Join us at Pamu’s Rangitaiki Station for an inspiring and practical field day focused on how technology is driving – and supporting – real system change in farming.

We will explore how forward-thinking farmers can use proven science and cutting-edge tools to build more resilient, profitable, and sustainable farming systems. With James Van Bohemen, Rangitaiki Manager, we’ll take a deep dive into the station’s recent system change—what prompted it, the challenges encountered, the technology and thinking behind the transition, and the lessons learned along the way.

Whether you’re exploring new pasture options, interested in ag-tech solutions, or considering changes within your own system, this Field Day will offer valuable insights, open discussion, and real-world examples. Join like-minded farmers and rural professionals and be part of the conversation shaping the future of farming.

Speakers
