Federated Farmers of New Zealand

 

Manawatu/Rangitikei

Introduction

Federated Farmers Manawatu/Rangitikei has more than 1200 members in a region that extends from Ohakune in the north to Otaki in the south.

The team is proactive and productive, and has faced more than its fair share of adverse events over the past few years. The team has taken a leadership role through these challenging times and has developed a close working relationship with both the Rangitikei and Manawatu district councils and Horizons Regional Council.

The province strongly believes that if it is a local issue, it needs a local voice. It is the voice of farming in the Manawatu/Rangitikei region.

Main Issues

One Plan, local government rates, regulations, telecommunications and power.

Meetings

Provincial executive meetings are held on the last Thursday evening of every second month. They take place at Farming House, Queen St, Palmerston North. Other meetings of interest to members are held around the region when required.

Farm Day

Farm Day is part of the Federations national initiative to extend a welcoming hand to non farmers. During Farm Day farmers explain how they produce great food and care for their animals, removing some of the mystery from farming.

Farm Day 2010 is to be held on Sunday, 28 March. Click here for local details.
