Full of Surprises

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Staying on Federated Farmers, this week's annual general meeting in Auckland is shaping up to be an interesting one.

One would have thought that with a general election a few months away, the farmer lobby would be keen to present a united front.

There has been much talk about Wayne Langford's push to stay on for another year and whispers of a conspiracy against vice-president Colin Hurst.

But then the Feds have always been full of surprises.

Milking It remembers an occasion many years ago when the media were invited to a luncheon to hear a keynote speaker.

Great, we thought, but it turned out the media were relegated to a bench behind the guests and fed some very ordinary sandwiches while the rest dined - yes - on chicken.

Three clucks for the Feds!
