Come and chat to the DairyNZ team
DairyNZ's team is looking forward to catching up with Southland and Otago dairy farmers at the Southern Field Days in Waimumu near Gore next month.
A tweetfrom Fonterra’s official twitter account said the industry has lost “a close friend, leader and advocate of our industry much too soon”.
“Our thoughts and deep gratitude for all that Michael contributed go to the Spaans family.”
Spaans stepped down from the Fonterra board last year due to poor health. He remained chairman of DairyNZ.
Spaans farmed at Te Aroha and also had farming interests in the South Island, Chile and the US.
