Andrew Maw
PGG Wrightson – National Manager
Farm Systems

Andrew brings a skills set to PGG Wrightson that is possibly the most versatile of all of the technical team. After 15 years of managing his family’s Mid-Canterbury arable cropping and sheep farm, Andrew completed a BAgSci (Hons) at Lincoln University.

Andrew is the best qualified of the PGG Wrightson technical team in adult education, heading up Agricultural New Zealand’s training programs for the Canterbury West Coast regions in 2002-2003. Work with Kimihia Research Centre expanded his cropping knowledge before Andrew pursued a passion for ruminant nutrition, developing a new territory in the northern South Island for Agrifeeds. Three years of farm consultancy in Australia has evolved Andrew’s whole farm system and farm modelling skills to a level that makes Andrew a key asset to the PGG Wrightson technical team and to our customers.
