Workshops look to future

Dairy Women’s Network members will get a hand in planning for the future of their farm business, with a new workshop series held in conjunction with NZ CA Limited and ASB. These free three-hour sessions will help attendees understand their options for succession; what to think about when going through the process; how to navigate the common challenges when planning for the future, such as finances; and what the fu- ture of their farm business could look like. Farmers often shy away from having the courageous conversations with key stakeholders around suc- cession, and this knowledge is a key aspect of delivering these workshops to the regions. NZ CA are pleased to NZ CA Limited and ASB are proud to be joining DWN in hosting workshops, and helping different be able to assist DWN with generations of farmers to realise their dreams.

He played in every match for the Stags, nine at fullback and one on the wing. In his second season down south, the Hamilton Boys’ High School old boy has once again made the maroon and gold 15 jersey his own.
