As Stafford Agriculture continues to grow, we are pleased to introduce Contract Farming as a new service for the 2025/26 season and beyond. This development builds on our commitment to delivering high-quality agricultural operations across Mid-Canterbury, while offering farmers a more streamlined, consistent approach to managing their cropping and pasture systems. Contract farming allows us to work closely with landowners and managers to deliver a tailored package of operations — from primary cultivation through to drilling, fertilizer applications and seasonal maintenance. By bringing all key tasks under one coordinated service, we can help reduce the pressure of peak workloads, improve timeliness, and support more consistent paddock performance year after year. This service is particularly suited to: Farms looking to outsource full cropping programmes Landowners seeking reliable seasonal management Properties requiring consistent cultivation and drilling timing Clients wanting a single point of contact for all key operations Our approach combines modern, well-maintained machinery, GPS-guided accuracy and the same attention to detail we apply across all of our contracting work. As an owner-operator business, we take pride in clear communication, careful planning and delivering work as if we were doing it for our own land. Over the coming months, we will continue refining our contract farming offering and speaking with clients who wish to secure a place for the season ahead. If you are interested in discussing how contract farming could support your operation, we welcome you to get in touch.
