Sheppard Agriculture

Sheppard Agriculture operates with passion and pride in agriculture - the foundation of NZ's prosperity. Sheep, beef and dairy farming are synonomous with NZ and can be argued to be the reason why we have the our "clean green" image. NZ farmers lead the world with respect to their efficiency of production, use of a wide range of technology and understanding and care for the environment.

Farming in NZ is totally deregulated (one of the few countries in the world where this is the case). Consequently the profitability of farming is not buffered by government intervention and with an enormous range of production, human resource, environmental and market variables to consider in managing a farm business, farmers often seek independent consultants to support the profitability and growth of their businesses.
Sheppard Agriculture aims to be at the forefront of the industry by being quick to identify trends emerging, evaluating new technology and in providing clients with an succint apprasal of new legislation that could impact on thier businesses. We pride ourselves on being innovative and forward thinking with an ability to challenge clients in a positive way to meet the demands of the future.

Sheppard agriculture opperates at all levels with its clients gaining an understanding of the goals driving the business owners, the financial position they may be in and the opportunities or constraints these may have on the profitability and growth of the business. We opperate in partnership with our clients to support them realise their personal aspirations. In a nutshell, we look for opportunities for profitability, growth and success.

In countries where agriculture is regulated (most places), farmers rarely have consultants working in partnership with them. Rather they have advisors telling them what they can and can't do.
