Mix it up with pastures for the future

We’re proud of our history of innovation. More importantly, we’re hard at work innovating for the future.

 

Our latest cultivars reflect the new systems farmers are using to adapt to changing expectations, be they social, climatic or environmental.

 

Meantime our plant breeders and scientists continue to ask themselves what the New Zealand farm systems of 2030 will look like, so they can develop the pastures and forages that will be the engine room of such future systems.

 

We believe real milk and real meat have a real future, and right now we’re working on plants with:

  • Better nutrient use efficiency
  • Improved climatic tolerance
  • Higher nutritional value
  • Stronger pest resistance
  • Faster genetic gain

 

You don’t have to wait for these to come through our R&D system before future-proofing today’s pastures, however.

 

This autumn, we’ve created a whole range of innovative pasture seed mixes to help improve NZ farm systems right now, from general purpose, short-term finishing pastures through to hill country.
