Arable advocacy?
OPINION: Spare a thought for the arable farmer, squeezed on one side by soft global prices and on the other by limits on further yield increases.
Rumour has it that one of his original farmer supporters - who was even a nominee when Morrison first stood for the board of BLNZ - had become one of his biggest critics.
In fact, Morrison's former supporter had become so discouraged with the former chair's leadership and the direction he was taking the organisation that he became avid supporter of his successful challenger, Geoff Young.
Even more staggering, he was even proposing a vote of no confidence in Morrison as chair and the whole board of BLNZ at the annual meeting.
Guess this gives meaning to the old saying, 'One day you are the top rooster and the next day a feather duster!'
