CD Field Days is pround to partner in 2024 with the Manawatu-Rangitikei Rural Family Support Trust which was established to support farming families when times on the farm or within the family are tough.

This can include personal mental well-being, family relationships, farming difficulties, employment relationships, animal welfare concerns, financial difficulties and adverse climatic events and biosecurity incursions.

The Trust is there to help farming families and their community to recover from these challenges and build personal resilience.

We believe that’s a cause worth supporting.
