Opposition MPs + Ag Leaders Discuss Future Collaboration

McKenzie voices farmers' frustrations, "We don't think they should be involved in telling farmers how to farm.".

In a groundbreaking meeting, Labour MPs and top agricultural leaders, including representatives from Dairy NZ, Beef + Lamb NZ, Rural Women NZ, and Groundswell NZ, came together to bridge gaps and foster mutual understanding.

Groundswell NZ Co-Founder highlights the productive and relaxed atmosphere, crediting Federated Farmers for organising the event.

He says the discussion centred on Labour's attempts to reconnect with the farming community and the need for continuity in agricultural policy despite political changes.

McKenzie also discusses Rabobank's involvement in emissions regulations, other global news and more.
