The partnership is made up of Zayn, who is on-farm, and Natalie, who works full-time off farm but rears all calves and relief-milks. We are going into our second year of contract milking and are looking for two new staff members (a 2IC and a dairy assistant).
Zayn grew up in town, and discovered a passion for farming after finishing school. He studied at Lincoln University, completing Diplomas in Ag and in Farm Management. He has worked in dry-stock and dairy processing industries before pursuing dairy farming. He has been very involved within NZ Young Farmers, taking the win for the Taranaki/Manawatu at the 2023 National YF fencing tournament alongside Natalie. He was also the 2024 Taranaki/Manawatu Grand Finalist at the Young Farmer of the Year competition. These experiences have led Zayn to be passionate about motivating and encouraging other young people in the ag industry.
Natalie grew up rurally in Hawkes Bay, and works full-time as a researcher with the Riddet Institute at Massey University, with a PhD focusing on milk protein digestion. Her work has been recognized internationally at the 2024 World Dairy Summit in France. She is on-farm when she can be, and handles the calf-rearing side of things.
We are a driven couple looking for a like-minded team to achieve another successful year of farming.

I am currently a second-year university student at Lincoln University studying towards a Bachelor of Agriculture. I have been brought up on a mixed-arable farm in Mid Canterbury allowing me to gain an interest in the agriculture sector. Growing up I was involved with sheep work, driving tractors with implements (cambridge and heavy rollers, cultivators, grain cartage trailers and tedders), roughing and general farm jobs. My first summer out of high school I worked for a local contractor carting bales, raking and tedding. In the summer of 2024/25, I did my university work experience on a dairy farm, milking cows, feeding calves, and doing other general farm work. I am currently looking for a job for the summer of 2025/26 on a sheep or beef farm in Canterbury. I am keen to learn about this industry to further my knowledge of agriculture and further my practical skills with working with different animals and systems.3

We are highly motivated people who are hard workers in good physical condition. We discovered farm work during our travels and love it. We both love working with animals as much as harvesting crops. We have different experiences such as planting, harvesting, we have already done fencing, are often busy feeding animals and for my part have experience on a pig breeding farm and milking cows.11

Ag Assist is free to use because we believe the food & fibre sector deserves a more connected and efficient way of working. In the future, we may introduce premium listings once the platform has grown and fully meets the industry’s needs. For now, your feedback is invaluable in helping us shape that journey.
Ag Assist made a difference
"Highly recommend to others in the agri sector."
Selene H
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
I book workers for when I need them!
“Ag Assist transformed our farm’s staffing requirements. As a part-time labour solution, it’s economically sound for us, I don’t have to go looking for jobs to fill in their day. I book for exactly what and when I require them, and that is what we pay for!”
Stuart M
Sheep & Beef Farmer, Canterbury
Ag Assist takes the guesswork out of finding workers.
“Seeing their profile, other farmer comments and ratings just puts a lot of trust in the system. It’s a great platform to find short-term workers, to fill holes or even seasonal work. Be confident knowing that there’s quality workers on there to help you out in the time of need.“
Vaughan B
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
Attracting new skilled staff on a short-term basis was impossible!
“Ag Assist allowed us to fill these positions temporarily with skilled, motivated, and reliable staff at short notice. The platform was easy to use and allowed us to see the pool of available workers and then book a couple of workers who best suited our needs, to carry us through to the end of the season.”
Anna
Ag Assist Worker
I want to connect with a network of Canterbury farms.
“Being from Waikato, Ag Assist allowed me to gain practical experience alongside my studies by giving me flexibility to choose my work hours. It helped facilitate my on-farm learning but also kept my parents pleased with my commitment to study!”
Will
Ag Assist Worker
I found a way to get my farming fix and earn money.
“Balancing my 9 – 5 job with my passion for farming was made easy with Ag Assist. The flexibility of work hours allowed me to milk before and after work satisfying my itch while earning extra income. Plus working on various farm allowed me to experience different operations firsthand, enriching my knowledge and skills in the field.”
Jenna M
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
I plan and book staff in advance.
“Three days prior to mating my Herd Manager broke his ankle. After reworking my staffing roster I needed some supplementary help to cover gaps. The Ag Assist availability calendar allowed me to plan and book staff in advance, which was instant peace of mind. No housing was required, purely drive in/ drive out.”
Reece M
Ag Assist Worker
I have built my network and connections in Agriculture.
“I have been with Ag Assist from the beginning. Studying an agricultural degree Ag Assist has given me opportunities to work on a variety of properties and grow my skills, expertise and networks in dairy, sheep & beef and horticultural industries.”
