DairyNZ supports vocational education reforms
DairyNZ is supporting a proposed new learning model for apprenticeships and traineeships that would see training, education, and pastoral care delivered together to provide the best chance of success.
While farmers get to vote off directors - like they did earlier this year with former chair Andrew Morrison - they have no say in staff at the levy-funded organisation.
Feedback to yours truly, from many dissatisfied levy payers, is that McIvor should follow the lead of his mate former DairyNZ chief executive Tim Mackle and move on.
McIvor has been in the top job at B+LNZ for coming up 8 years and the calls are growing louder that his time should be up.
There are a lot of grumpy of farmers who are less than happy about his role in leading B+LNZ - especially in relation to the deeply unpopular and controversial He Waka Eke Noa deal with the government.
