New NZ Vegetable Council to Strengthen Growers' Voice
Strengthening the voice of vegetable growers on "big ticket items" will be the immediate focus of newly formed New Zealand Vegetable Council (NZVeg), says inaugural chair Alison Stewart.
However, this time ag got a look-in, which makes a nice change.
Among the 'gonged' is Professor Alison Stewart, current CEO of FAR, who was made a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit - for services to plant science and arable.
Congrats also to Peter Nation, former Fieldays CEO for getting an ONZM.
Mr Nation would have been surprised if he read Stuff's latest excuse for a farming rag though, which quoted him liberally as "Fieldays CEO" - a job he vacated 6 months ago!
Shows how much of a stuff Stuff gives about farming!
