Dairy Investment – Why now?

As you may be aware, MyFarm last syndicated a dairy property in 2014 and have since diversified into the horticulture industry.

Recently we held a webinar in our “Summer Series” – Dairy Investment – Why now? During this lunchtime session, Andrew Watters explained how MyFarm has the confidence to re-enter this sector and why we are so passionate about this industry.

Con Williams then explored the outlook of the dairy industry through a high-level presentation we have included for you below.

We were also fortunate to be joined by Canterbury dairy farmer, Athol New, from Tullba (Dairy Farm Management Company) who summarised their objectives “to generate good outcomes both for the environment, our cows and our people”. MyFarm and Tullba are looking to enter in a lease arrangement together, and Athol describes why this model will work for them, and what Tullba are looking to achieve out of the Partnership.

For anyone with an interest in the dairy sector and it’s potential, we recommend you have a listen.

As we know, farming is a cyclical business. At present, we have the benefit of a low exchange rate, reasonable commodity prices, falling interest rates and farm values which are probably trending up, all of which is good. But farming families with foresight are looking through these good times and planning for the long term.

For many New Zealanders—especially those in farming—income can be volatile, swinging with weather, commodity prices, and global demand. Investing in commercial property is a proven strategy to diversify and stabilise returns. Unlike farming, where income is tied to production and market cycles, commercial property offers the potential for steady, lease-based income and in the right circumstances, long-term capital appreciation. This 101 Insight seeks to demystify the fundamentals of commercial property investment, focusing on key concepts, value drivers, and the importance of timing.
