Groundspread NZ is made up of seven fantastic branches around the country. Branches bring together the group of groundspread operators in your area who know the challenges and demands of your specific typography and region. They meet regularly for meetings, trainings, and events. You should contact your nearest branch for more information about becoming part of your local network, we are a very welcoming bunch and encourage all new members to give us a call.
For all general enquiries, please contact the Executive Officer on eo@groundspreadnz.com
Covering the top of the North, this branch has a rich history and we would love to strengthen the network in this area. To do this, we need your support. Please enquire about becoming a member today.

The Waikato Groundspread Fertiliser Association (WGFA) is an active branch of the NZ Groundspread Association regionally located in the Central North Island incorporating South Auckland/Franklin, Waikato/King Country, Bay Of Plenty and the Central Plateau.

Central Districts covers the bottom of the North Island, going as far up as Gisborne on the east coast. On the west coast, it covers Taihape, across to Ohakune. This includes all of Wairarapa, Manawatu and Wellington. Geographically it is a large area, and we encourage new members within the catchment to join.
Our meeting dates will be published as they are set. We usually have a meal and drinks after a branch meeting. We have a friendly, family orientated branch with all new members very welcome.
As the largest branch in New Zealand covering from Kaikoura to Oamaru and from the coast to the main divide, we cover a large portion of the most intensely farmed and heavily regulated farmland in New Zealand.
Our branch is very welcoming to any and everyone who wants to be part of the industry. We have a young and progressive committee looking at ways in which to improve the industry and the services that our members receive. If you would like to join us or come along to a meeting do not hesitate to get in touch with any of the numbers listed below.
