Battle for milk
OPINION: Fonterra may be on the verge of selling its consumer business in New Zealand, but the co-operative is not keen on giving any ground to its competitors in the country.
The ex-dairy boss is – among a myriad business ventures – a director of chicken farm Heyden Farms.
This company has been in the news lately for its bad animal welfare practices (‘colony’ chickens) and now its eggs have been pulled from Countdown supermarkets nationwide.
As your old mate’s confidant opined: “it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost for Hank!” Perhaps a $3.90 dairy payout is not so bad, eh Henry.
