Ever Better: Farmers, land and water

Awapuni Function Centre, Palmerston North. 21-22 May 2014

Just two days to go to LandWISE 2014! The final programme and some tasters of individual presentations are on the website.

In a change to previous years, our “outdoor session” on Day 2 includes a bus tour of a small catchment with intensive land use – vegetable cropping and dairy farming – and a regionally significant lake. This will be in the middle of the day, with buses returning to the conference venue for the final afternoon presentations and panel discussion.

We have a focus on farm plans to avoid or minimise off-farm impacts, especially from sediments and nutrients. This is a critical issue now, and farmers need to understand how new expectations may affect their day to day activities.

Many thanks to our Conference Sponsors and the many speakers and others who bring you this opportunity. We especially thank our Platinum Sponsors, BASF Crop Protection, AGMARDT and John Deere.

Please pass this message on to your friends and colleagues you believe would gain benefit from attending.
