“Chew the Fat”
2025-03-04 10:00 - 12:00 (Pacific/Auckland)
What’s front of mind for you at the moment?
We hope it’s that ever looming DRY around our region at the present. Though sometimes we’d like to chuck our heads in the sand it’s probably going to catch us out in the long run.
The Ruapehu-Whanganui Rural Support Trust would like to invite you and your crew to come for brunch and “CHEW THE FAT” about the current dry we find ourselves in.
Share what you’re doing to mitigate it, ask a local vet to if you’re on track with your stock management or get some needed facts from local rural reps.
Or just come for a tasty feed and “chew the fat” with us, we’ve got BIG ears( and hearts).
We’ll be sharing some things we think should be front of mind for you.
So come along and say gidday, it would be great to see you Taumarunui PGG Wrightson Retail and Water,
31 Miriama St, Taumarunui
Tuesday 4th March
10am -12pm
