Farmers, our free farm plans will help you future-proof your business and help ensure your children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy our great Taranaki lifestyle.
Council farm plans address:
- Riparian (streamside) management on the ring plain.
- Soil erosion in the hill country.
- Protection of wetlands and other valuable habitats.
- Eradication of possums and other pests that threaten agricultural production and native biodiversity.
How do our plans benefit your farm?
Addressing issues such as water quality and soil erosion bring proven land-management benefits and allow the best long-term use to be made of the land
Fencing and planting waterways, for example, reduces stock losses by drowning or to water-borne disease, as well as improving a property’s aesthetic and biodiversity values.
And actively managing a hill country property to prevent soil erosion means making the best and most productive use of its soil types, thus increasing profitability and sustainability.
Then there is the customer to consider. At home and in our vital overseas markets, consumers have increasingly high expectations about the environmental credentials of the primary products they buy. All eyes are on farmers.
