]]> There has been a lot of coverage in the media in recent times about the future difficulty of converting land to dairy in Southland. There are some specific areas of Southland that this statement is true, however in most other areas land use change to dairying is still more than achievable. The dairy conversions Farm Forward have project managed in recent times, see a conversion cost of $8,000 to $12,000/ha depending on the current level of infrastructure already on the farm. It is still hard to beat a well thought out and executed dairy conversion with all the infrastructure where you need it.
