UK Politician Alistair Carmichael Praises "Positive Spirit" of NZ Farmers
A leading British farming politician says he's impressed with the positive attitude of New Zealand farmers that he met during his recent trip here.
New management at an organisation doesn't always change a rotten, broken culture, which seems especially true of the Wellington bureaucracy, the Gilding On types who remain indifferent to changes on the 9th floor of the Beehive.
However, your old mate hears that changes in HQ at Mystery Creek may bode well for a long-overdue attitude adjustment with Fieldays.
For years, exhibitors at the event have complained about the high-handed indifference they've copped from the crew running NZ's biggest ag event.
Many have stopped attending altogether, fed up wsith spiralling costs, obstructive clipboard carriers and a dubious ROI.
Time will tell if this has changed, but early rumblings are positive!
