Federated Farmers Urges Farmers to Vote on November 7
With less than a week to go before voters choose the next government, Federated Farmers has a simple message to its members - get out and vote.
Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre Chair Rick Powdrell says it’s a sensible decision for the country and aligns the company better to service the needs of global markets in a modern world.
"New Zealand farmer-shareholders will continue to own 50% of the cooperative and will enjoy the benefits of access to the growing Chinese market,” says Powdrell.
"This is exactly what the farmer-shareholders wanted, with a majority voting last month for the deal to be approved.”
