Trop de Paris!
OPINION: Your old mate's ear has been chewed off recently by farmers voicing their displeasure with the National Party, particularly relating to how they're treating their farmer base.
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?
