$89,000/ha. A new Canterbury dairy record. That’s the number everyone will repeat this month. But a Rotorua sale the same week produced a better $/kgMS result, at a fraction of the headline price.
$120 million of ready capital walked away from one Canterbury auction with nothing to show for it. And right now we have active capital desperate to be deployed around the country, if you are thinking of selling, now is the time to show that capital where to land.
