Greenpeace in trouble?
OPINION: Is it the beginning of the end for Greenpeace?
As Associate Minister for Agriculture and the Environment, Andrew Hoggard has a number of delegations to focus on.
ACT MP Andrew Hoggard may no longer be hands-on every day at his dairy farm at Kiwitea in the Manawatu, but when Parliament is sitting he still gets up at 5am and checks the messages that have come in from the dairy shed at his property.
OPINION: Kia ora and a warm welcome to everyone making a living off the land, contributing to our regional and national well-being. For regulars who make Field Days, a 'must attend', it's welcome back!
The biggest agricultural expo in the lower North Island, Central Districts Field Days, gets underway on March 14 and organisers are promising a great event.
Central Districts field days attract more than 27,000 people each March for three days to Feilding in the Manawatu.
The first robotic milker in a southern hemisphere high school is running at Feilding High School, Manawatu.
