One levy

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Industry-good bodies have had a torrid time recently, with some facing backlash from farmers particularly over their stance on emissions pricing and He Waka Eke Noa.

The DairyNZ director elections last year attracted only 18.3% of all levy-paying dairy farmers and 28% on a milk solids basis.

With some key industry-good bodies facing a change of leadership, one farmer is suggesting that the time may be right for a peak pastoral sector levy body for all sectors. Deer Industry NZ is looking for a new chair and chief executive, Beef+Lamb NZ is loking for a new CEO and DairyNZ has a new CEO and a change in chairmanship may also be on the cards. The suggestion may go down well, with many farmers.
