Understanding your farm science to improve confidence and protect production and profitability 

As part of our Good Farm project, we’re excited to extend a popular series of workshops to help you better understand your land, protect production and profitability through farm science, and stay ahead of regulation. 

The Farming and Compliance Confidence Taranaki (FACCT) workshops are delivered by local farmer Campbell McCowan. They are a chance to learn more about the science of your farm and how best to manage your land, water and agricultural greenhouse gases to meet regulatory requirements and protect productivity (and profitability!).

More about the FACCT series

Local farmer Campbell McCowan from PLANit Farming will deliver a series of ten workshops looking at local catchment geology, soils, erosion, nutrients and freshwater, as well as Greenhouse Gas science. 

Here are a few other reasons you should join us:

  • It’s free! 

  • There will be 10 x two-hour lunchtime sessions delivered over several months.

  • We promise you’ll leave with valuable knowledge and access to Good Farm resources.

  • PLANit Farming is totally independent, so you can expect frank conversations and facts. We’re not selling anything, either! 

  • We’re local and we get it: we invite you to rock up in your farm clothes and promise there won’t be any ‘workshoppy’ stuff.

Previous attendees can’t speak highly enough about the FACCT workshops. 

“Campbell’s talks provide an amazing opportunity for our small farming community… The information he provides is so useful for us in making informed farming choices.” – Kathy 

“Campbell’s talks on Greenhouse Gases and Freshwater Farm Plans are great! So informative, and explained clearly. No biased judgement, just stating the facts. We find these super useful to understand how this might affect our farm business, and it’s a great catch-up with the neighbours every fortnight” – Sami and Laura 

“Campbell’s series of talks is informative and thought-provoking. The topics build upon one another, starting with greenhouse gases and leading to understanding New Zealand soils and being prepared for the upcoming farm plans and other regulation changes…This series of courses will leave you better prepared for the future and better able to understand your particular piece of land and what it needs so you can get the most out of it.” – Thomas
