Water and farm open day

In conjunction with MHV Water, Align will open its Longfield farm just south of Ashburton to the public on February 13.
A spokeswoman for MHV Water said balancing environmental, social and economic sustainability is critical as the farming community continues to seek improved water quality and environmental outcomes.  
It was always top of mind as farmers and industry worked together in farm management and planning, especially when it comes to water quality and sustainable use. 
“Our farming community is committed to implementing good management practices to help achieve improved water quality and other environmental outcomes while concurrently enjoying the success of thriving businesses.”
She said MHV Water and Align Farms were proud to showcase such a business through the open gate field day.
The day would feature a farm walk with industry experts at Align Longfield, 1037 Rangitata Highway, Hinds, starting at 10am. 
“This is an open invitation to see first-hand the hard work being done in the agricultural sector to ensure that production goals and profit are achieved in balance with environmental goals.”
