Feds exodus

Feds exodus

OPINION: Expect some big changes in the Federated Farmers leadership team at their annual meeting next month.

Three board members - vice president Karen Williams and board members Chris Allen and Chris Lewis - are standing down.

Milking It understands Feds dairy chair Wayne Langford will become the new vice president at its annual meeting in Auckand on July 8.

Tradition dictates that the vice president takes over the presidency after three years. Current president Andrew Hoggard steps down in July 2023.

Why Williams decided to step down just one year away from being eligible for the top job is a mystery.
