New Zealand farmers get their first opportunity to experience the future of pasture-based dairy automation in action this week at the National Fieldays.

Dairy farmers are set to benefit from the radical sweeping changes the Government is planning to make to the regulations that form part of the Resource Management Act (RMA).

The reported surge in interest in dairy conversions should be put into the context of falling overall cow numbers and improving environmental performance, says DairyNZ.

New Zealand's top trade official has told dairy farmers that their sector faces the most trade barriers internationally.

Waikato sharemilker Matthew Zonderop had no inkling that one day he would become a matchmaker for cows.

The coveted post of Federated Farmers' national dairy chair will see a two-way contest at the Federated Farmers annual meeting later this month.

Research lending to the production of dairy products that benefit the elderly and improves the overall wellbeing of all people is a key focus of Fonterra's Research and Development centre, based in Palmerston North.

Milk processors are either matching or beating Fonterra's record $10/kgMS opening forecast milk price as the 2025-26 season gets underway.

Young Waikato farmer Carla de Wet has a message for the Government - change KiwiSaver rules to help young farmers get a foot on the property ladder, sooner rather than later.

OPINION: One thing I keep hearing from rural New Zealanders is the importance of relationships. Strong relationships don’t just happen - they take trust, consistency, and time.
