Hybrid dairy farming — Kiwi style

airy breed and genetics experts CRV Ambreed hosted Dmembers of the American Forage & Grassland Council to show how to get the best out of dairy cow genetics in a hybrid farming system on a client’s Waikato farm. CRV Ambreed global product manager grazing Peter van Elzakker hosted 22 council mem- bers, led by University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environ- mental Sciences associate professor Dennis Hancock, on client John Pouls’ dairy farm north of Te Awamutu. Forage extension specialist Pro- fessor Hancock met Mr van Elzakker through CRV USA. The group is also attending this week’s NZ Grassland Association Annual Conference in Timaru. Mr Pouls, who has been using CRV Ambreed genetics in his herd for 40 years, milks about 250 cows on 65ha, serviced by a Herd Home, where the herd is fed and effluent is collected for fertiliser. The Pouls operation aims to feed the cows about 22kg of dry matter a day; about 60 per cent of this is fresh grass, with the rest fed through a TC031116TCPOULS mixed ration of grass silage, maize HYBRID dairy farmer John Pouls (centre) with the Amercian Forage & Grassland Council group on his farm. silage and beets delivered to the Herd Home.

KIHIKIHI Speedway turned on a spec- tacular Community Fireworks display last- ing nine minutes on Saturday night. Dr Martin Van Tiel of Van Tiel Pyrotechnics Ltd said weather conditions were ideal for the fireworks and everything had gone to plan. One of the biggest ever crowds to attend a speedway meeting at Kihikihi were treated to 200 shots of non-stop pyrotechnics action from 75mm to 125mm mortars that exploded spectacularly 100 to 150 metres high and 125 metres in diameter — all fired by a computer. Courier sports editor Colin Thorsen captured Cathie Hall, her son Kenny, Hannah Austin and grandchildren Nicole (7) and Sienna Jones (5) watching the fireworks. Also pictured are the winners of the Halloween best dressed competition. From left, Hannah Hastwell (10), Jade Sherborne (12) and Riley Martinovich (11). Speedway photographer Graham Hughes caught Craig Robinson’s 34K saloon being sent into a wild barrel roll after 91A Cody Singer half spun and shot down across the track collecting Robinson in the right rear.
