Chris Boom

Originally from the Waikato, Chris has been working with Northland sheep and beef farmers since 2003.

Chris is passionate about getting the pasture and animal balance right and believes this is the foundation to productive and profitable farming systems. Farmax is a tool he uses to optimise farm systems.

Working for AgResearch, prior to joining AgFirst in 2007, his experience in sheep and beef research has given Chris specialist knowledge in:

 

• Sheep and beef stock policy analysis
• Grazing management
• Pasture development
• Cattle growth and parasite control

 

Chris has been involved in a variety of successful projects with farmers and farmer groups including Landcorp’s Beef Cow 4 Profit project, Northland Profitable Beef Finishing Focus Farm and Northland Profitable Breeding Cow Focus Farm. He currently represents Beef + Lamb New Zealand in Northland.

Chris is a member of the NZ Institute of Primary industry management and is a Farmax registered consultant.
