Rise in farmland values near Hawern tied to dairy boom
An Ashburton resident returning from Taranaki notes land within a few miles of Hawern once easily purchasable at 12 to 19 pounds per acre now commands up to 350 pounds. The rise is linked to expanding dairy farming in the county. The district shows widespread sowing of winter wheat and oats, with grass grubs damaging oats and crops emerging unevenly due to last harvest weather. A farmer says seed selection and soil variety influence yield and quality, advocating rotating seed every two years.
