Fonterra launches farmer-led youth dairy programme in Waikato and Bay of Plenty
A new farmer-led programme aimed at bringing young people into dairy farming is under way in Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
Fonterra, as one of the biggest corporates in the country, has been doing its bit for the community - like contributing to Kickstart Breakfast alongside the Government.
Given the financial strife facing Fonterra shareholders, should the co-op pull out of such initiatives until dairy prices improve?
This will keep a bit more money in farmers' pockets. And, isn't funding social welfare initiatives the job of the government?
