M. bovis compensation service closes after supporting 1300+ NZ farmers
Another milestone has been reached in the fight against Mycoplasma bovis with the compensation assistance service being wound up after helping more than 1300 farmers.
One B+LNZ levy payer questioned why the organisation was investing with an independent wealth management and investment company.
He suggested that it could be better invested in dairy farms in NZ. Dairy farmers are in line for a record $10/kgMS milk price this season and some analysts believe another $10 could also be on the cards next season.
As B+LNZ chair Kate Acland remarked, the suggestion would have been music to the ears of DairyNZ chair Tracy Brown who was also in attendance.
