Experience Agriculture in New Zealand
Join West Virginia farmers and Farm Bureau
members for an exciting tour of farms and
agribusinesses in New Zealand in 2013. New
Zealand is a global leader in beef and sheep
production, and New Zealand farmers practice
some of the most impressive conservation methods
on the planet. This tour will take participants to
both New Zealand islands and showcase beef and
sheep production, commercial deer farming, natural
resource conservation practices, and agricultural
marketing strategies used in New Zealand. It
will also give participants an opportunity to
tour Auckland, the capital city of New Zealand,
and spend a day with a farmer selected for each
participant.
Tour dates and final tour price remain subject
to change until deposits have been paid, but the
tentative dates for the tour are November 25 December 6, 2013. The cost per participant is
approximately $6700.00, which includes airfare,
hotels, all transportation, all admission fees, and
most meals during the trip. It also includes a
traditional New Zealand Thanksgiving Dinner
prepared especially for our group. To make
reservations or to get more information about the
tout, visit the WVFB homepage at www.wvfb.org
