Descriptions of the grass type in each paddock are below. The amount of pasture that has grown under the cage each month is assessed via a standard ‘cut and dry’ protocol to give the pasture accumulation rate in kilograms of dry matter per hectare per day (kgDM/ha/d) Pasture accumulation rate (kgDM/ha/day) Site Measure Dec-09 Jan-10 Feb-10 Mar-10 Apr-10 May-10 Jun-10 Jul-10 Kairanga From cage 122 96 39 54 28 20 21 (Tetraploid rye with Derived* 65 65 40 45 20 15 10 red & white clover) Halcombe From cage 75 106 8 2 35 30 36 (8 year old perrenial) Derived* 65 20 8 2 35 15 12 Kiwitea From cage 84 85 23 37 18 18 25 (08 sown 'Bealy' tetraploid Derived* 45 25 20 18 20 14 10 NEA2) Apiti From cage 29 56 69 26 11 12 4 18 (8+ yr old perrenial) Derived* 29 60 56 8 8 15 15 10 Ashhurst/Pohangina From cage 38 28 48 27 9 11 8 9 (09 sown 'Revolution' AR1) Derived* 25 20 20 25 16 8 10 beef + lamb new zealand ltd freephone 0800 beeflamb (0800 233 352) email [email protected] website www.beeflambnz.com Page 1 Manawatu District Monitoring Information – Compiled by Totally Vets Ltd.

Note: Care when interpreting winter pasture growth rates - the following sites had 35- 42kg of fertiliser nitrogen applied to all or part of the farm area in May: Marton, Kairanga, Kiwitea and Halcombe. The Halcombe site also had a gibberellin-based plant hormone treatment applied in this window. Interpreting cage cut data: The amount of pasture that accumulates in a cage each month tends on average to be about 120% of what we can account for by what stock have eaten and how much the average cover has risen or fallen. There are two main reasons for this: 1. It is highly unlikely that the pasture grown under a small (often 1m x 1m) pasture cage will be representative of what has grown over the whole farm 2. The pasture cut from a cage includes dead matter and matter in the early stages of decay; this material ‘disappears’ in a real farm system where stock have a choice, as they won’t eat it unless forced to. For this reason derived pasture growth rates come closer to the cage cut values in winter and in drought where stock have less choice about what they eat. beef + lamb new zealand ltd freephone 0800 beeflamb (0800 233 352) email [email protected] website www.beeflambnz.com Page 2 .

  • Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019
    Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019 ORGANISATION NAME: Horowhenua District Council RTC REPRESENTATIVE: Mayor Michael Feyen 1. MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS AND RENEWALS Pavement repairs and drainage work for next season’s reseals have begun around the district. This year’s reseals, which were undertaken by JJ Walters as subcontractors to Higgins, had all but one site completed by mid-December with the final site completed in April following completion of a minor safety improvement project. The road past the Gladstone Road slip has continued to be open full time. Geotechnical investigations have been carried out along the corridor of a possible realignment. The development of a business case has begun and a variation to the RLTP will be forthcoming. Work on this financial year’s rehabilitations progressed well except on Waitarere Beach Road where the discovery of a midden has held work up. The project has now been delayed until the new financial year. 2. WALKING AND CYCLING Council officers have met with the NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail regarding a proposed shared pathway in the rail reserve in Levin from Tararua Road to Roslyn Road. This pathway would become the north/south spine for the shared pathway network through the town. KiwiRail have issues with trespassers illegally crossing the railway line all along the rail corridor in Levin and a fence could be installed at the same time to alleviate this concern. 3. ROAD SAFETY RURAL SPEED LIMIT REVIEW HDC have been undergoing a Rural Speed Limit Review with the aim to implement any new rural speed limits by the end of the financial year.

  • Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand
    Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand The beginning starting from the end: Frederick Wilhelm Sr. died January 21 1912 at Rongotea, New Zealand at the age of 94. Here is his obituary from the newspaper, “Feilding Star” Volume VI, Issue 1700, 22 January 1912. This serves a good record to survey this first family and their locations at his death. It says he arrived in this district in 1876, the same year of their immigration. One can surmise from this that they had arrangements made in advance to come to this area. The obituary says he was a good citizen, had the respect of all his neighbours and had a strong constitution. This document indicates he had five sons and one daughter. Now, we have to make a correlation between the names given here and those above. The daughter, Emily, is obviously the now married Mrs. C. Hartley living at Wellington. Here are the five sons: 1. William now living at Colyton (Manawatu district). This must be Frederick Wilhelm Jr. called William to distinguish him from his father who was often referred to as F.W. in the Feilding Star newspaper. 2. Amco of Patea (South Taranaki district of Taranaki region). It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 3. Carl of Queensland (The only Queensland apparent on modern maps is near Sydney Australia. This name must be for a town no longer known by that name. It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 4. Fred of Wellington (Wellington region). This would obviously be Ferdinand.

  • Review of Manawatu Farming
    REVIEW OF MANAWATU FARMING W. L. OSBORN Farm Advisory OfJicer, MAF, Palmerston North J. D. COWIE Soil Bureau, DSIR, Palmerston North INTRODUCTION THE _M.ANAW.ATU is an old-estab!ished area of fel?i!e !and g:v:ng high levels of production under dairy, sheep, beef cattle, and cropping systems. This paper will deal with history, climate, topogaphy, soils, farming types, production levels, amenities, re- search, current trends, and take a look at the future. HISTORY The early colonization, as with other New Zealand districts, was coastal (Foxton, 1855) but settlers eventually moved up the Manawatu River. An early surveyor, J. T. Stewart, laid out the future city of Palmerston North on a clearing in the virgin cover of dense forest in 1870. The railway link to Wellington was completed in 1886, and links through the Gorge and to Wanganui in 1891. Foxton was bypassed by the railway and a branch line existed till after the Second World War. Levin and Feilding, being on the railway, have progressed and are now important centres. In the early days many village settlements were planned but few developed to the extent that they were laid out by the surveyors. Small holdings and small sections have been a hindrance to the development of the Manawatu and, though amalgamations have taken place in recent times, this problem will be mentioned again later in this paper. CLIMATE Typical of the west coast of the North Island, the climate is wet and windy and more reliable than in many other districts but droughts are still possible.

  • Geomorphic Impacts of a 100-Year Flood: Kiwitea Stream, Manawatu Catchment, New Zealand ⁎ Ian C
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Geomorphology 98 (2008) 84–95 www.elsevier.com/locate/geomorph Geomorphic impacts of a 100-year flood: Kiwitea Stream, Manawatu catchment, New Zealand ⁎ Ian C. Fuller Geography Programme, School of People, Environment and Planning, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North, New Zealand Received 30 December 2005; received in revised form 4 May 2006; accepted 21 February 2007 Available online 13 May 2007 Abstract The geomorphic impacts of a 100-year flood are assessed in the Kiwitea Stream (254 km2), a tributary within the Manawatu River catchment (New Zealand), using sequential aerial photographs and reach-based morphological sediment budgeting. Channel expansion and avulsion eroded in excess of one million cubic metres of sediment over 1 km2 of floodplain along a 30-km-long reach of Kiwitea Stream. Channel transformation was spatially discontinuous and predominantly associated with large-scale bank erosion in response to a flood over 5 times bigger than the mean annual flood (annual recurrence interval (ARI) ∼100 years). Total energy expenditure of this flood in the Kiwitea was ∼14,900×103 J. The spatial discontinuity of channel transformation relates to valley floor and channel configurations. High stream powers generated in confined channels at bends produced catastrophic channel transformation. Where flood flows dissipated overbank, stream powers and the extent of channel transformation were reduced. Hydrologic, hydraulic and geomorphic variables can be invoked to thus explain the variability of geomorphic impacts encountered during this event. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
