I've been blown away by how inspirational this farm is with respect to integration of technology, integration of every electrification opportunity imaginable. This is the most interesting and forward thinking farm I've ever been on.

Mike has pulled the future into the present with this. The full scope of electrification showcases a true economically feasible path, and has laid the template for other farmers here in New Zealand and around the world to adopt.

It's really, really exciting, to tell you the truth. It's not going to be very long before the entire New Zealand agricultural system is operating on electricity rather than on expensive, dirty and imported diesel.

Making the very first 100% electric orchard in the world, and 1st to import one of these tractors from the United States. It's exciting stuff.

Mike's got an amazing vision, and I think that the opportunity for that story to then lead to replication is really, really exciting for the industry.

It's pretty fantastic, there is so much innovation on the farm. And of course, it's paying off. It's great to see there's a whole lot of potential for innovation in terms of helping in our climate change transition.
