For many young New Zealanders in agriculture, owning a farm is the ultimate dream but it’s also one of the biggest challenges in our industry today.
How do you actually make it happen? What does the journey from ambition to ownership look like?

Join us for an engaging panel discussion that breaks down the pathway to first farm ownership - covering the legal, financial, and practical realities, as well as stories from young farmers who are already making it happen.

Our expert panel will explore:

  • Legal Structures: Understanding the right legal structure is critical for first-time farm buyers to protect their interests, manage risk, and plan succession effectively.
  • Financial: What banks and lenders look for, how to structure funding and how to prepare yourself financially
  • Investment pathways: Creative entry points for first-time buyers, including equity partnerships and innovative ownership models
  • Real-world experience: The personal journey of a young farmer who has successfully secured ownership: the steps, challenges, and lessons learned along the way

This is a unique opportunity to hear insights from professionals and peers who can share the inside track on moving from sharemilking, contract milking, or farm management into ownership.

Whether you’re just starting out or actively planning your first purchase, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge, inspiration, and strategies to help map your own journey towards farm ownership.

Light drinks and nibbles will be provided.

Please RSVP by Friday, 3rd October, with any dietary requirements.
