Farms sell all the time

We advise the best time to sell the farm is when you and the family are ready. Sometimes that's a 1-2 year "lead-out" period. We have wide experience in helping clients make such big decisions and believe this should never be rushed

Dairy goes from strong to super-strong

The latest Global Dairy Trade auction on 7th February 2024 saw the largest gain in price out of the last five successive rises. The overall index rose 4.2% to US$3571/tonne. This follows December auction increase of 1.6% and 2.3% and January results of 1.2% and 2.3%.

Manawatu District has slightly increased over that time - we think that's more a...

Plenty to be positive about

Seems every media commentator is jumping on a bandwagon of "doom and gloom" for the housing market. Yet only a few months ago they were calling for cooling to the price rises. I thought a little bit of perspective is due.  Buying and selling on the same market has always been sound advice Many who tried to upgrade their house last year missed out due to a host of other offers being presented...

Riparian plantings used to offset emissions

One highlight of the work being developed to date is to allow farmers to offset farm emissions through recognising the trees already on the property.
