More hands-on supportfor rural communities

Dr Jonathan Coleman said more people will be trained to support farming families.

Close to 100 additional people will be trained to help farming families access required support nationwide according to Health Minister Jonathan Coleman and Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy.

The commitment is the first part of the one-off $500,000 funding boost for mental health initiatives targeted at rural communities.

Dr Coleman said they recognise that some farmers are under considerable stress.

“The physical isolation as well as the uncertainties of being reliant on the land creates different pressures to those living in an urban setting.

That’s why the Ministry of Health and Primary Industries have come together, with the support of the sector, to develop a work programme with local components linked to national coordination,” he said.

In collaboration with Dairy NZ and Beef + Lamb NZ, these additional support people will be trained to work for Rural Support Trusts, providing guidance and support to farmers around the country.

They will be able to recognise and refer those who need support.

Mr Guy said trained part-time workers and volunteers will help connect farming families with the wide variety of mental health, financial and advice services already available.

“In addition, rural professionals including vets and farm advisors will be trained to recognise and refer. “

This expanded workforce support network has just started operating in the Waikato and more trained

rural supporters will be working in communities by the end of September.”

Information support packs have also been mailed out today to farming leaders and organisations.

These include the MPI brochure ‘Managing through tough times’, and financial tips and advice provided by the New Zealand Bankers Association.

Work on the joint one-off $500,000 funding boost package continues with further details expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Dr Jonathan Coleman said more people will be trained to support farming families

Regional disaster relief funds still availableby Denise Gunn

The application date for people seeking financial assistance for welfare needs from the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Disaster Relief Fund Trust has been extended.

The trust fund, which was first set up following the 2004 floods, is designed to meet the needs of those adversely affected by a disaster event. It was reactivated in response to the June 20-21 floods. Although the welfare of families and individuals are the main focus of the trust, assistance with the restoration of community assets and support for small businesses may also be available.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the welfare unit of their local council for assistance with the application process. The needs of applicants will be assessed and the funding request will be forwarded to the regional trust.

Trustees of the fund are representatives from all local authorities in the region and they distribute donations to local authority and community trusts and organisations.

The first round of funding closed on July 24. The closing date for applications for the next round is August 31.

Donations can still be made into the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Disaster Relief Fund Trust, through account number 03 0728 0411355 00. Mayoral relief funds activated in the Manawatu,

Rangitikei and Whanganui districts are also assisting people who have suffered damage or loss to their properties due to the June floods.

Federated Farmers and the Rural Support Network are continuing to

coordinate assistance for rural property owners as well. The June flooding was the largest to hit the Horizons region since February 2004. Although the

flooding wasn’t as widespread as the 2004 floods, the worst affected areas were close to the same extent in comparison.

The Clarke’s were grazing a mixed bunch of beef cattle on a small lifestyle block before making a

decision to look at pure breeds.“We decided we should look at

quality rather than quantity and wanted a breed which was hornless, had good temperament, and a breed of cattle we

could get involved with,” said Trevor.Trevor and Sue also needed an

easy-care cattle breed to fit around their commitments.

Murray Grey cattle, exhibited by a local breeder at the Horowhenua Show, caught their eye. When a stud dispersal sale in Masterton came up, Trevor and

Sue bought their first Murray Greys. They also settled on their stud name — Yorkvale.

“We started off with B and C grades — 50 percent and 75 percent Murray Greys — the remaining percentage being pure Angus.”

AI was used over the new arrivals for the first few years. As mainly bull calves were produced, the couple leased a bull in an attempt to change these odds. This was followed up every three or four years through bringing in a new bull, usually bred from Australian bloodlines.

“Some of our families are now eight generations from our foundation dams,” said Sue.

Over a period of ten years the couple’s herd had upgraded to purebreds.

When the Clarke’s first purebreds were born, they began showing their cattle throughout the lower North Island. They’ve also entered several Steak of Origin competitions, making it through to the semi-finalists groups on a couple of occasions.

The couple now own a 25 hectare property, lease more land nearby, and calve close to 30 cows annually.

Around half the weaner heifers are kept through to R2 to enable them to be scanned for eye muscle and intramuscular fat at 18 months. Surplus females are sold as in-calf or empties to works. Weaner bulls are run through to 14 months and sold as service bulls to dairy farmers. Stock are generally sold through word of mouth, contacts made at shows and the Murray Grey Society’s registered on-line annual sale.

“We sell service bulls through agents and via contacts we have made over the years who come back for repeat purchases,” said Sue.

The Clarke’s use Breedplan. Estimated Breeding Value’s (EBV) for all recorded and registered Murray Grey cattle worldwide can be compared in this system and animals selected which conform to the desired trait for improvement. The couple have had

a long involvement with the Murray Grey Society. Trevor presently holds the vice-chairman’s position, and also represents Murray Grey on various beef breed groups. They both belong to the local breeders club where Sue is the current secretary.

Sue is also heavily involved in various administrative and promotional activities for the Murray Grey Society, royal shows, and Beef Expo stands.

We’re here for the good of the country.

At FMG, we offer all sorts of good advice to rural New Zealanders. But the best piece of advice we could give you at this time of year is to get smoke alarms in your home. And if you’ve already got them, make sure they’re working. We see too many homes unnecessarily damaged or destroyed every year by fire. For more advice on fire risks and prevention, go to www.fmg.co.nz/sparkworld

Lindsay had been involved with the sport for many years before Wendy met him. After the couple

married, had two daughters, and moved to take up a management position on a 600ha sheep and beef farm near Levin, dog trials took a backseat for awhile.

“Our girls were riding ponies and joined the local pony club, so the trials were put aside for the next seven years,” said Wendy. When their daughters gave up riding, Lindsay renewed his involvement in dog trialling.

Wendy also expressed an interest in taking up the sport.

“I thought I would give it a go too, in 1992, with a bitch called Cass.”

Lindsay was her first instructor, teaching Wendy the basic skills required. Not long afterwards, renowned dog triallist Peter Boyce took her under his wing to teach the finer points in training dogs.

“There’s a lot to learn,” said Wendy.Lindsay and Wendy become actively

involved in the local dog trials, joining the Aokautere/Linton Club — later renamed the Kapiti/West Coast Club. Fifteen years later they joined the Wanganui/Feilding Club. When Wendy first began participating in dog trials, she was one of just a handful of women involved in the sport in New Zealand.Now there are close to 30 women competing.

A lifelong love for animals led Horowhenua farmer Wendy Schimdt to take up dog trialling — a sport she shares with her husband Lindsay.

IT’S ARRIVED!

As a competitor and a judge, Wendy is well versed in the challenges associated with dog trials.

If Wendy and Lindsay find dogs are not capable of the standard required for trialling, they sell them as good working dogs.

The couple prefer calm, good-natured dogs with a willingness to work.

“Putting the finer touches on a dog can be difficult depending on the dog,” she said.

“They are all different as we are — all have their own personalities.”

Two of Wendy’s dogs, Mac and Rose, stand out as personal favourites.

Mac, a heading dog, was the second dog Wendy trained from a pup, and she had a lot of success with him in dog trials. He won the short head and yard at Masterton on four occasions.

“I was also in the top seven at the North Island Champs at Mangamingi with him in the yarding event in 2000, along with my other favourite, Rose.”

Rose, a Huntaway, was in the top seven in the straight hunt.

“As far as I know, I am the only woman who has ever been in an island championship run-off with two dogs.”

Rose went on to compete in the New Zealand Championships in Gisborne the following year, and in the North Island Championships in 2002.

“They had winnings at centre champs level and they had numerous other wins,” said Wendy.

“Rose was the top-scoring Huntaway in the Wairarapa/Southern Hawke’s Bay centre in 2001. There is a lot to learn and now we have people coming here

to learn the fundamentals of training.” Wendy is currently working five main dogs, and has a few younger ones coming along.

“It is most rewarding is to have a litter of pups, pick one out and carry that pup through all the training, and have a really good farm dog and trial dog at the end of it.”

She considers selecting the right parents when breeding a litter plays an important part in the nature of the puppies.

Wendy has now taken her sport a step further, creating a new hobby making safety slip collars and dog trials sticks.

“The main aspect of these collars is that they don’t go hard or swell when they get dirty or wet,” she said. Her interest in making dog trial sticks began while she was repairing an old one. Using prunings from pear orchards, and branches from the bush and gardens, Wendy is now crafting her own unique sticks. “It was all trial and error for a start.”

Sourcing suitable material has been the biggest challenge, followed by buying the machinery.

Trying to keep costs down is also difficult due to cheap import products which are similar but not as good quality.

“I really only make enough to cover costs, but I do enjoy it,” she said. Wendy also makes clocks and barometer wall hangers out of Rimu. A few years ago, she designed and crafted trophies for dog trial championships held in Masterton.

“I still call it my hobby as there is no pressure in getting things made.”

The couple are currently renovating a large house on a lifestyle block near Feilding.

With plans to retire there, they’ve ensured there’s plenty of space to continue dog breeding and training for dog trials.

Blueprint to handover19.55mm

When everything is newYou have the section and now it is time to build your home — a milestone in anyone’s life.

But where do you start? Once you have your architects or building company lined up, the first step is a blueprint. A plan on paper, or more likely than not in today’s world, on a computer screen.

Now, with the fast-paced world we live in, people are getting used to the convenience of digital formats, allowing them to be quickly delivered by email. These house plans will usually concentrate on the architecture and the building itself and will not usually specify interior finishes. Part of the fun of building a new home is choosing those finishes, hardware and appliances. The floor plan is probably your greatest planning tool and includes most of the critical dimensions and specs needed to build the home.

They act as a kind of road map of your home, showing how the different spaces relate to each other. Many plans will include the electrical elements — lights and plugs etc.

An overhead look at cabinets, plumbing and appliances can be provided here, helping you in turn to plan furnishings and colours.

When you are heading into a new home, it’s important to spread the word. Be sure to file change of address forms with the post office and notify your insurance company. Look into getting

electricity, internet and gas hooked up if it isn’t already so you know who your providers are.

If your new house is not already equipped with a security system, you may want to consider setting one up.

This is the time to make sure you know where the electrical circuit breakers, water cutoff valves and other key aspects of your home are located and how to operate them.

So then it is time for the final touches, the drapes, and carpets and the furniture.

Often a new home means new appliances and furniture, and a new start. After the final builder’s handover, you’ll have a new set of keys and a new life to live.

Of course it doesn’t end there. While under construction you dwelling place will have occupied all your attention. Once inside, there’s the matter of the outside area, perhaps a garden, a patio, a pergola.

The list of ongoing jobs will no doubt keep the wonder alive for some time to come.

If your property needs a refresh or a completely new landscape design ensure you have a plan in mind. It is important to consider exactly what you wish to achieve.

If you have never designed a garden before it may become overwhelming with the choices available so make a list of the things you want and need. Would you like a vegetable garden or an outdoor play area for your children? Is a deck needed for social occasions or a spa pool area, an art studio or man cave?

Draw a map of the property and the places you plan things to be. Where would the trees go, what coloured flowers or plants do you like? Maybe use coloured pencils to show the array of colour.

Are there extra windy areas which may need more shelter trees planted and take notes of where the property gets

the most sun and where it is throughout the day. Consider a focal point to work around such as sculptures, a blossom tree, a native plant section which attracts birds or a fish pond. Garden centres can help with choices and advise on the different climates and what works well where and which plants work best for each situation or they can recommend designers to work with you.

If you decide to work with a landscape architect or designer they can consult and look at the plan you have drawn and will get an understanding of the direction you would like the garden or yard to go in and they can advise further. Ensure they know your likes and dislikes

and get a clear understanding of your budget. They can give estimates of costs for each stage of development or the project as a whole.

Landscaping can add great value to a property, however be careful of overspending and remember all gardens need maintenance to keep looking good.

New product! ET250 Fertiliser with pest deterrentby John K Morris CEO of Agrissentials

ET250 is a new-age BioGro certi� ed liquid spray designed to deter pests and disease. In the realm of nature, pest and disease are part of Mother Nature’s plan to keep plants healthy.

When plants become sick, they resonate at a frequency that attracts pest and disease, who basically take a plant out, so that it does not propagate and weaken the species.

With all the chemicals we have used over the last 50 years, we have reached a point where pest and disease have become immune to the chemical sprays, indicating that nature is stronger than chemicals. At Agrissentials we understand the nature of pest and disease and the job they do. To us there is no point in trying to eradicate pest and disease as they are part and parcel of the natural system.

The ultimate answer to pest and disease problems is to get your plants on a multi-mineral, microbial rich diet and I know a fertiliser company that supplies exactly that. With a full array of

minerals the plant will become healthy and resonate at a frequency that pest and disease are not interested in. The main minerals here are the trace elements, which are the building blocks of the plant’s immune system, minerals such as iron, manganese, boron, copper, zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium and chromium all essential for plant health. As Rachel Hunter once stated “it won’t happen overnight but it will happen”, so Agrissentials have produced this amazing BioGro certified, completely natural pest repellent to keep the vines, orchards and pastures pest free while the plants are strengthening up their immune systems.

The chemical age we have come through has not done life, in general, any favours. In actual fact it has not only caused health problems to plants,

ADVERTOR IA L

animals and people, but has been unable to control pest, diseases and weed problems. The basic reason why chemicals have not been able to control pest, disease and weed problems is that these three natural control agents are part and parcel of nature’s checks and balances ensuring that life continues on. In reality pest, disease and weed problems indicate mineral deficiency; correct the mineral deficiency and health will ensue.

Through the use of synthetic fertilisers and chemical sprays we have demineralised and destroyed the water retention quality of our soils, which in turn has put pressure on our farmers and our environment. The sooner we leave the chemical age and begin working with mother nature and looking after the free capital she provides like soil, atmospheric minerals, water, sunlight, health and vitality, the easier farming will become.

So, while you transit away from chemicals and begin working alongside Mother Nature, Agrissentials can help you through that period with our multi mineral microbial rich fertilisers, restoring and remineralising your top soil for better health, better food, better

production, a better farm and a better environment. If you’re having trouble with pest and disease, don’t forget to check out our ET250, a great natural pest repellent, BioGro certified, with no harmful effects. Agrissentials — working with farmers and Mother Nature, for a better, healthier planet. Call now and get a free info pack covering all our products, which will cover all your problems.

Time to ask the hard questionsFonterra dairy suppliers will this month be scratching their heads over their bank statements, working out how to make ends meet, if at all, in the wake of plunging returns.

Without a doubt, recent prices and also those forecast over the coming months are a crisis for many farmers.

The declining value of dairy products on world markets have spooked the banks and their farmer clients. Fonterra’s loan scheme may go some way to help, but we are a long way from the returns of yesteryear.

With November to January forecast at an initial $2.75, the average New Zealand dairy farmer will face a financial operating loss from dairy returns in excess of $200,000.

NZX dairy futures price predictions that milk powder will decline even further to US$1,570 a tonne, is well short of the US$3,500 a tonne required for Fonterra to meet its current $5.25 per kilo milk solids forecast.

Dairy farmers now face the prospect of receiving the lowest payout since the 2002–2003 season’s $3.63 return. Fonterra’s seemingly belated

announcement in recent weeks that it has now engaged consultants to look at its core business, and that there will be 500 staff redundancies, will be viewed by many as an action taken too late and insignificant with the company employing in excess of 18,000 people.

Fonterra dairy farmers need to stop being friendly, co-operative members and start becoming hard-nosed, demanding shareholders, speaking out and asking the hard questions.

Does the Global Dairy Trade auction system set up by Fonterra really maximise the price for our dairy products? No doubt there will be screams of affirmative from the industry but is it simply a cost effective way of easy selling?

Marketing is about producing a product the customer wants and optimising the price you receive. Apple are one of the best marketers of our time. They

Be my Guest Bill Guest Farmers of New ZealandMembership Services: 09 439 5219 • 09 430 3758www.farmersofnewzealand.comEmail: [email protected]

produce a great functioning but well designed product that customers want and they can command a significant premium against their competitors.

I doubt if Apple would contemplate ever auctioning off their products to determine the market price. In fact, they manage their own price in the market and aggressively protect its value.

If we are to really achieve an added value for our supposedly clean green safe dairy products how can we capture a premium when we dump thousands of tonnes, along with everybody else’s, on the auction floor for the customers to set the price. How do we develop strong relationships with our customers and build customer loyalty when we treat them all the same in the auction room?

How do we ultimately build added value if we continue to use the crude auction process?

This country for decades has talked about added value and done the actual opposite. The consultancy company, McKinsey, that originally promoted the

mega merger resulting in Fonterra, has now been appointed to review Fonterra’s performance.

Well Fonterra has not got even close to delivering what was originally proposed and the company’s soft underbelly has certainly been exposed with the slump in prices.

The fact that they have to employ consultants to decide where they are going wrong says bucket loads about the effectiveness of both the management and the board.

It’s unlikely any of the top brass will fall on their sword leaving the pain and hurt of their lack of skill to the lower echelons of Fonterra and their farmer suppliers.

The board’s chairman and other directors are up for re-election at the forthcoming annual general meeting. History has shown that when company shareholders lose confidence and morale is low, it normally results in the non re-election of the chairman and directors.

How to better the bestby Andy Bryenton

The designers of the new Ford Ranger ute must have faced a daunting task when they sat down at the drawing board to begin work on their latest creation.

“When we set out to improve upon the Ford Ranger, we knew we had our work cut out for us: The current Ranger is one of the toughest, most capable trucks out there,” said Richard Tilley, vehicle line director, Ford Asia Pacific. “But thanks to our proud truck heritage and global expertise in the utility segment, we’ve made what was great even better, with a bold new look, improved efficiency and a new level of refinement.”

Luckily, Ford have some historical precedents to draw on. They have,

in the past, bettered the knockout achievements of the Model T, GT40, and Mustang, bringing brand new ideas and technology to the game in the process. And while the 2016 Ranger does not redefine the ute market — as 2011’s game-changer arguably did forever — there’s a checklist of reasons to take a close look at this highly anticipated machine.

A selection of powerplants under the hood is flagshipped by the globally proven 5 cylinder Duratorq TDCI, boasting an 18 percent boost in fuel economy and lower emissions. This mill churns out 147kw of power, and 470 NM of torque, allowing the new Ranger to work and play harder than its predecessor. A super efficient 2.2 litre variant and a 2.5 litre Duratec petrol engine are also options.

But it’s in the field of added extras that the Ranger truly shines. A vast suite of driver assists lead out with hill launch and hill descent control, adaptive

cruise control, lane assist and even a tyre pressure monitor. The addition of Ford’s revolutionary SYNC II system puts

a suite of electronics at voice command as well as at the driver’s fingertips, and both families with kids and workmen on the move will appreciate the incorporated 240 volt socket, which can accommodate laptop chargers and even small power tools.

Last, but by no means least, the Ranger has improved design, both in aesthetics — looking tough and angular — and in off-road practicality. The new ute can wade through 80cm of water, and boasts generous approach and departure angles, all while loaded up with a tray full of gear.

It’s a winning combo, incrementally building on the strengths of the 2011 Ranger and its legacy for a new generation.

Crossover king all grown upby Andy Bryenton

The original iteration of Subaru’s go-anywhere Forester somewhat defied description. Neither a conventional sports utility, nor a standard station wagon of its day, the boxy and voluminous vehicle became a favourite for two markets.

Even today, you’ll see Foresters of that first run in either off-road spec, carrying kayaks and mountain bikes, or with gaudy 20 inch chrome rims, tinted windows and a vast sound system.

In a way, Subaru were ahead of the curve. This was a time before the term ‘crossover SUV’ existed, but the Forester filled the niche nicely, and as a model it has grown into the space with an almost organic evolution. The 2015 Forester looks nothing like its ancestors, but that sense of rugged, up-for-it attitude shines through, even in a sector now bursting at the seams with rivals and imitators.

Some of that charm comes from its looks — this is no shrunken SUV, but stylistically appears to be more of a big, muscular wagon.

It’s certainly slick, machine-gun quick six speed auto, and the Forester presents a package that’s hard to ignore if you are in the market for a lifestyle machine. Even the simple, somewhat austere lines and colours inside the cabin speak more of utility — and being easy to clean — than lacklustre build quality.

The 2015 Forester has come a long way from its square and boxy origins to become a consummate crossover

Like the WRX Subarus of old, this is no luxury yacht, and it wears its intention to tackle trails and spearhead adventure holidays proudly.

Hopefully the 2015 Forester is put to its intended use by its buyers, because it is above all a supremely competent

machine. It would be a shame to see all that engineering wasted making this generation, like many of the first Foresters, into mobile discos crawling through Kiwi suburbia.

This one needs open space to really shine.

Knowing the good, bad and uglyDairy farmers are calling for industry to be straight up with them about the impact of fluctuating global milk powder prices to the sector and to their forecast payout.

They want early warning signals and are demanding more reliable information; information which is direct and not dressed up. They want clarity. Why? Because good clear timely information allows people to act with some level of certainty about present and future conditions. It gives a clearer line of sight.

Note though, it is not always easy to be the messenger particularly when the implications are far reaching for the sector. One organisation that has stepped up to tackle a difficult problem head on is the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA). They’ve put out a bold rallying cry for New Zealand Inc to be non-reliant on antibiotics for the treatment and well-being of animals by

2030. Why? Because the World Health Organisation predicts that antibiotic resistance, in both human and animal populations, will lead to the greatest health crisis of the 21 Century. NZVA’s announcement may not be warmly embraced by all parties. Nevertheless it is 100% the right thing to do. Naming the problem and the goal, is the first step in addressing one and achieving the other.

For NZ Inc to be substantially non-reliant on antibiotics in 15 years’ time will require a mindset change in the industry and a more measured, managed and preventative focus for animal health and welfare across the farming sector. While there are very good guidelines in New Zealand around

In the shed with Megan Fowlie

prescribing, growing antibiotic resistance has implications for farmers, breeders, vets, pharmaceutical companies, technology manufacturers and others. In the end, concerted effort towards this goal will help strengthen the resilience

of our animals and our economy. So, next time your vet is on farm, talk to them about what is happening in the antibiotics space, why they do what they do and options for prevention and good practice.
