Spend for your school
We're local first. That means we're making sure we give back to our local communities and the future farmers of Mid Canterbury.

Our Spend for Your School programme offers you the chance to win $500 for a primary school of your choice, with each month proudly sponsored by one of our Ruralco Merchants. For every 10 transactions with businesses who accept the Ruralco Card you get one entry into the prize draw. 

Plus you get great discounts and real value when you choose to use your Ruralco Card.

Neumanns Tyres

Merchant partner for August is Neumanns Tyres

For 80 years, Neumanns Tyres has been driven to keep Mid Canterbury moving. From humble beginnings in Ashburton back in 1945, their business has grown into a trusted name for generations of local families, farmers, and businesses alike.

Proudly family-owned and 100% Kiwi-run, Neumanns Tyres is more than just a place to buy tyres, it’s a team of local experts who understand the needs of the community because they’re part of it too.
Whether it’s fitting new tyres for your ute, keeping the family car safe on the road, or providing round-the-clock support for farm machinery during the busy harvest season, the Neumanns team is committed to delivering honest advice, top brands, and five-star service every time.

Throughout eight decades of change, Neumanns Tyres has stayed true to its core values of quality, reliability, and genuine local care. That’s why generations of Mid Canterbury families keep coming back and why the team continues to invest in the people and places that make this region strong.

Supporting local schools through the Spend for Your School initiative is another way Neumanns Tyres gives back to the community that has supported them for so long. Every tyre fitted, every wheel aligned, and every farm call-out charged on your Ruralco Card helps drive dollars straight back into local classrooms, creating better opportunities for local kids to thrive. From their very first days to their 80th birthday and beyond, Neumanns Tyres remains proudly local, proudly family-owned, and always driven to keep you moving.
