PREPARING FOR ASSESSMENT
Taking the stress out of your annual assessment
Every dairy farmer in New Zealand has an annual assessment, as required by the Ministry of Primary Industries. It’s how we can prove that your milk is safe for consumption. We also use it to prove that your milk is world-class, to help us with selling it.
You’ll be contacted 42 days before your assessment with a date and time.
