Southland Federated Farmers president Geoffrey Young discusses the Government s proposed new fresh water rules.
His sometimes controversial stance has occasionally raised eyebrows, but Geoffrey Young has no regrets as his term as president of Southland Federated Farmers comes to an end. Public campaigns from activists wanting to end intensive winter grazing and cows numbers to be reduced, new firearms legislation, the rise of plant-based meat, and the wool price still stuck in the doldrums, Young said sticking up for farmers for the past three years had been almost a full-time job. Not to mention the work involved on new freshwater, climate change and indigenous biodiversity legislation from the Government all having an impact on farming.
