Other factors such as earlier calving dates may have shifted the bobby-calf kill to occur earlier than expected. GRAIN Maize ground in the Waikato has started to be prepped for planting, with paddocks being sprayed out over the past fortnight. Areas of maize planted for grain are expected to be lower than last year, continuing the trend of reduced maize grain area seen over the last ten years. Soil moisture continues to be of concern to growers in Canterbury, as year-to-date rainfall continues to lag behind the yearly average. Irrigators are already in action across the region, to ensure plant stress is reduced as much as possible. US grain prices on the Chicago Board of Trade have seen an unprecedented price rally over the past week. The increase in the wheat futures price came on the back of reports of increased levels of export quantities through the week. INTENSE COMPETITION: LeaderBrand’s revitalised ‘Silver Secateurs’ grapevine pruning competition at the end of July attracted a big field of the district’s best for an intense three-hour competition. Among the contestants were Willie Clay (above) and Tahunga Puna-Houkamau (left), both pictures of concentration. The intent is to stage the contest again next year on a bigger, multi-regional scale.

The team of Barrie Denham (skip), Ngawai Turipa and Win Baker were the winners with nine points, 15 ends and a differential of 23. The team of Ian Carroll (skip), Cheryl Jenkins and Diane Doyle were second with nine points, 15 ends and a differential of 14. Jeff Davis (skip), Lesley Seymour, Kathryn Flaugere and Trish Leach were third with nine points and 14 ends. This showed the importance of winning not only the game but as many ends as possible. Sponsor for the tournament was the Star Service Centre. Prizes were given out by new board member Win Baker. Members each brought a plate of finger food that was shared at the end of play. On Sunday the club held a successful “Have a Go” day attended by over 30 people covering a wide range of ages. The club is anticipating a great season.
