Cyclone Gabrielle caused significant damage to farming communities on New Zealand’s east coast, with many still dealing with the aftermath.

Federated Farmers has a strong track record of uniting volunteers and providing assistance to rural communities during times of crisis. Alongside Case IH and New Holland, Hawke’s Bay dealer Stevenson and Taylor will provide essential post drivers to ensure efficient and effective fence installations and repairs.
The “Re-Fence” initiative is aimed at restoring critical infrastructure, allowing affected farmers to resume their agricultural activities and rebuild their lives. To support the materials required for the fencing reconstruction, a dedicated Givealittle page has been set up to allow individuals, businesses, and organisations to contribute and make a meaningful impact on recovery efforts by providing much-needed resources.
At the end of the fivemonth initiative, Case IH and New Holland say they will demonstrate their commitment to the farming communities by gifting the two tractors to two peer nominated farmers in the most heavily affected areas.
“We are deeply moved by the challenges faced by the farmers affected by Cyclone Gabriele,” said Aaron Bett, Case IH ANZ general manager. “By donating our tractors and actively participating in the Re-Fence initiative, we aim to assist the farmers in rebuilding their fencing infrastructure and restoring their farms.”
Bruce Healy, NHH Agriculture ANZ general manager, says New Holland has always been committed to supporting farmers in times of need.
“We recognise the vital role that fencing plays in protecting livestock and securing farmland. Through our donation of tractors, we hope to contribute to the recovery efforts and support the farmers as they rebuild their lives.”
Contributions to the Commence the Re-Fence Givealittle page, whether financial or in-kind, will make a significant difference in rebuilding the fencing infrastructure and helping farmers reclaim their livelihoods.
