Farmers living in the Western North Island will be able to vote for their local farmer director – you can access the candidate profiles here for Scott Gower and Andrew Stewart, and the envelope containing the Notice of Meeting and Election (which will be smaller than previous years) will contain full instructions on how to vote.
Reminder: New Zealand Meat Board Annual Meeting and voting information

Calling on farmers to complete survey to find the real cost of FE
Whether your farm has been affected by facial eczema (FE) or not, we want to hear from you. B+LNZ is looking for farmers from all livestock sectors to help uncover the true cost of FE on NZ farms. The survey will take about 15 minutes of your time and all those who participate go into a draw to win a $250 Greenlea Meats voucher. Each response improves our understanding of FE’s financial impact on farms and across regions, ensuring future solutions are cost-effective and viable for you. Take the survey today and be part of the solution.
