Lambing

With lambing just around the corner, now is the time to get your docking tools in for servicing. Beat the rush and avoid hold ups by bringing your ear markers and docking irons into store. We will arrange for these to be serviced for you and ready to go for your 2019 docking season.

Thistles

Thinking ahead to your Spring requirements on-farm? Or do you just need some advice on how to control your weeds and thistles? Our Technical Field Officers can help you with choosing the best product, rates of application and timing to suit your farming operation and weed control needs. Talk to your TFO today, or head into Farmlands Gisborne for some expert advice.

Win!

To make your experience in-store as quick and easy as possible, it helps if you can have your Farmlands Card ready to go at the till. It is also important for security, accuracy and efficiency of your transactions that we see your Card.

For all shareholders who present their Farmlands Card at the till this month, you will go in the draw to win a hamper full of goodies to get you through the winter!

Earlier in March we held our popular fishing competition and managed to raise an incredible amount of money. As a result we were able to donate $3,000 each to the Rescue Helicopter Trust and Gisborne Stroke Support Group. Both the Rescue Helicopter Trust and Gisborne Stroke Support Group were blown away with the donation and appreciated the support.

Celebrating our community Congratulations

We would like to congratulate our shareholders, Eugene and Pania King and family of Kiriroa Station, Matawai for taking out the prestigious Ahuwhenua Trophy for Excellence in Maori Farming. We are proud to be supporting you and all of your rural needs!
