Ag Innovations Day

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Upper Akitio Ag Innovations Day — both the presenters who shared their knowledge and the farmers who took the time to be part of the afternoon. The one-on-one conversations at the end of the day were particularly valuable, with some great connections made.

The afternoon covered a range of topics — from new trapping technology and drone spray applications, to satellite communications through Starlink and One New Zealand, and virtual fencing using Halter collars. There was also strong interest in the opportunities that artificial intelligence offers around mapping forests and carbon, alongside discussions on the potential for co-funded planting opportunities. Each presentation offered valuable insights, and left attendees with fresh ideas for the future.
