King's Honour stuff

Written by  Milking It
King's Honour stuff

OPINION: The release of the King's Birthday Honours list would normally be Milking It's cue to moan about how agriculture, the backbone of the economy, had again been overlooked.

However, this time ag got a look-in, which makes a nice change.

Among the 'gonged' is Professor Alison Stewart, current CEO of FAR, who was made a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit - for services to plant science and arable.

Congrats also to Peter Nation, former Fieldays CEO for getting an ONZM.

Mr Nation would have been surprised if he read Stuff's latest excuse for a farming rag though, which quoted him liberally as "Fieldays CEO" - a job he vacated 6 months ago!

Shows how much of a stuff Stuff gives about farming!
