OPINION: Former DairyNZ chief executive Tim Mackle apparently had a dozen job offers in the past few weeks - all from farmers offering him farm assistant jobs!

Mackle stepped down as the head of DairyNZ last week after 15 years in the role.

In his final media interview, Mackle told Dairy News that one of those job offers was particularly inviting.

His brother has offered him a job as farm assistant on the family farm in Kaikoura and it could be the first cab off the rank for him.

Mackle says he plans to take a break before deciding on his next move.
