Abstract

Perhaps just as strange to many grassland farmers as a cow jumping over the moon, would be a farming enterprise in which a combine harvester covers every hectare of the farm in order to gather the income for the business. But this is the lot of the Mid-Canterbury seed producer. Seed production on a specialist Mid-Canterbury farm can be divided into three main operations: planning, growing the crop, then harvesting and handling.
