NZX Agribusiness Conference
The 2010 NZX Agribusiness Conference will be held in Taupo from Monday 17th May until Thursday 20 May, at Bayview Wairakei Resort.

Square Trust Rescue Rail Helicopter
The Square Trust Rescue helicopter performs around 500 missions per year. A mix of ambulance, inter-hospital transfers and Police work makes up these jobs. The unique properties of the AS 350 B2 Squirrel helicopter to respond quickly and easily to emergencies is a real asset. The thing that makes their service so special and that touches the lives of our community is the people. The team is made up of Pilots, Paramedics, Flight Nurses and Police who work and train hard to ensure the best level of service is delivered. The community, service groups and local businesses that support the service with donations of time, money, goods and services make this work possible.

Ballance Farm Environment Awards
The Farm Environment Awards were established in 1993 as a joint initiative between the Waikato Conservation Board and Environment Waikato. The key objective of the awards is to display to farmers that profitability need not compromise environmental values. Indeed, past winners of the awards have shown that the environment can be both restored and enhanced under profitable farming systems.
The awards help farmers enhance their businesses in a number of way.

NZX Agri provides motivated support and extreme coverage of the awards in our publications.

NZ Farm Forestry Association
In 2010, the NZ Farm Forestry Association will hold its annual national conference in Invercargill, 7 – 11 April .This year the conference has been called ‘Winds of Change – Beyond Radiata’ and NZX Agri is a sponsor of the conference.

The NZ Farm Forestry Association looks set to grow as it contains a huge resource of knowledge available to people looking to re-afforest their land either in forestry species (NZ's plantation timber is totally sustainable) or in native species. Our association freely shares our vast amount of expertise and experience with all-comers. As members we have planted trees for environmental purposes as well as investing in the future in a sustainable and renewable resource and will be relying on our association to continue to assist us in understanding carbon credits, emission trading schemes as well as silvicultural expertise.

The New Zealand Young Farmers
NZYF is a social organisation that is tonnes of fun with down to earth people. Each club has its own identity and community spirit, backed by a national organisation. You make friends for life and develop your personal and practical skills through participation and achievement.

NZX Agri Sponsors the membership drive through our publications.

We also have recently launched a new publication Young Country that works with the Young Farmers Association. Young Country is a magazine for 18-35 year old farmers and agribusiness leaders in New Zealand. It aims to entertain, inform and inspire its readers with stories of people who live on the land or work with people who do. It will bring stories of people who are achieving success in their farming business while enjoying the unique lifestyle and character of rural New Zealand.

The Pasture Renewal Charitable Trust
Currently New Zealand pasture renewal rate is very low at only 3-4% annually. The ideal rate of renewal is 10% of each farm annually to maximise the benefits from new pasture for increased dry matter production, better stock performance, improved animal health, greater management flexibility and a higher income.

The value of pasture-based farming is the fundamental platform for 35% of New Zealand’s annual GDP. Trust members believe renewing pasture more frequently is the key to New Zealand’s farming future and will benefit the whole economy.

NZX Agri has joined together with 17 agribusiness companies to work collaboratively to promote the value of more frequent pasture renewal on New Zealand farms. Visit www.pasturerenewal.org.nz
