Greetings and best wishes for this school year

Greetings to all students and teachers. We at Ag Heritage Museum look forward to another school year and many school visits.

One of the most important things I could possibly tell each of you at this point is that Fonterra is once again willing to help out schools visiting Ag Heritage by paying between 50 to 90% of bus transportation costs and provide morning snacks upon your groups arrival here at Ag Heritage. Fonterra is keen to help kids get out to the Agricultural Heritage Museum to learn about our farming heritage especially dairy farming.

Fonterra visited the National Dairy Museum shortly after it opened. They were impressed with what we had done in the Dairy Museum with the emphasis on the history of dairying in New Zealand from the "on the farm" perspective.

Fonterra believes school children should know our dairying history and hopes the National Dairy Museum will create an interest in dairying that will inspire children to consider dairying when they choose a career.
