McIvor moving to OSPRI
Beef + Lamb New Zealand chief executive for the past eight years, Sam McIvor is heading for new pastures at Ospri, which runs NZ’s integrated animal disease management and traceability service.
B+LNZ has called for essential changes to ensure the resulting system does not disproportionately impact sheep and beef farmers.
Chair Andrew Morrison says the Government’s own modelling reinforces the need for changes. He says this modelling shows that sheep and beef farmers will bear the brunt of the proposals.
“Their proposal has caused concern and anger in rural communities up and down the country,” he says.
“The Government must address key questions around equity and fairness before proceeding with emissions pricing.”
