Why wine has its head in the clouds Amazon Web Services cloud tech brings new boost to wine industry.

The wine industry is undergoing a digital transformation driven by cloud technology – as seen in the partnership between New Zealand’s largest producer of high-quality wine, Indevin Group, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The benefits were particularly evident during recent record harvests, enhancing the quality and efficiency of Indevin’s operations, thanks to the collaboration with AWS. The relationship shows how technology can empower winemakers to adapt to evolving challenges while maintaining the integrity of their craft.

In 2022, New Zealand celebrated its largest wine harvest ever, with record-breaking industry yields. At the same time the global demand for this country’s distinctive Marlborough sauvignon blanc continued to grow.

Indevin, known for brands such as Villa Maria, Esk Valley, Vidal and Thornbury, had to face the daunting task of managing a rapidly growing and extensive harvest operation, when there were also seasonal challenges posed by climate change.

Two years ago, the company started a transformative journey with AWS to digitise and streamline its operations, with the goal of driving efficiencies, enhancing quality and reducing costs. By harnessing the latest cloud technology, Indevin sought to bring together the artistry of winemaking with the precision of science, ushering in a new era of innovation.

Central to Indevin’s digital transformation was the implementation of real-time data analytics, facilitated

by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors used across vineyards, harvesters and wineries. They provided critical insights into various aspects of the harvest, including vineyard conditions, harvest bin utilisation and transport logistics.

By consolidating this data on AWS, Indevin created a comprehensive “single source of truth,” enabling unprecedented visibility and control over the entire harvesting process.

This real-time monitoring not only improved operational efficiency but also enabled proactive decisionmaking, allowing Indevin to mitigate risks and optimise resource allocation during the fast-paced harvest period.

Cloud technology has also facilitated advancements in sustainability and resource management within the wine industry. Indevin leverages AWS’s predictive analytics capabilities to forecast demand accurately and optimise daily operations, minimising waste and maximising efficiency.

Visual dashboards provided by Amazon QuickSight enable Indevin’s employees to monitor operations remotely, so they can respond swiftly to changing conditions and optimise resource allocation in real time.

This agility is crucial in a dynamic industry where timing is paramount, and where any delay in harvest can compromise the quality of the final product.

As well, AWS IoT Greengrass enables Indevin to place sensors within wineries, collecting data throughout the winemaking process.

This provides valuable insights into production bottlenecks and inefficiencies, allowing it to identify and address issues promptly.

By leveraging cloud technology, it can maintain the rhythm of its operations and uphold its commitment to delivering exceptional quality wines to consumers. “Cloud capabilities have revolutionised how we manage our harvests, with our employees able to monitor operations on their mobile devices from anywhere,” says Jason Cook, group winemaker at Indevin.

“This gives us the agility we need to act quickly and get the most from every hour of harvest.”

Haren Samarasekera, head of enterprise for AWS New Zealand, says Indevin is a great example of a Kiwi company using the latest cloud technology to optimise operations and enhance competitiveness in the global market. “Cloud technology is not merely a tool for efficiency but also a catalyst for innovation, enabling organisations to unlock new possibilities and drive sustainable growth,” he says. “Indevin’s success story serves as a testament to the potential of cloud technology to transform traditional industries and pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient future.”

To find out how cloud technology and AI can drive innovation visit AWS at Fieldays on site IN1 in the Innovations Hub.

through both education and collaboration. We know it’s incredibly tough out there this year. It’s never been more important for farmers to be heard and to have advocates amplifying their voice.”

Rural Advocacy Hub backs farmers at Fieldays

With Federated Farmers being New Zealand’s leading rural advocacy organisation, they were a natural fit to partner with to bring the hub to life.

“Fieldays provides the opportunity for connection and collaboration, and this hub will live those values,” he says.

Wayne Langford, Federated Farmers president, says the hub builds on its vision to unite rural advocacy groups as one team supporting farmers: “Farmers want to see the different advocacy groups who represent them working together constructively to get the best outcomes we can for our rural communities.

New hub brings agriinterest groups under one roof.

A dedicated Fieldays Rural Advocacy Hub will make its first appearance at the event this year in collaboration with Federated Farmers.

announcements and initiatives to amplify the voices and concerns of this country’s farmers and rural communities.

It will bring together the various rural organisations advocating for farmers and championing their interests as one team, under one roof, for the first time. It will also serve as a central platform for discussions,

With almost a dozen exhibitors in its inaugural year, there will be strong and diverse representation of exhibitors at the hub including Federated Farmers, Young Farmers, Groundswell, Rural Women, Future

Farmers NZ, Farmers Weekly and many more.

Peter Nation, New Zealand National Fieldays Society’s chief executive, says it’s great to be able to work alongside Federated Farmers to deliver a dedicated advocacy space like this.

“This new hub delivers on Fieldays’ purpose of advancing agriculture

“

“If we work as a team, with everyone playing in the right position, we can achieve a lot more for farmers than any one organisation can working alone. We’ve all got our own positions and roles to play in the team, but we need to be working together and communi tinuing to build on the concept in the future.

Farmers are invited to come and discuss the issues affecting the future of farming in New Zealand at the Fieldays Rural Advocacy Hub at site D70, in the Gallagher Building.

Fieldays Hubs have something for everyone Careers and education in the primary industry one of seven Hubs at Fieldays.

No matter your age or occupation Fieldays has a hub for you. The concept of grouping exhibitors together who have a common area of interest has long been part of Fieldays, with three hubs, centred around careers, health and wellbeing and innovation.

The Innovation Hub at the intersection of D Street and M Road continues the focus that led to the

The Sustainability Hub made its first appearance at Fieldays last year after four years in the planning. This year it’s growing and evolving with an overarching theme that will highlight present environmental problems but also future solutions.

“It’s a great way to provide space that can help facilitate conversations among like-minded people,” says Steve Chappell, Fieldays Programme Manager.

“The big change is the involvement of Ngāti Hauā,” Chappell says. “It’s a fantastic partnership for us.”

There will be 12 exhibitors in the hub and while this is a similar number to last year, some are new

A big part of the hubs’ success can be attributed to their providing something new to get visitors excited every year.

“Whether you’re a schoolkid looking at your career choices or are older and thinking about a career change, there’ll be plenty that will be of interest,” Chappell says.

Those wanting to expand their search and gather more information on their area of interest will once again be able to use the Fieldays app to find more of the exhibitors dotted around the site.

The Sustainability Hub will once again be on the corner of M Road and E Street, next to the Village Green.

The Hauora Taiwhenua Health & Wellbeing Hub debuted at Fieldays in 2017 and grows larger every year with 48 exhibitors taking part in 2024.

But that’s now grown to seven hubs after the highly successful launch of Sustainability Hub in 2023 and newcomer the Fieldays Rural Advocacy Hub appearing for the first time this year.

The Fieldays Careers and Education Hub at E30 has 14 different exhibitors covering all the different primary industry sectors: dairy, meat and wool, forestry and horticulture.

Chappell says the hub is not just for farmers but will have plenty of interest for urban visitors when it comes to how everyone can play their part in environmental protection and enhancement.

founding of Fieldays 56 years ago. Here entrants for the four different categories of Fieldays Innovation Awards can gain plenty of feedback from judges and visitors alike on their ideas – and there’s the invaluable chance to have their innovation scrutinised by potential partners, distributors and investors.

Some great success stories have come from small beginnings here in the past and most certainly will in the future.

to Fieldays. They’ll cover a wide range of topical areas from water quality through to pest eradication.

All manner of health issues can be canvassed here with experts and visitors can take the first step towards a healthier future with free hearing tests and blood pressure checks on offer. The hub is on E Street near N Road.

The Fieldays Digital Futures Hub in the Pavilion is still in its infancy, growing and evolving each year to showcase the innovation and technology options in the Primary Sector. Agritech New Zealand will once again be the overarching body here, helping put a range of different connectivity solutions in front of farmers so they are more aware of the increasing range of apps and programmes.

The Forestry Hub will be at the site entrance at G80 with 25 exhibitors taking part. It was launched two years ago and since then has given many students a closer look at the career opportunities available in this sector as well as showcasing to the general public the ways in which forestry and wood-processing contribute to the national economy.

Health is wealth for farmers at Fieldays Thousands expected to check-out the Health & Wellbeing Hub. Growing from strength to strength there will be 45 exhibitors in the Fieldays Hauora Taiwhenua Health and Wellbeing Hub this year, a jump from 30 last year.

“It’s surprising the number of people who walk in who are not engaged as they’ve been looking at tractors,” Eager says. “But once they’re in the hub they are.”

Health conditions from top (macular degeneration) to toe (orthotics) will all be covered making the hub even more of a one-stop health shop.

The hub first made an appearance at Fieldays in 2017 and by last year’s event 25,000 visitors out of a total of 105,000 had checked out just what was on offer there.

“Rural people are hard to reach,” says Mobile Health Group’s chief executive, Mark Eager. “But those who come to Fieldays are so hungry for information.”

In the past there have been queues to get a worrisome mole or spot checked out or to have a free and probably long overdue blood pressure check.

36

Last year paediatric physicians on site in the hub recorded an average of 170 discussions daily where they were able to alleviate parents’ concerns about vaccinating their children. They will be back again this year along with the popular Blow-Up Brain

display which can help start difficult conversations about forgetfulness and brain function.

Brain Tumour Support, Cure Parkinson’s, Dementia NZ, the Neurological Foundation and Health NZ’s Mental Health Manaaki Raatonga aa iwi will all be represented while if the mental health of a rural neighbour is causing concern, the Rural Support Trust will be giving farmer-tofarmer advice once again along with Lifeline Connect.

There’s increased concern in the medical field that with recent workforce shortages on-farm, more farmers are turning up late for appointments or missing them altogether. That means conditions can be very advanced by the time they’re seen so early detection needs to be targeted.

To help with this a new exhibitor will be Ka Ora Telehealth Group where people who can’t get an appointment

to see their doctor in the short term can find out more information on the health issues concerning them.

It’s very common for family members to encourage each other into the hub for a hearing check which will this year be available at two sites. For the first time there will be the offer of hearing aids being fitted with free use for the duration of Fieldays - and the option to buy rather than return them.

Also making its first appearance in the hub will be the new Waikato Medical School, which after signing a memorandum of understanding with the coalition Government is looking to interest rural youngsters in training as doctors.

The Fieldays Hauora Taiwhenua Health and Wellbeing Hub will be in the same position as last year on E Street near N Road with emergency services such as the Search and Rescue, Fire and Emergency NZ and Hato Hone St John right next door.

Test out a trike When Liam Carter was five he started riding a trike.

“It made a big difference,” he says. “I could get around; I had my independence, and I could go out and meet people.”

Keen to show other people the advantages they too could enjoy, the 16-year-old with Cerebal Palsy founded Ride Your Trike, and for the first time will be in the Fieldays Hauora Taiwhenua Health and Wellbeing Hub..

He’s been a vocal advocate for increased cycling safety for the last two years and partners with River Riders at Hamilton Gardens, renting trikes that can be ridden alongside the Waikato River.

As well he’s also involved in the Try a Trike School Programme where pupils can safely have a go at sampling a different mode of transport for themselves.

At Fieldays he’ll have a mix of locally manufactured and imported trikes on show as well as hi-spec e-Trikes which feature a throttle control. Visitors will be able to try them out, ask him for further information and buy if they wish.

“They’ll have every chance to find the product that’s right for their age and ability.”

Nothing lame about herd health World-class technology can save dairy farmers shedloads of money through early detection of cow lameness.

Research shows lameness costs the New Zealand dairy industry millions of dollars every year – and identifying just one lame cow early may save farmers in excess of $500 per head.

OmniEye’s new brand identity, Herd-i, is focused on reducing lameness as well as those costs and chief executive Andrew Christie says the change of brand shows its commitment to revolutionise dairy farming by bringing intelligence, innovation, and intuition to everything it does.

Its automated livestock monitoring system leverages computer vision, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to identify locomotion traits and trends for individual dairy cows. It was set up in 2021 and was trained using tens of thousands of vet scores to provide daily locomotion data for dairy herds. This aids early detection of lameness and other animal traits and welfare issues so treatment can be started promptly before more serious animal health issues develop. Not only can this cut farmers’ costs but can also save time

for them, their staff and vets they may otherwise need to call in.

The non-intrusive Herd-i camera can be easily installed at a milking shed’s exit race. All that’s required is a good on-farm internet connection, a hardsurface exit race which must be longer than six metres and mostly flat and cows walking preferably in single file.

gives a locomotion score between 0 (healthy) to 3 (very lame) for each cow, using the DairyNZ locomotion scoring system. So remote monitoring of individual cows is possible as well as historical trends with all this information able to be easily viewed.

The tens of thousands of data points collected allow farmers to make early and informed decisions about herd health and wellbeing, leading to better outcomes and improved profitability through minimising production losses.

Early intervention with a quick response can directly affect their bottom line by preventing losses that can cost well over $500 every time there’s a lameness incident. Christie believes there’s potential, in reducing dairy cow lameness, to save farmers who are milking 1000-cow herds more than $40,000 a year.

An EID reader on the exit race can be supplied as part of the installation if required.

The video footage the camera records is then streamed to the cloud, where machine learning models detect and score cows identified using existing EID readers. This information is then fed into a reporting dashboard which

®

Herd-i system’s development by a team of experts, including vets, gives farmers the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly data-driven and digital-led sector, he says. It’s recently recorded a 471 per cent increase of locomotion scores recorded year on year, hitting a total of 10 million.

The computer vision technologies it uses are already world-class, and late

last year it partnered with Waikato Milking Systems at a time when it was already recording more than one million locomotion scores a month.

“As specialists in lameness detection, the innovation pipeline has been a real focus area for us,” Christie says. “Our commercialisation and growth have come through hard work and great partnerships, and so our new identity was designed to better reflect our ambitions. We’re rolling out an enhanced customer dashboard and insights, recently deployed notifications for users to be alerted to issues introducing a number of partner integrations with drafting and herd management systems, and we’re readying the ship for the Body Condition Scoring (BCS) launch in 2025.”

These advancements were crucial steps in delivering a comprehensive suite of tools that would set new industry standards.

“We are forging a path toward a bright future where intelligent farming is the norm, both locally and internationally.”

Sixth fencing title on line for reigning champ More than $30,000 in prize money up for grabs.

Current world fencing champion Tony Bouskill, pictured, will be trying to make it six wins in the Golden Pliers

by Wiremark single competition at Fieldays this year.

While he says he’s never really trained before the event, this year the 34-year-old has been concentrating on building up his fitness through running and playing some squash.

He and his father, Shane, will also be looking to take out a sixth Fieldays Silver Spades doubles championship.

In 2019 he became World Fencing Champion at a competition held in Germany, following his father to the title (who won in 2015 and was second in 2017). It hasn’t been held for the last four years due to Covid but will take place in 2025 with this year’s Golden Pliers winner qualifying to take part.

Tony, who’s based in Tutira, northern Hawke’s Bay, has claimed a rare trifecta in the past, being the first to finish (first-off the line), while also taking out best quality award and then becoming overall winner. This is unusual because being a time penalty event, points are applied and keep being added after the first person comes off the line, meaning the first to finish will often sacrifice quality.

Shane, who’s also based in Hawke’s Bay where he and wife, Joelene, run S & J Contracting, has won four Golden Pliers competitions in the past. In 2016 when he won, Tony was second; their positions were reversed with Tony coming first in 2022 and Dad second - a result 53-year-old Shane puts down to old age.

“You should be able to have the speed and do a good job,” he says.

“I didn’t start out that way as I was just trying to catch up with the older guys.”

and Cambridge Fencing Competition earlier this year. They were also second in the Hawke’s Bay Doubles Competition and finalists in the New Zealand Rural Games held in Palmerston North.

But their concentration is now firmly on the doubles at Fieldays, an event they won five times in a row until last year when they came second behind Jeff Joines and Mark Lambert.

Ground conditions on the day will have a lot to do with the result.

Shane started taking part in fencing competitions in 1998. “I was in the industry and just turned up on the day,” he says.

The Bouskills don’t talk to each other while they’re competing. “We just know what we’ve got to do,” Shane says.

“If it’s raining it makes life a bit harder, but if it’s cooler and foggy that can make things better,” he says.

Competing in doubles events, the father and son took out the Central Districts Power Fencing Competition

But both agree that if something goes wrong that’s when the talking really starts.

Heats for both the singles and doubles competitions will be run by New Zealand Fencing Competitions (NZFC) on Monday. The Fieldays Silver Staples cadet competition is held on Wednesday morning then Thursday morning sees the Golden Pliers by Wiremark kick off. The Fieldays Silver Spades is on Friday with a doubles team from the United States, the winners of US Platinum Doubles Championship, taking part, adding an international flavour.

Prizegiving will be held at the end of the day where a range of impressive trophies and over $30,000 in prize money will be presented.

Calibre of farmer-led innovations on the rise Over 60 new farm-based ideas competing for prizes at Fieldays.

The Innovation Hub regularly tops the list of the most visited areas at Fieldays and this year it will be showing off a new look and feel to appeal to an even wider audience.

While it’s in the same place, at the corner of M and D Roads, the area has been redesigned and rebranded to enhance visitors’ experience.

Over 65 entries have been received this year, well up on the 50 on show in 2023, says Steve Chappell, Fieldays Programme Manager. “Despite tough times farmers are still coming up with innovations. In fact, the need for resourcefulness and self-sufficiency stimulates innovative thinking.”

Traditionally creations straight out of the farm shed have been entered in the competition and have gone on to have a big impact, helping to transform the primary sector. But last year there was a further increase in innovation entries from the

sustainability and green-tech areas, highlighting the diversification being seen now.

A big drawcard of the hub is its collaborative atmosphere even though all the entrants are competing for the same prizes, Chappell says.

“It’s great for the first timers to be situated alongside a company that has a global presence. Year after year, we are continually amazed by the exceptional quality of our entrants.

Fieldays is built on innovation, and this is the ultimate platform to showcase ideas.”

Another change this year is the evolution of the previous judging process. To make judging more robust, a short-list of five innovations on show in the hub and on other sites will be selected as finalists, and go through online and in-person judging, before the final winners are announced.

New level of technology in pest traps Latest traps can detect the difference between pets and pests.

Advances just keep coming in pest control – and NZ AutoTraps is showing off three of its best at Fieldays.

Its AT220 has gained acclaim domestically and abroad for its effectiveness and convenience dealing with pests such as mice, rats, possums, feral cats and mustelids. Customers range from homeowners to the Department of Conservation (DoC) and prominent iwi groups.

It’s self-resetting – meaning reduced labour costs as it only requires maintenance checks every four to six months. That leads to reduced pest numbers, higher yields for farmers and flourishing native species.

The AT230-ChipCheck model has a microchip reader at the entry of the trap, so should a microchip from a domestic pet be detected, the trap is de-activated.

This makes it ideal for use in both urban and rural areas.

AutoTrap’s latest addition, the AT520-AI, being unveiled at Fieldays, is state-of-the-art – AI-enabled for intelligent pest targeting and with remote monitoring features. The company has partnered with Predator Free 2050 to enter its new model for an Fieldays Innovation Award.

All three models can be seen at the Innovation Hub and the Predator Free 2050 site E38.

42

To make sure visitors feel more invested they will get the chance to have their say in the People’s Choice Award by voting for their favourite innovation through use of their Fieldays wristband. The highest polling entry will win $2,000 and one randomly selected voter for any innovation will receive a voucher up to the value of $500.

They’ll be able to visit all entries not on show in the Innovation Hub through use of the trail on the Fieldays app which will overlay the different site locations on a site map for easy access.

The four Innovations Awards categories remain the same with the Prototype category being the incubator of new ideas and earlystage concepts, and the Early-Stage category highlighting innovations which have launched commercially within the last year.

Growth & Scale category entries are already making their mark both here and overseas with commercial success in at least two countries within the last four years and are now ready to take on new markets.

The Young Innovator of the Year Award will once again recognise just how important it is to foster the next generation of innovators in the primary sector. This category is open to entrants in all three categories who are aged 19 and under.

The Innovation Awards are supported by sponsors Amazon Web Services (AWS), Gait International, King St. Advertising, NZME, Sprout Agritech, and Blender Design. Together with Fieldays they provide over $70,000 worth of cash, support and promotion including expert advice, product design and development, marketing and media support. The Fieldays Innovation Awards will be livestreamed on Facebook from 5pm on Thursday 13 June.

Trust aims to help restore Waikato River to its natural state 200,000 seedlings per-year produced for planting in Waikato wetland areas.

Ngāti Hauā Mahi Trust is set to take on a much larger role in Fieldays this year through its involvement in the design of the Sustainability Hub. Its focus will extend to being part of the spear-shaped display in the hub showing how despair at rubbish found in the Waikato River, such as wrecked cars and dumped supermarket trolleys, can be turned to abundance through planting and restoring the river’s banks to their natural state.

The descendants of Ngāti Hauā Paramount Chief Wiremu Tamihana Tarapipipi Te Waharoa (1805-1866), the trust continues to honour his vision of Kingitanga, manaakitanga (hospitality), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship).

For many years Ngāti Hauā, now led by Tumuaki Hone Thompson, have performed the karakia opening Fieldays as well as offering cultural support to the New Zealand National Fieldays Society. “We’ve been there from the get-go,” says Keri Thompson, the Morrinsville-based trust’s chief executive.

Since 2012, the trust has planted over 900,000 plants into a number of Waikato wetland and riparian projects with its nurseries producing up to 200,000 seedlings a year. It employs 15 permanent staff with numbers increasing during the planting season. Work is being carried out on 10 active projects spread across the Waikato and which involve local and regional councils and individual landowners.

The area the Ngāti Hauā iwi have inhabited for more than four centuries and which the trust now works stretches east along the eastern banks of the Waikato River, to include the Matamata-Piako district and south to Cambridge and Maungatautari.

There are five marae - with the catchments around them traditionally being large repo (swamps) - connecting Ngāti Hauā to other iwi as well as being important travelling routes.

A major part of the trust’s establishment was to revive connections which were lost due to

colonisation and later industrial development.

So, it is dedicated to renewal of the environment through The fish survey team by the Mangaaonua Stream in Tauwhare. the growing of plants which it believes have a Thompson is encouraging Fieldays key role in transforming waterways, visitors to come to the Sustainability vegetation and people and to Hub to get a closer look at the many reaching out to the wider community ways the banks of the Waikato are for the common good. being restored as well as getting an idea of the work still to be carried This involves native plant supply out.

How science is helping farmers Collaboration between some of NZ’s best brains will show farmers how to reduce emissions and improve their business resilience.

Some of New Zealand’s best science and innovation to help boost on-farm profitability, protect the environment and reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions will be a feature of Fieldays this year.

The Science for Farmers site is a new collaboration between the Ministry for Primary Industries’ (MPI) On Farm Support service and research partners AgResearch, AgriZeroNZ, LIC, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Massey University and the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC).

Dr John Roche, MPI’s On Farm Support director and chief science adviser, says the initiative aims to better connect scientists and researchers with farmers and grower: “The Science for Farmers site will enable farmers and growers to learn firsthand about the science helping New Zealand’s agricultural sector become even more efficient and adapt to change,” he says.

“It will have interactive features, giving farmers more information about practical actions that can be taken now to reduce on-farm emissions. Importantly, it will provide details about tools and technology being developed to help the sector in the future.”

Meet the On Farm Support team at the Science for Farmers site at F29 on F Street.

The site will cover pasture, genetics and other mitigation tools that can sustainably increase on-farm profitability, while improving long-

term business resilience.

A diverse pastures exhibit will see Massey University and AgResearch share the science and innovation behind the latest pastoral practices, giving farmers options around their most important home-grown feed.

“Breeding climate-friendly sheep and cattle that can reduce emissions without sacrificing productivity is the focus of a segment presented by LIC and AgResearch,” he says. “An exhibit hosted by AgriZeroNZ and NZAGRC will share information on what’s coming next, with future potential tools and the research pathways behind successful, adoptable emission reduction options, environmental stewardship and the latest research investments.

“Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research is also part of the site and will give farmers and growers practical tips to increase soil carbon and build resilience to climate change, such as small plantings of diverse trees.”

An interactive activity at the site, delivered by On Farm Support regional advisers, will also help farmers understand what their emissions are today and the steps they could take to reduce them.

The Science for Farmers site will be at F29 on F Street. For more information about On Farm Support visit www. mpi.govt.nz/on-farm-support

The family on a winning run at Fieldays His father won the Tractor Pull in the 1990s, now Dan Reymer wants to in 2024.

Dan Reymer is proud to be known as Tractor Pull leader at Fieldays. With his family, who run a contracting business in Pirongia, southwest Waikato, he is steeped in the history of this popular event.

Reymer Agriculture is a third generation contracting business, set up by the late John Reymer senior. His son, Bill, took over in the 1970s and in turn his sons, Chris and Mike entered the business in 2005. Urged on by his father, Dan started competing in the Tractor Pull as soon as he got his license back in 2014. “I wasn’t that great because it was all new,” he says.

“It’s a lot to do with setting up the tractors beforehand rather than just driving them. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, for example setting up the horsepower to weight ratio. And modern tractors are a completely different game without a manual gearbox.”

His father Steve, now in his 50s, won the event back in the 1990s with his brothers Andrew and Bill taking out second and third places. And while Steve doesn’t compete anymore, he’s still one of a group of volunteers who help out with running the Tractor Pull, particularly the care and attention paid to grooming the track.

“I think he still enjoys it,” Dan says.

He came second in a tight competition in 2022 and he’ll be back again this year on the same tractor he drove in 2023, which is a smaller size but delivers more horsepower. “This time I’m thinking of what I could do to change things,” he says. “I want to see if I can get it to work better for me.”

“ It’s a good time of year because there’s not much going on with work. It’s a good excuse to clean and tidy the tractors and afterwards we can sit around and give each other stick. It’s all good friendly banter and we can have a good catch-up session because we’re all in the same game.”

History of the Tractor Pull

Winner Dan Reymer (centre) with 2023 Fieldays Tractor Pull sponsors from left to right Graeme Austin, Corson Maize and Murray Grant CASE IH

Tractor pulling is often regarded as the oldest motorsport globally, tracing back to the 1860s when farmers engaged in friendly competitions to showcase the strength of their draft horses.

The objective was simple: determine whose horse could

pull the greatest weight over the longest distance. The Tractor Pull was introduced to Fieldays in 1975. From its humble beginnings of small horsepower, manual gear boxes, two-wheel drive and mechanical problems, we fastforward to an era where we see

four-wheel drive, computerised tractors, and engines up to 260 horsepower. The Tractor Pull consistently ranks as one of the main attractions at Fieldays, remaining a place of great fun and camaraderie for both competitors and spectators alike.

“ It’s really good when the crowd gets involved. But it’s also a good place to sit down and relax while you’re watching,” His hopes were boosted by winning a regional competition in January: “I’m going to take the same approach as (he did) there and hope it works.”

First thing on the morning of the competition he’ll be working out whether to let his tyres down or add more weight to get more traction. “There’ a lot of luck in it as well,” he says. “And the weather can change things by the hour or even the minute.”

Much of the pleasure, alongside taking out a title of course, is the enjoyment of the large crowd which gathers to see the races.

There are four categories: weight adjusted, weight transfer, modified and pre-1985 tractors.

Competitors battle it out over three days of heats on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the finals take place from 8am to

1.30pm on Saturday at the river end of M Road.

The modified class is a firm favourite with the crowd’s attention level noticeably lifting when drivers bring them out to show what they’ve got.

“It’s really good when the crowd gets involved. But it’s also a good place to sit down and relax while you’re watching,” Reymer says.

His company regularly enters around seven or eight of its drivers in the competition, with other contracting firms doing the same, creating a longstanding professional but friendly rivalry. “It’s a good time of year because there’s not much going on with work. It’s a good excuse to clean and tidy the tractors and afterwards we can sit around and give each other stick.

It’s all good friendly banter and we can have a good catch-up session because we’re all in the same game.”

Watch the Tractor Pull competition Wed - Thur from 8.30am - 4.00pm and Sat 8.00am - 1.30pm. Located near the intersection of A Street and M Road.
