Amid the shiny tractors, new sheep breeds and delicious smelling spit roast at the Central Districts Fieldays in Feilding this weekend is a stand featuring different types of pest traps. Visitors to the stand weren't just testing out the lures, they were also hunched over computers finding out about Trap.NZ.

Andrew Saunders told Country Life the free digital support service is connecting thousands of trappers around the country.
