Fonterra Farm Visit

We had the most wonderful experience of visiting Fonterra Dairy Farm. A big thank you to Kim Robinson who organised the trip as well as Steve and Jeff the farmers who hosted us. We learnt so much and completed a challenging worksheet which taught us that you need to be a good mathematician to be a farmer. We also had a couple of challenge activities to complete while we were there. We set up electric fences to separate a paddock into 3 even areas for the cows to graze in and we moved some new born baby calves from their mothers into the sheds. Once again a huge thank you to Kim.
