International Day of Rural Women: Two DairyNZ Farmers’ Stories
Today, 15 October, is the International Day of Rural Women, which recognises rural women’s contribution to farming, communities and the environment.
When questioned about the folly of this stance, the likes of B+LNZ and DairyNZ have claimed 'it is better to be at the table than not' - arguing that any criticism or push back against the current government would not serve the industry well.
However, your old mate suggests that by the looks of the Government's farm emissions proposal, not only were B+LNZ and DairyNZ at the table, they were actually served up as the main course!
Meanwhile, B+LNZ and DairyNZ's very late to the party criticism of the proposed farm emissions plan looks far too little, far too late!
