Field Events Coming Up

Levin Field Walk

In conjunction with Potatoes NZ, we have a field event in Levin on Wednesday 27 February. The content will be of interest to all growers and supporters – it’s not just potato topics. Of note will be discussion about the Teralytic probes that have been installed. Plant & Food will demonstrate the Nitrate Quick Test. We’ll be updating people on the Future Proofing Vegetable Production project (co-funded by Horizons Regional Council, Potatoes NZ, Gisborne District Council, Ballance AgriNutrients and LandWISE).
