Between 1973 and 1975 four local pastoral leases applied for and were granted reclassification of their lease to crown renewable lease tenure, which allows the leasee the right to purchase the fee simple (the freehold title). This was followed by a dramatic reversal. The land settlement board, between 1975 and 1977, declined three official applications. … Read more

The end of the 1984/85 meat processing season saw the withdrawal of Supplementary Minimum Price payments, while at the same time sheep farmers faced increased killing charges and steadily increasing farm working costs and overhead expenses. The pastoral farmers had responded magnificently to the various Government incentives to increase production, but the meat exporting companies … Read more

Civilisation has survived for thousands of years using primitive forms of agriculture but in a few short years it has threatened to self-destruct by introducing chemicals not natural to it’s environment. It has done this to ‘more efficiently’ protect it’s food resource. People are now beginning to understand the implications of this chemical usage and … Read more

The “home and farm-stay” industry has an important part to play in New Zealand tourism. More and more visitors are seeking an active holiday experience, rather than a passive look at scenery through tour bus windows. The experience of staying in a New Zealand home is for many a highlight of their stay. However, it … Read more

After innitial investigations into setting up a mobile rendering plant in Northland, it became apparent that my time would be better spent looking into the Freezing Industry with a view to either getting better performance from our existing facilities or by replacing them with smaller, more efficient plants. My reasons for abandoning the mobile rendering … Read more

As part of my programme for the Kellogg N.Z. Rural Leadership Course, I am conducting this survey of Dannevirke County Ratepayers and Residents. I feel that Councillors receive little indication of what people think. The questions cover the central issues and philosophies and seem to work from the premise that we want to retain, and … Read more

The typical New Zealand farmhouse is set back from the road, not too close to any nearby houses. Surrounded by paddocks, it usually has a garden of flowers and shrubs, and often some screening with bigger trees or hedging. Such a scene adds to the attractiveness of our green and pleasant land, but it can … Read more

The traditional forms of agriculture in New Zealand have been providing an ever diminishing return for its primary participants – the meat, wool and dairy farmer. Diversification has been the popular call to farmers. There are two very basic flaws in this “idea” which fundamentally preclude our farmers from major worthwhile changes in direction: (a) … Read more

The co-operative movement in New Zealand has been going for over 100 years. During this period of time there have been many notable achievements and also failures. One of the saddest aspects of this period is the lack of documentation. With my somewhat limited resources I will endeavour to do an assessment of farming co-operatives … Read more

We combined our energies, skills and resources to search out, interview and then portray women in non-traditional rural occupations. Our aim has been to encourage girls to consider all types of work – to … Read more

In the 1990’s the Diary Industry entered into an area of rapid change, and legislative reviews that altered the relationship between the NZ Dairy Board and the Dairy Companies. Bay Milk Products (BMP) endeavoured to manage Industry change in a positive and constructive manner, but soon realised that with only minority industry support it had … Read more
