Fonterra launches dairy youth programme with Growing Future Farmers
In partnership with Growing Future Farmers (GFF), Fonterra says it is increasing support for young people entering the dairy industry with a new two-year programme.
Former director Stuart Nattrass has vetoed the independent selection process to stand as a self-nominated candidate after securing the nomination of at least 35 shareholders.
His group of nominators are interesting -- they include a former Federated Farmers chairman, a former Feds dairy chairman and a former Fonterra board member.
A well-known corporate farmer from Bay of Plenty and others are also on the list.
