It is bird nesting season and FMG's Rural New Zealand Fire Authority endorsed ‘Stop and Pop' campaign is back.

As the ‘Starling Gang' can build a nest in less time than it takes to eat lunch, before starting a tractor farmers are encouraged to ‘stop' and check for nests. When the tractor is stopped, no matter how briefly, ‘popping' the hood to deter birds from nesting is also recommended because nests are the number one cause of tractor fires.

This year's campaign features an animated video as well as a limited number of discount vouchers to purchase a fire extinguisher from CRT, ATS or Farmlands. The popular ‘Stop and Pop' prevention stickers are also back. To view the video and to request a tractor fire pack:
