OPINION: Your canine crusader was right on the money about the growing tensions at Fed Farmers over meat and wool chair William Beetham's perceived conflict of interest with his Feds role and directorship at meat company Silver Fern Farms.

According to reports, things came to a head pretty fast following the recent release of the Government's proposals for pricing farm emissions.

Feds has not been backward in voicing its strong opposition and condemnation of the plan.

Meanwhile, other players in the industry - including SFF, it seems - still want to cuddle-up to the Ardern administration and appease its farm emissions demands.

Meantime, the question many farmers were asking about where Beetham's loyatlies lie have now probably been answered with his sudden and rather dramatic resignation late last month as Feds' meat and wool chair.
