Dairy power
OPINION: The good times felt across the dairy sector weren't lost at last week's Beef + Lamb NZ annual meeting.
These all appear to be asking B+LNZ to stand up for farmers.
It will also be interesting to see if current chair Andrew Morrison is re-elected or knocked out by challenger Geoff Young.
One particular point of interest is that Remit 9 (asking for B+LNZ to advocate for sheep and beef farming in the first instance, instead of being wined and dined by dairy), was somehow "missed off" the agenda.
Apparently this remit will now be discussed by the board in their "own time".
A mate of yours truly suggests that perhaps farmer accusations of B+LNZ becoming 'more and more like a socialist government department every day' aren't so outlandish after all?
