The Post - April 2023

Welcome to the April edition of The Post where we focus on fencing in New Zealand. We visited five contractors from different regions in the North and South Island who showcased various fencing tips that you can learn and practice on your property or in your workplace.

New Zealand Young Farmers (NZYF) is an important not-for-profit organisation that helps young members of the rural community connect with one another and grow as future leaders. NZYF has over 2,000 members and holds different events across the country in which its members can participate.

Fencing Contractors Association New Zealand (FCANZ) is another dedicated collective, made up of fencing contractors and founding strategic partner WIREMARK. Their goal is to uphold fencing as a registered profession, promote a high level of workmanship and act as a knowledge hub for fencers.

It’s been a testing time for the farming community affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. Goldpine is right alongside you, providing support where we can. To see what we’re doing, or to donate to those affected by the flooding, go to page 32.

Farmstrong, with the help of their ambassador Sam Whitelock, shares an article on how to support each other during challenging times and provides vital tools and resources on their website for people who want further insights.

Instead of our usual State of the Industry article, this month we focus on the fencing industry in New Zealand and get insights from a few fencing contractors on how the profession is progressing.

We intend to continue supplying you with the best stories, activities and techniques in agriculture. If you have anything that you would like us to share, please get in touch.
