2024/25 Dairy Statistics: NZ dairy farmers boost production with fewer cows
According to the New Zealand Dairy Statistics 2024/25 report, New Zealand dairy farmers are achieving more with fewer cows.
When questioned about the folly of this stance, the likes of B+LNZ and DairyNZ have claimed 'it is better to be at the table than not' - arguing that any criticism or push back against the current government would not serve the industry well.
However, your old mate suggests that by the looks of the Government's farm emissions proposal, not only were B+LNZ and DairyNZ at the table, they were actually served up as the main course!
Meanwhile, B+LNZ and DairyNZ's very late to the party criticism of the proposed farm emissions plan looks far too little, far too late!
