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.
He says it is a huge honour to be elected to lead Feds, but adds he is already feeling the weight of responsibility that comes with it.
"Federated Farmers are the largest rural advocacy organisation in the country and farmers are looking to us for strong leadership as they try to navigate their way through an increasingly complex world," Langford says.
South Canterbury mixed arable farmer Colin Hurst was elected as vice-president and North Canterbury arable farmer David Birkett joins the board as arable chair. Sandra Faulkner, Mark Hooper, Toby Williams and Richard McIntyre were all re-elcted to the board.
