Calling the event ‘Open to Change’, the organisers expect to attract 250 farmers and rural professionals.
BDO Taranaki’s Sheree Hastie says the event will include “worthwhile seminars, networking and farming stalls”.
World champion rower Hamish Bond will be a guest speaker to wind up the event.
Hastie says BDO Taranaki is proud to continue backing the farming community.
“This day is being held primarily to give farmers access to information that will assist, motivate and inspire them in bouncing back from hard times.
“Holding the event in Stratford makes it accessible for most Taranaki farmers. Our aim is to attract 250 or more farmers and professionals and the day will include all seminars, lunch, coffee, drinks and most importantly gather farmers together.”
Speakers will include LIC general manager NZ markets Malcolm Ellis, who will speak on the changing face of farm ownership and what drives farming gains.
The chief executive of Drone Technologies, Ben Plummer, will talk about technology on the farm. Adam Duker, DairyNZ, will talk about nutrient management.
