Our demonstration farms

We collaborate with partners around NZ that develop and demonstrate the world's best agricultural practice including through our own demonstration farms.

Since our start as an agricultural college, we have led research and development for the benefit of the land-based sectors. Our unique portfolio of farms and landscapes provide valuable access for this work.

We work with farms around New Zealand to deliver:

  • Education and training

  • Research and development

  • Demonstration

Dedicated partnerships in the dairy sector

We have two dedicated partnerships for demonstration in the dairy sector. Each week, these farms host farm walks. They also organise demonstration focus days for commercial farmers and rural professionals.

Farm data

Farm data is available for free online and summarised in weekly newsletters. Field days are also held for sharing research.
