Lincoln University and ATS help build Canterbury agri-sector

Market Update Jono Pavey

General Manager Operations

By Richard Rennie

Welcome to the second edition of our revamped In Season mailer, published quarterly to coincide with the seasons.

Spring has well and truly arrived with a sustained period of stable weather, and summer is just around the corner. This has been ideal for calving, lambing and getting spring crops sown and established. Added to this we have had some timely rainfall to help with grass growth. Our wet autumn and early winter conditions are examples of how the Canterbury rainfall has a way of averaging things out over the calendar year. Let’s hope it continues to deliver in a timely manner.

While we are well aware of the significant reduction in the dairy pay out this season, the vast majority of dairy farmers I have spoken to see it as a “blip” in an industry they are already committed to now and in the years to come. Yes, there will be a slowdown in spending in the dairy sector but we can’t focus on the negative. We need to ensure decisions made today won’t hamper the business later this season or in the seasons to come.

will need winter feed crops; they will have to apply fertiliser; and they will continue to use electricity for irrigation and the cow shed.

This year it could be that one of the other local sectors may have a strong year, whether it is grain and seed, wool or red meat. The outlook for the red meat sector looks positive with farm-gate prices for lamb and beef expected to increase on last year. The decrease in the value of the NZ dollar against our major trading partners will help some of these sectors.

Closer to home, and in this edition of In Season, the relationships between ATS and Lincoln University and the Ashburton Fire Brigade are the subject of our focus articles.

Both make for interesting reading and we hope you enjoy.

While dairy is important to ATS and the local economy, there are also a number of other agribusiness sectors that play an important role locally and will continue to do so. Dairy farmers will need to continue to feed cows to maximise production so they will need to keep growing grass; they will need to source supplementary feeds such as maize silage and cereal grain; they

At this time of year things are getting busy and you’re making your list and probably checking it twice. What on earth are you going to get for the other half this year? There’s Mum and Dad (who already have everything), the kids who have helped out by writing their own extensive and unreasonable list, Nana & Grandad who, as usual, don’t want anything at all. Then there’s Aunty Jean, Uncle Bob, the nieces and nephews, the cousins, second cousins, Great Aunt Whats-Her-Name who never likes what you get her anyway, those people that turn up unannounced who you have to have something for just in case, the postie, the lady up the road, even the dog needs something. Lucky you have your Ruralco Card.

Plus the more times you use your Ruralco Card in November and December the more chances you have to win one of ten $1,000 prizes. For more information head to www.ruralco.co.nz/shopsaveandwin. Terms and conditions apply.
