Any farmer will tell you farming isn’t an eight-hours-a-day-business; more often than not breakdowns or malfunctions in machinery or technology take place in the hours of darkness or during weekends.

“Being able to obtain service, when you need it, is a critical component of dairy farming today,” says Daniel Peake who, along with wife Aimee, own and operate Waikato based McGregor Farm Services.

“We bought the business in 2017 and our mantra has always been to provide full back-up for the products and services we provide – and that means 24/7,” says Daniel.

“Outside of the cows, McGregors either sells or services most aspects essential to modern dairy farming.

“We are well equipped with the skills to advise, design and plan your new farm dairy – from the milking system, through to building layout, effluent, electrical and plumbing.

“Our team are specialists in the supply and maintenance of water pumps, water reticulation and dairy effluent systems, Deepwell lifting and submersible bore pumps, industrial pumps, trenching, pipe laying and pond stirrers.

“We stock a wide range of dairy detergents and chemicals along with filtration, water treatment and UV sterilisation technologies.

“Inhouse expertise extends to stainless steel welding and we also stock a comprehensive range of dairy rubberware, drench and house hold water systems.”

Daniel says the company also provides advice and solutions to help farmers remain compliant with the raft of dairy regulations.

Based in Matamata and Morrinsville, McGregors service the greater Waikato.
