Farmlands chief executive Peter Reidie says say their first priority has been people – staff and shareholders and they are providing co-ordinated assistance to the affected communities through Federated Farmers.

He says all Farmland stores are open, although some are on reduced hours. Reidie warns that there may be supply issues to some stores in the days and weeks to come. He says they are working with suppliers to find out exactly how they plan to deliver to Farmlands, however road, rail and sea freight are all reporting delays.

Reidie says they are taking a common sense approach to this and are working together to try and create minimal disruption to our shareholders in-store while supporting them on-farm.
