Big news for New Zealand farmers! QCONZ is excited to share our new FreshWater Farm Plan Tool. It’s a digital helper that makes it easy for farmers to create their freshwater farm plans quickly.
This tool is a step-by-step guide, helping farmers follow the rules and take care of the environment on their farms. We have kept the cost to a minimum and kept the tool as simple as possible, so even if you’re not a computer whiz, you can figure it out.
Because it’s all digital and keeps up with the latest rules, farmers can save time and focus on other important jobs. To check out all the cool things our FreshWater Farm Plan Tool can do, visit freshwaterfarmplan.co.nz
QCONZ is here to help New Zealand farmers do the right things for the environment and keep farming strong.
