Silver Fern Farms roadshow highlights global demand
The second event in the Silver Fern Farms ‘Pasture to Plate Roadshow’ landed in Feilding last week, headed by chair and King Country farmer, Anna Nelson, and chief executive Dan Boulton.
Oram, a bicycle-riding lay minister from Auckland, is a regular critic of NZ farming, forever claiming the sector is 'not doing enough' on the climate change front.
He recently wrote a vitriolic, scathing article lambasting the recommendation of the He Waka Eke Noa proposals - of which SFF is a key supporter - for being, among other things, "remarkably irresponsible", "devoid of any reference to emissions reduction" and "entirely self-serving".
The long-time SFF shareholder and supplier is so incensed that SFF is paying (which will be many thousands of dollars) Oram, out of his and other shareholders' pockets, that he is refusing to attend the forum.
