The SMASH team would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all of our supporters, in particular:
our supporters
Key supporter:
DairyNZ
DairyNZ is the industry good organisation representing New Zealand’s dairy farmers. Funded by a levy on milksolids and through government investment, our purpose is to secure and enhance the profitability, sustainability and competitiveness of New Zealand dairy farming.
We deliver value to farmers through leadership, influencing, investing and partnering with other organisations and through our own strategic capability.
Our work includes research and development to create practical on-farm tools, leading on-farm adoption of best practice farming, promoting careers in dairying and advocating for farmers with central and regional government.

FMG
As New Zealand’s leading rural insurer FMG is proud to partner with SMASH and supports the great work it does in bringing small herd farmers together.
Like SMASH, FMG was also founded by farmers for farmers, and as a mutual that works hard to give rural New Zealand a better deal, we too know the importance of sharing specialist knowledge and advice within the farming community.

Waikato Milking Systems
Sharing information, talking to farmers and making better products as a result is why we’ve formed an association with SMASH. Being involved in discussion groups and listening to feedback will provide focus and aid product development. Discussing future needs or simply improving the status quo, just two good reasons for us to be involved with SMASH.
