The organisers of the inaugural two-day Pasture Summit have got it wrong in asking journalists to pay a $380 registration fee.
Attendees at the inaugural Pasture Summit in Hamilton this week should ask one pointed question to the organisers: which joker thought it a good idea to charge journalists a registration fee?

Our advice; it’s still not too late. Allow journalists to cover the Ashburton event free of charge, as is the norm for all dairy conferences in this country.
