However this old mutt is a little confused as the new appointee does not appear to be that… um, err… young. As the YF media release says, “The 67-year-old brings strong governance experience and extensive industry connections to the role.” Now while some people may claim that 60 is the new 50, in this old mutt’s opinion 67 does not make you a young farmer. Mind you, Robinson replaced yet another not-so-young-farmer on the board, Jeff Grant, a fresh-faced fellow when he first became an MP back in 1987; but would now also well exceed the Young Farmer age limit of 30 years. The Hound suggests YF should refer to appointees Robinson and Grant as Gold (Card) members.
