"Our" business?
OPINION: One particular bone the Hound has been gnawing on for years now is how the chattering classes want it both ways when it comes to the success of NZ's dairy industry.
Speaking at the Northern Dairy Development Trust Conference in Whangarei today, Steel said things were looking much better now than in December.
Global Dairy Trade auction prices have risen three times this year.
Steel told about 120 farmers at the conference that whole milk powder prices were up 13% in the three auctions this year.
“It’s pretty much a recognition that NZ weather has been awful; clearly the markets recognised that weather had been dry from November to December,” Steel says.
