After delivering a strong financial year, rural trader PGG Wrightson says the coming months will depend on customer confidence and weather.
PGG Wrightson has recommitted to continuing its support for the IHC Calf & Rural Scheme.

"Through the years, this rural donation scheme has raised over $41 million for IHC, funds that have made a transformative impact on the lives of those it serves," Newbold adds. "We're proud of our long assocaition with this fantastic cause."
