Federated Farmers urge government to honour KiwiSaver promise
Federated Farmers is calling on the Government to deliver on its pre-election promise to change the KiwiSaver rules to help young farmers get their foot on the farming ladder.
There will be questions around why ACT and not National. Whatever the reasons, it's a prize catch for ACT.
The high-profile Manawatu farmer is well liked in the farming community as a straight shooter and is also a regular commentator in the media on farming-related issues. In his last opinion piece for the Feds, Hoggard has described the Government's proposed emissions pricing plan as "unacceptable".
Meanwhile, Hoggard's Twitter account, with over 3,300 followers, is now locked. His Twitter profile has changed to "Opinionated dairy farmer from Kiwitea".
