He provides farmers with production systems that improve farm performance and profitability in the face of increasing compliance and regulation. If not on farms with clients you will find Phil on his own Napier block or on the ocean chasing big fish.

Two Evenings and Saturday Field Trip

Conference Schedule
As the theme might give away there will be a lot of discussion time this year. Our sector is under increasing pressure with limited capacity for Meat processing and Dairy having major players drop out or looking to discontinue processing. What is our destiny and what can we do? Plenty to talk over.
Our event will kick off on late Friday afternoon with Registrations and then dinner, with speakers following laying the groundwork for both Saturdays Field Day and our Saturday night panel discussions. We’ll be on farm on Saturday looking at both Soil and Animal Health before returning to the function centre for the AGM, Dinner, more speakers and the Panel Discussion. There will be plenty of time to mix and mingle between planned events.
Included in your ticket is Dinner on Friday and Saturday night plus Lunch on the field trip.
