The aim of a NZ arable farming business is to produce healthy, high yielding crops for a variety of markets productively and profitably.
Ever-growing production costs of arable crops exposes a crop farming business to more risk that can have a significant impact on its sustainability. So, to justify the required level of expenditure needed, you have to be sure you can keep counting on your biggest resource - the soil.
Common crops grown in NZ are maize and cereals, like wheat; but in areas where land prices are rising rapidly, we are seeing these crops used as a cover crop amongst cash crops such as potatoes and onions. In intensive crop farming operations like these the soil ecosystem can become fragile, so it needs adequate attention to maintain its performance.
