Be afraid
OPINION: Your old mate hears some of the recent uptick in farmer confidence has slipped since the political polls started leading a bit to the left, away from the current coalition of National, Act and NZ First.
Said colleague was recently advised of an event on their regenerative dairy farm in the Manawatu.
He made contact with the “farmers” and asked if it was OK to do a story for this fine publication and was told that would be dandy.
Imagine his surprise when he then got a note from the regen proponents saying … “It is important for you to know that we do not consent to you writing a story about our farm or family. We would require a full draft of anything you intend to be published to be sent for our approval prior to print.”
How come regenerative disciples want to control the narrative rather than offer good science and results to further their cause?
