OPINION: The Hound hears that tension was in the air at the recent Silver Fern Farms AGM, with the board reportedly dazed and confused at why their CEO would continue to hammer farmers to lower their emissions in perpetuity, without being able to state a dollar value for any of the touted premiums.
Apparently, these elite global customers don't give a damn that sheep and beef emissions in New Zealand have been slashed in half already.
The co-op itself clearly missed the memo that a million stock units a year are being displaced by swaths of pine trees.
At least there will be no emissions when there is no stock left to process.
