OPINION: A mate of your canine crusader cheekily suggests a recent ministerial visit - crowed about by state farmer Landcorp's (or Pāmu as it likes to be known) public relations department - was highly symbolic.

OPINION: This old mutt has been pointing out forever just what a dog with fleas - as both a business model and a return on capital investment - state farmer Landcorp is.

Westpac NZ and Pāmu claim they have signed New Zealand’s most comprehensive Sustainability-Linked Loan to date, also the largest in the agricultural sector, and the first involving a state-owned enterprise.

OPINION: Speaking of woke, Government-owned entities that love wasting public money and producing fluffy PR pieces, the Hound sees that Landcorp - known as Pāmu - has just released its 2021 annual report.

Staff from Pāmu or Landcorp dairy farms have been busy helping with the recovery operation around Westport.

OPINION: Your old mate has long argued Landcorp’s farming business – Pamu – is a bigger dog than he is.

Running an organic dairy farm is a bit like living on an island where one has to be completely self-sufficient.

Falling land and livestock prices have hit the state-owned farmer Landcorp – known as Pāmu – in the financial year to 30 June.

State-owned farmer Pāmu has been able to reduce nitrogen input on its Waimakariri dairy farm while maintaining milk and grass production, by using fertigation – the application of fertiliser through irrigation.

Your canine crusader notes that the woke folk at Landcorp – sorry Pāmu – were recently crowing about recording a net profit after tax of $68 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2019.
