine industry such as setting industry standards, and helping the industry gain market access
increasing the biosecurity entry levy fee
revising the rules and fees around biosecurity transitional and containment facilities
increasing the veterinary professional hourly rate for all live animal veterinary inspections
increasing resources for approvals of registrations for trade names for agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines to reduce the processing time; and the adoption of a single export and domestic levy for poultry production.
MPI provides a range of important food safety and biosecurity services, said MPIs deputy director-general, Dan Bolger.This includes the development and
maintenance of domestic and overseas standards, monitoring and testing of
products to ensure consumer safety, gaining market access, and providing assurances to overseas customers.
Fees recovered allow MPI to provide services that are integral to the growth of our $37.4 billion primary sector export industry, keep food consumers safe here and overseas, and ensures New Zealand maintains its reputation as a reliable producer of safe, high quality goods.
At the same time as the cost recovery review, MPI ran a separate consultation which looked at proposals to introduce cost recovery for regulatory services under the new Food Act 2014.
As a result of this consultation, MPI will recover costs from food businesses

associated with providing essential services such as registration and the clearance of imported food.
Updated fees and policies will take effect on July 1, 2015 except for fees under the Food Act 2014, which comes into effect on March 1, 2016.

His wife Dionne was tired of the long cold winters and sitting inside for seven months at a time waiting for the harsh weather to clear, so they decided to go on an adventure and moved to Kerikeri in 2011. They started a cattery business which she manages and he secured work as a dairy farm manager.
There is a lot of difference between farming here and in America, said John.
Even the bugs here are not a problem. We had biting flies to contend with that would eat your stock alive given the opportunity. The stock had to stay indoors most of the year. New Zealand is like a paradise.
They had to produce crops literally all summer to feed the herd in winter. It is all indoors in barns over there for the winter season because of the intense snow.
Cows have a much more relaxed life here as they stay on the pastures and it is easier because you dont spend all your time making the feed for them as they can harvest it themselves.
He lived on the family property until he was in his fifties. When he was young he remembers a few old tractors, and they originally used horses to do the work. He says now the equipment keeps getting bigger and bigger just like here, a necessity of farming now days.
From Wisconsin to Northland
by Ann Morgan
John Urban grew up on his grandpas 480-acre dairy farm in Wisconsin, United States, whi was in his family for 100 years. He is a third generation farmer and he cropped 350 acres for feed including maize, oats, alfalfa-clover mix, and hay for his herd of 130 cows.
John believes cows have a mu more relaxed way of life in New Zealand

The more cows in a herd, the quicker you have to get the feed in and everything is on a bigger scale which means bigger equipment, he said.
Cattle here are smaller than in the States. We like smaller breeds in New Zealand like Jersey and Friesian as they dont compact the paddocks so much and if they are heavy they muck up the land.
Northland farming is a dream to me you cant beat the climate here, it is wonderful.
There is a big advantage to not having a winter with snow and ice. The grass keeps growing all year unless there is a drought and there are lots of things you dont have to worry about like frozen water cups and pushing snow. It was tough on our farm in Wisconsin.
Feed would come out of the silos frozen and he would have to take an axe to chop it up to size.
It is more physical farming there. We would stack 10,000 square bales of hay in summer for winter, and did lots of feeding using wheelbarrows in the stall barns.
We used to cart the grain in and scoop it out for each cow individually. We swept and limed the walkways daily. We would cut the hair off the cows udders and legs to keep them cleaner, for better milk quality.
Milking was different too. They would predip the cups for each cow with iodine and individually wipe them off with a paper towel then put the units on.
We dont dip here in New Zealand because we dont want the iodine to get
into the milk. I have noticed the counts are better and so far this season we are grade free, this proves we dont need iodine, he said.
There are a lot of things we miss about Wisconsin but sometimes when you have done the same thing for a long time it is good to go and see what the rest of the world is like and try new opportunities.
Dont be afraid to try new things and move away from where you are used to. Meeting different people and cultures is interesting as you learn how other people do things, including farming.
It is a huge thing to leave all the people you know, to go somewhere where you dont know anyone, but the experience is worth it.
Farms are getting larger in both countries all the time and its getting harder to make a living from small herds. I think in the future farmers are going to need larger herds to make dairy farming work financially.
In the ed, John was not used to not using iodine to erilise the cups

I dont count myself to be anything special, I just did what thousands of others had to do when the war happened, he said.
On his return from the war in 1947, he worked on an experimental farm for a year in the Kaipara getting reacquainted with farming and settling into the job before he leased the farm he is still on today in Arapohue. He married Betty in 1949 and they have six children.
We purchased the 62 acre farm in 1951 for approximately 1,700 pounds. We then expanded with a runoff property which we had to develop from Tea tree and scrub to grassland to make the whole property an economic unit and we were then able to increase the herd.
We started with just 35 cows, an ideal farm had 60. I was in a rush to get
started, and I didnt want to wait around because farms were hard to come by at that stage as a lot of returned servicemen wanted to buy them.
When he first started farming he used horses to do the work. There were a few tractors around he says but not very many.
The introduction of machinery has totally changed farming as far as agriculture goes. Flush hosing has majorly improved the job. We used to sweep the sheds down with a bucket of water and a broom.
He says the quad bike and the use of tractors instead of horses and plows have obviously made work easier and the electric fence was a great introduction as it has enabled the subdivision of larger paddocks to be done much more
WORLD WAR IIFARMING SINCE
BY ANN MORGAN
At 21, Mr Nicholas was enlisted to serve in the New Zealand tank recovery section, rescuing damaged battle units with crawler tractors and transporters.
He returned to New Zealand after World War II on a merchant ship via the Suez canal and settled into a farming lifestyle.
Ron and Betty Nicholas are still farming on the same property they bought in 1951

easily. We used to have pigs and sell cream. Many farmers had pigs and the saying was the pigs paid the rent. It was called farm separation, the skim milk went to rear the pigs and what you made from selling them paid the mortgage, if you were farming the pigs correctly.
We made hay as extra feed, that was it. Silage has become more vogue now with the new wrapped bales available as it is easier to handle and the new feeder machinery makes it easier now to feed out, he said.
They ended up milking 50 cows on that farm and bought the neighbouring property where they also milked an extra
100 and raised steers. They are still farming drystock today.
He believes the advancing of farming has definitely been positive but the amalgamation of farms has not helped the district communities because there are less people and that is a detriment to the local economy with less families being present.
It has got to the stage where it is nearly impossible for a young kiwi farmer to have a farm of their own. You are now looking at needing three to four million to buy a property as they are so large, and farmers have to milk more cows to be economic with some farms having to milk a herd of 1,000, he said.
It was much more hands on when I was young. We farmed and did the work ourselves. Now a lot of properties are run by partnerships or corporates who have a manager on site.
It is still a good way to bring up children, especially if they are mixing with the animals and being out in the fresh air.
These days you have to have an education to be a farmer, you just have to accept change. I didnt have one, I left school at 14-years-old to work on my brothers farm. Another brother had wanted me to become a guard on a train but I chose farming and am pleased I did. Farming has been good to us.

Concerned about the water quality and declining ecology in the area of the Waipao stream, the Adams brothers made a decision that the best option to solve the local water issues, was to look after the Waipao stream themselves.
In 2005 they invited the landowners and farmers in the area to a meeting to discuss options for fencing off and revegetating the waterways to ensure health was restored to the stream, not only for water quality but also for the life in the stream.
We had no knowledge of horticulture at the time but we had the belief that if something was not done soon, it would be too late, says nursery project manager Meryl Carter.
When we started researching the cost of the riparian plants, it was obvious the prices were way above the budget we had. We decided to learn to propagate plants ourselves, then we would able to donate many plants for the project.
After decades of intense agriculture and horticulture degrading the water quality, restoring the Poriti springs was a project the brothers embraced to ensure that the water quality would remain healthy.
The aquifer supplies to local horticulture and Whangarei city, and it is one of the largest ground flows from the local mountain, Whatitiri.
The family approached NorthTec with the view of hosting a horticulture course
For four generations the Adams family have farmed in the Poroti area, and realisedthat keeping the water healthy is vital for future generations.

at their family marae. This was approved and they learnt alongside others the basics of propagation and how to run a nursery.
We learnt how to help farmers plan their needs for replanting waterways, dams and effluent fields. We now provide many plant varieties and advise the number of plants required and which plant is best for which issue for our clients.
Preventing erosion and also planting for soaking up pollution before it gets to the waterways is vital to the health of our water sources. Water quality monitoring is also an important factor, which two
of the brothers, Toma and Tony, now provide. This helps keep a close check on things before they go wrong, in time to avoid disaster.
The modern nursery facility enables them to produce an ever expanding range of high quality plants, planning planting projects and revegetation, a speciality Waimarie Nurseries takes pride in.
They plant wetlands and assist in landscaping and coastal projects.
Our nursery is more than native plants, she says.
We are able to work in partnership with understanding of cultural aspects,
resource management and conservation acts to assist with advice for all.
Seeing the need for environmental education, we also became involved at ground level with a new programme for hands-on workshops, which schools and people in the community could attend.
The workshops encouraged students to explore local streams
and ecosystems, teaching students to identify habitat and biodiversity of water ecology.
These have now merged with the Whitebait Connection programme, which teaches interaction with what we do on the land and how it affects the waterways, including rivers, lakes and sea. In fact, it affects all of us.

Drought World Wide Problemby John K Morris CEO of Agrissentials
Im writing this article from Fresno, California, where we have just landed our rst container load of Rok Solid full spectrum fertiliser.
ADVERTOR IA L
Our USA project Manager is Rick Broderson, a born & bred Californian who has lived in New Zealand for the past 30 years managing his own business. Rick has a real passion for what Agrissentials are doing for farmers and their soils. Fresno is in the food bowl area of California producing meat, milk, fruit, vegetables, nuts, grapes and many other crops, but one other thing they have in common with New Zealand is the lack of rain when you need it.
Just north of Fresno is the San Luis Reservoir, a huge man made lake which provides irrigation to many farmers, but through lack of rain this winter, the lake is short of the water needed to irrigate the new season crops, so everybody here is praying for rain; their livelihoods depend upon it.
Rick & I are talking to many farmers and they all admit that over the past few years their soils have struggled to hold water, with reservoir water
coming onto their properties, not holding, but running straight off to be pumped back into the San Luis Dam all at a cost.
Agrissentials see a huge opportunity here in California, by bringing water retention quality back to the soil with our multi-mineral, microbial rich fertilisers. The answer lies between the micro organisms and a full array of natural minerals. The microorganisms are the rst creatures to dine at the mineral table converting the minerals to a plant available form. When they do this, they wrap the minerals in humus, so that the minerals dont leach from the soil. The humus produced has water retention capacity, holding both mineral and water to be passed onto the plant as required. This is the natural system and it carries the potential to regenerate top soil, increasing the carbon content or cc rating of the soil. Agrissentials recognises soil as the engine room of the farm, the more carbon An Agrissentials customer (left) showing the effects of
using Agrissentials best on earth fertilisers during the dry period
produced, the higher the cc rating of the engine room (or soil). The continued use of synthetic minerals and their high solubility is burning out the carbon content of the soil and destroying the microbial life. This results in erosion of soils (Re: Dr Morgan Williams report New Zealand Government in 2004 stating that top soils were eroding at between 300-400 million tonnes per year) straight down the rivers and into the sea.
Agrissentials can remedy this situation with their multi mineral, microbial rich fertilisers. These two ingredients work together to restore and regenerate soils, increasing mineral and water retention, soil carbon content, drainage capacity and topsoil depth, which all contribute to the cc rating of the farms engine room.
Soil, food and water are what farming is all about and it all begins in the soil. Agrissentials are offering farmers the opportunity to start a new relationship with their farm and that relationship begins in the soil. So with rules, regulations, licensing and compliance coming into farming Agrissentials offer you, the farmer, the opportunity to make a change for good, working with Mother Nature for a better, more prosperous farm and a strong future. Make a call today to Agrissentials and join the move towards better healthier, production and a bio diverse environment.

On the moveIts that time of year again when dairy farmers around the country prepare for what is known as Gypsy Week. Farms will change hands and sharemilkers will pack up their belongings and move on to their new farms.
June 1 marks the end of the 201415 season and the beginning of the 201516 season.
In rural dairying areas, roads will be busy with stock trucks and stock if farmers are shifting them to neighbouring properties.
When moving stock on the roads, farmers must hold the correct permits from local councils.
Farmers should ensure there are plenty of staff on hand to help out, wearing appropriate safety equipment such as high visibility vests and helmets if quads and bikes are used.
As a motorist, be patient around stock on the roads as tooting will excite the animals and this will prolong the exercise. It is important drivers follow farmers instructions to ensure personal safety and the wellbeing of the stock.
Planning in detail is an important part of Gypsy Week and effluent on the roads can be minimised by some simple preparation, and effluent tanks must destination about when the cattle will be
arriving. When the cows arrive at the new farm allow them to be fed and watered as well as inspect them regularly on the first day to ensure no illnesses or
injuries have occurred after the journey.Following these simple guidelines will ensure Gypsy Week goes smoothly and both animals and farmers get to their new location quickly and safely.
be empty before a long journey. Make sure cows are fit and healthy before Gypsy Week and able to stand evenly on four legs. They must also have a body condition score of at least 3.0.
Precondition stock, especially if they will be travelling a long way. Take cows off green feed for no less than four hours and leave up to 12 hours to process the feed. Feeding cows on straw, hay and baleage with access to water also helps.
Booking stock transport in advance and estimating an arrival time for when the truck will pick up the animals means the cows have time to stand off for the recommended minimum time, decreasing the amount of effluent produced.
This enables the stock to stand for the recommended time.
Check with the transport operator regarding their journey plan including effluent disposal and rest stops. Communicate with the farmer at the

Press headlines that Fonterra is facing a supplier crisis of confidence and risks haemorrhaging milk to private companies as fed-up farmer shareholders react to its latest financial results, deserves some comment.
Six Principles of Sun Tzu and the Art of Business
Loyalty can be fickle amongst farmers when they are hit directly in their financial pockets and facing a financial slump caused by low dairy returns worldwide.
New Zealand has an increasing number of proprietary dairy companies and also the Chinese are undertaking major investments in dairy processing here, in competition to Fonterra.
At a Fonterra meeting I attended in Northland, Fonterra representatives confirmed they were negotiating to supply milk to the Chinese milk factory at Pokeno and that there was nothing to stop the Chinese from building more of these plants throughout the country.
If Fonterra is required to supply these establishing companies with milk under the current legislation for a three year period, it will certainly I believe, alarm
Fonterra suppliers who see competitors using Fonterra milk to establish their businesses and then competing for Fonterra suppliers.
I believe the current legislation should be changed and these competitors should be made to stand alone from the beginning.
There are strong indications that Chinese interests are planning to buy a significant number of farms throughout Northland and elsewhere and that these farms will supply processing plants financed and built by the Chinese.
Open Country, New Zealands second largest milk processor, an independently owned company, is looking at the options of building a milk plant at their Affco Horotiu plant or expanding its Whareroa site. It is claimed over 500
Fonterra milk suppliers are waiting to join their company, due to their extreme dissatisfaction with Fonterras payout performance.
The Chinese have been traders for thousands of years. The famous Chinese military tactician Sun Tzu in 512BC wrote a book called The Art of War. The theories of his book are still widely read throughout the world today.
Many Chinese businesses and others throughout the world follow the six major principles of Sun Tzu, being capture your market without destroying it, avoid your competitors strength and attack their weakness, use foreknowledge and deception to maximise the power of business intelligence, use speed and preparation to swiftly overcome the competition, use alliances and strategic control points in the industry to shape your opponents and make them conform to your will, develop your character as a leader to maximise the potential of your employees.
Clearly they are a tenacious people. They never give up. We would do well to learn from them if we are going to
survive in a free-market open economy that invites overseas investment.
It is up to us to make sure that we dont become slaves in our own country. We must retain 100% control from the farm gate to the worlds markets.

Old oil and diesel make for good rust protection but the grubby soup doesnt really offer more than three months protection, and the mixture eats rubber bushes, dissolves neoprene seals and kills electronics within minutes, says Corrosion Control NZ Ltd, Whangarei director, Tom Muller.
CorrosionX gives lasting coatings, tested by Dulux and approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries and waterproofs expensive electronics, he adds. You can weld over it, CorrosionX simply cannot be ignited. But you can and should apply it over wet machines and it will keep them reliable. With a no-limit shelf life and a lubrication value of 0.4 it is a better lubricant than PTFE, engine oil, lanolin or grease. Mr Muller says.
It has the same classi cation as lanolin! Northpower, Silverfern Farms, NIWA, Oceanzblue, Food and Plant New Zealand, Redline, Turiwiri, Manai Farms and so many others have upgraded to CorrosionX products.
One litre costs about $80 and coats up to 1,000 square feet and it lasts for eight months on a tractor parked outside. It sprays simply faster and cheaper per square metre-per month than any of the grubby diesel/oil mixes, and it doesnt damage insulation, rubber, plexiglass or neoprene.

Kinsey Soil Fertility CourseNeal Kinsey is returning to New Zealand explaining the essentials and ner points of soil fertility.
He will be at Cambridge from 29th June to 3rd July and then in Ashburton, hosted by Golden Bay Dolomite and Kiwi Fertiliser. The starting point at Cambridge is trace elements. Many farmers soil tests do not even measure them; so they are not applied. Is it any wonder some farms frequently have costly animal health problems? There will be good advice on offer for farmers and reps involved in all types of farming and growing.
Dr Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes, stated: In my opinion, one can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to mineral de ciency. If you accept this statement, then improvements can be made in the following areas by improving fertiliser practices: Stock health; insect problems (including ticks and mites) on stock, pastures and crops; bacterial and fungal diseases; dipping, drenching and dagging regimes; fruit and vegetables that do not keep; fruit and vegetables that dont taste at all good; kauri die-back; Psa of kiwifruit; weeds including YBG; the need
to inoculate silage; or the fact that large areas of pasture have to be re-grassed each year. One test for a dairy farmer is the ef uent pond. If it is anaerobic, it will have a tendency to crust over and require constant and costly maintenance. If it is aerobic, no such problems will be observed. The pond is a re ection of the health of the rest of the property. If it is not healthy, then neither are the soil or the stock. All the above problems are related to soil fertility and can be mitigated to a greater or a lesser degree.
The course will cover all essential trace elements including silicon; plus nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, compost, carbon, calcium, magnesium, and much more. Prior to the course itself, we have the opportunity to visit properties carrying out the principles of correct soil fertility. These properties have not been on the system very long, but have already showed clear improvements. For more information go to goldenbaydolomite.co.nz or kiwifertiliser.co.nz for details and registration.

How you can save money by keeping your septic system effective and healthy
SEPTIC TANK OWNERS
Septic tanks and multi-stage septic systems are delicately balanced environments. It does not take much to upset them. Common practice is to ignore the septic system until problems occur. Good and best economical practice is to always keep your septic system well maintained.
A malfunctioning septic system can become a health hazard. When a system is not maintained or operated as a delicately balanced environment, problems occur. These problems include nasty odours, leach line blockages, untreated liquid rising to the surface, toilets gurgling and taking time to empty. At this stage your septic system is a serious health hazard to you and your children. Human waste produces faecal coliform bacteria, a source of viral and bacterial gastroenteritis as well as Hepatitis A and other diseases. Hepatitis can be a debilitating condition and cause long-term harm to children.
There are only three remedies. One: stop using the septic system until it recovers. This can take over a month and is not normally practical. Two: excavate your septic system and relocate it. This is very costly and time consuming, sometimes requiring new resource consents and different systems. Three: treat your septic system with Septi-Cure every six months.
Septi-Cure is cost effective. By far the most cost effective solution is to pour one litre of Septi-Cure down the toilet bowl every six months. This simple action will help keep your system working at top efficiency by reducing solids and scum. Instead of emptying your tank frequently, the reduction in solids and scum saves you expensive pump out costs. Your irrigation field and leach lines will become clear of slimes and blockages so nature can handle the gradual seepage and evaporation for you. When this is happening
Problematic septic tanks treat with Septi-Cure. Prevent septic system problems treat with Septi-Cure.
For Septi-Cure Call: 0800 109 202 Website: www.ecoworld.co.nz

your system will be operating effectively and not endangering you or your familys health.
What is Septi-Cure Septi-Cure is a concentrated mixture of selected naturally occurring microorganisms. These harmless tiny organisms live and multiply by feeding on waste material. When introduced to your septic tank system, they go to work straight away digesting waste material, reducing solids and scum, allowing your septic system to start operating to its maximum efficiency. As they progress through to your irrigation field they feed on the
slimes that prevent seepage and evaporation. When seepage and evaporation return to normal, you have reduced the risk of contaminating groundwater and the environment as well as reducing the chances of infection for you and your family. Eventually, they get washed out of the system and have to be replaced to continue their work. This is why you introduce Septi-Cure to your septic system every six months for maximum efficiency.
A satisfied customer in Hamilton has been using Septi-Cure for three years. He says this allows them to have an odour-free septic tank with low maintenance costs. He also says that his service person is amazed at how well Septi-Cure works, keeping their tank in very good condition.

Inventions to shine at Fieldays
The focus will be firmly on Kiwi inventiveness at the NZ National Agricultural Fieldays from June 10 to 13 at Mystery Creek.
The theme for the 2015 event near Hamilton is Growing our Capability in Agribusiness. Organisers have created the Fieldays Innovation Accelerator, described as an exciting new initiative to accelerate Kiwi inventions rise to the global stage, with newly-signed sponsor Callaghan Innovation.
We recognise that Fieldays must continue to evolve and adapt if we are to remain relevant and connected to New Zealands agri tech and agribusiness sector, says chief executive Jon Calder.
In this way, Fieldays is much more than a trade show. Our mission is to advance agriculture.
The technology and innovation that Fieldays showcases and supports through our innovation ecosystem are products, concepts and thinking that will continue to ensure New Zealand remains a leading agribusiness nation globally. Collaboration is critical to ensuring
efficiency and effectiveness, and the stable of partners we have assembled to drive innovation is formidable. Its fantastic to have Callaghan Innovation on board as a partner.
Callaghan Innovations Dr Richard Templer, says the government business innovation agency sees that many of New Zealands technology exporting successes have their roots in the agricultural sector, and agri-tech continues to be a hotbed of innovation in the New Zealand economy.
Callaghan Innovations job is to help companies that aspire to succeed through technology by helping them with innovation advice, product development support and research and development funding.
Exhibiting in Fieldays Innovation Accelerator is a one-off opportunity after that, companies must exhibit in the main area.

Auckland drivers need tyres that work in the traffic, farmers need tyres that just work.
Choosing the right tyre saves you money:Dont settle for original tyres that are
designed for concrete roads. Farmers tackling rural terrain need a tough tyre that offers more traction, better handling and increased puncture resistance.
When purchasing a new set of tyres ask for: Deeper treads for more traction and
increased value for money.
Stronger tyres that carry higher loads and offer increased puncture resistance.
Mickey Thompson Tires have been making tyres in the USA for more than 50 years. If you want a tyre that stands up to everything you can throw at it then choose a Mickey Thompson tyre.
Mickey Thompsons have: Deeper tread depths, multiple
patterns for every application, self cleaning designs and a bigger footprint for traction if you get punctures, then mickey Thompson Tires have stronger casings and wider steel belts for increased puncture resistance.
The first advantage most drivers mention after replacing the original tyres to Mickey Thompson Tires is the noticeable improvement in handling.

New hope for long term back pain sufferersAfter nearly eight years in New Zealand, Inversion Therapy has now gained a reputation for success with long-term sufferers of back pain.
Inversion New Zealand was started eight years ago by Dave and Nancy Hare. Dave had suffered over twenty years of back pain from Degenerated Discs and had basically given up and decided to just live with it.
To me surgery was never an option, he said, as long as I still could walk, there was hope.
Dave tried everything; every time he was overseas he would search for anything that could possibly help.
While on one of these overseas trips eight years ago, Dave discovered the Teeter Hang-Ups. The rst time I tried it, the pain disappeared and I was completely pain free for about 30 minutes, nothing had done that, he said.
Dave never believed it would x him, as specialists had told me it was irreversible, I now knew I had a place to go every time I wanted some serious relief.
To Daves surprise the more he used the table the longer the pain stayed away, until after nearly three months he was completely pain free.
I couldnt believe it, Dave said. I had spent large amounts of money on every form of treatment available and here was something I had never heard of sorting it out for me in a very short period of time.
It was then Dave decided to introduce Teeter into New Zealand and Inversion NZ was born.
Over the years INZ have helped thousands of people get some serious relief and have seen results in not only backs, but necks, hips, knees, posture, circulation, increased height, blood pressure and lots more.
We have testimonials from people with over fty years of back problems and even have them in a number of schools in New Zealand for their special needs children, said Dave. The blood to the brain helps these kids and the results are excellent.
What this means for the aging population is that it maintains the health of the brain as we all get older. INZ now have a division putting them into industry as back pain costs companies a considerable amount of lost production.

Both Dave and Nancy will be attending the show. Dave told me that he realised that, had he not tried the Teeter for himself he would still be suffering, I would still be a miserable grumpy bugger, living with pain, that is why we do the shows, people need to try it for themselves.
Most people actually get off with the pain either gone or considerably less, he said. We let the tables do the talking.
Come along to one of our shows for a treatment, if you have completely resigned yourself to having back or neck pain for the rest of your life, the chances are you will be pleasantly surprised.

New site for RECHARGE Battery Conditioner at the Fieldays
ADVERTOR IA L
After 15 years on site K-19 right outside the main pavilion, which wasnt even there when we started selling off that site, we have been forced to move to the other side of the pavilion to a new site K-25, says Gerard Anselmi of RECHARGE Battery Revitalizer and Conditioner.
Sulphation is a major problem with lead-acid batteries and the less theyre used the worse it is. All batteries sulphate you buy them with sulphation and they only get worse till they die.
A RECHARGE treatment will dissolve those sulphur ions back into the electrolyte to hold the charge again. The battery regains its capacity and stops corrosion of lead plates.
A lot of farmers in our RECHARGE Conditioning Programme are getting eight to ten years from most batteries and some are getting a heck of a lot more by simply dosing them early, treating them every two to three years and keeping them charged.
Yes you can treat sealed batteries simply by drilling into each cell treating and re-sealing with silicone,
sika ex or a plastic bung. Recharge is also great for deep cycle batteries like forklifts, golf carts, scissor hoists and lighting system batteries.
Recharge is available from Farmlands and Auto-One stores and will also be
featured at the National Fieldays at Mystery Creek in June at the new site K-25.

Foreword for Homeopathic Handbook for Dairy Farming, 3rd Edition, Revised and Expanded January 2015
It has been 13 years since I wrote the foreword to the 2nd edition and 18 since I wrote the rst one for this practical and useful resource.
This new edition is choc-a-block and enriched extensively due to the thousands of interactions between Homeopathic Farm Support (HFS) and its clients for nearly two decades.
It is generally wise to question the process of reinventing the wheel, unless you can improve upon the basic design. In this instance, I would compare the 1st edition to the original Ford Model T that was revolutionary in its day and remains a classic but does not compare to Fords latest models in terms of speed, ef ciency,
ADVERTOR IA L
It is informed by effective responses to seasonal challenges and constitutional pre-dispositions in dairy herds (and dry stock too) by using homeopathy and herbal preparations. This edition
bells and whistles etc. This new edition shows continuity with its heritage but is so enhanced and packed with new innovations and improved formatting as to be nearly unrecognisable from its rst model.
Question: Whats New in the 3rd Edition? Answer: Heaps.
The 3rd edition is packed with references to over 50 more animal preparations in the Materia Medica (alphabetical listing of medical materials used in dairy homeopathy); 40 additions to the Animal Ailments section; a new and revised Quick Reference and an all-new-stand-alone-yet-complementary-to the main book, section for owners of dry stock and steers, Maintenance Guidelines for Dry Stock.
These new and expanded materials are included because they have come out of the experience of Tineke Verkade, her dedicated staff and their thousands of clients around New Zealand who have been using homeopathic and herbal products to tackle acute health issues on conventional, bio-dynamic and organic farms.
includes suggested solutions for speci c current issues such as Thelleria ticks and environmental stresses such as Alligator weed and Kikuya as well as Liver uke (Fasciola) and a nosode made from the bacteria that causes woody tongue (Acintonysis).
It also gives indications for great maintenance tools developed and like its predecessors will become a well thumbed and valued reference.
Tineke is to be commended for the continuity of care that she provides for her patients and clients.
Tineke and her knowledgeable, long serving HFS staff have been providing support to farmers and their animals since 1997.
Thousands of happy clients and tens of thousands of successful outcomes are the result of the careful and attentive service of Tineke and HFS .
So I commend Tineke, the HFS staff, and this great resource book to those who love and care for cows and cattle too.

Ask questions and avoid dairy refrigeration delays
Dairy companies are beginning to look at how they will move their suppliers towards taking the steps necessary to comply with pending NZCP1 milk cooling changes.
Currently new sheds, significant upgrades and regular non-compliers will be required to meet the new proposed milk cooling standards by June 2016. All other farmers have a grace period until January 2018.
Its expected many farmers will delay managing dairy refrigeration issues until the latest possible time. The result will be bottlenecks around the manufacture, delivery and service. The industry is predicting demand peaking during the off-seasons over the next three years.
Whether or not your pre-cooling and refrigeration has been factored into the current seasons farm budget, a lot can be done now to prepare and avoid unnecessary costs or getting caught up in delays of equipment, installation or service.
Start with asking a few questions around the technology available and
the refrigeration companies in the marketplace.
Check out the technology on offer. Where is this technology coming from? If the technology is not manufactured in New Zealand, then are parts stored locally rather than at an overseas location? Is this technology a one-off? Can and do other companies support it?
Check out the refrigeration companies. Meeting the temperature standards will not always mean buying more refrigeration and different farms and sites. When finding the best solution for any farm a number of factors come into play: site constraints, herd size, flow rate, water source, power reliability
and variable costs. Different farms will require different solutions so are you dealing with a company that can give reliable advice? Breakdowns dont always happen during weekdays 9am5pm. Are you dealing with a company that can give you assistance for support and parts and when you need it?
