@NewshubPolitics I am a National Party Supporter and luckily pay the top tax rate. I think cutting it is crazy when we need to pay our teachers and nurses more and support those sectors with enough staff. This policy makes me grumpy.

I am biased here but this person is immensely talented with a great ability to get to the nub of the problem or opportunity and to guide strategic and tactical responses. She brings true diversity of thought and approach.

FMG is an iconic NZ company that I've always aspired to be part of. The 2020 round of Director elections for FMG is now in progress, and I would really appreciate your support.

Thanks to the brave men and women out there still running our farms, gardens, orchards - and to the pickers, drivers, processors and post harvest operators. https://t.co/Zudcxh2GiB via @LinkedIn

At Palliser Ridge today discussing the future of farming. Great to see young talent Lisa Portas driving positive change. #Kellogg #NZRLT

The problem with their analysis is that they ignore the short half life of methane. If I milk 100 cows today, and still milk 100 cows in 10 years time then I have contributed 0 to global warming from methane. Agri needs national GHG accounting! https://t.co/5QGuQhEYSL

A nice and simple presentation on how the economy works. The focus on the importance of access to credit is food for thought for dairy farmers in particular - dairy won’t be growing in NZ anytime soon!

@brettbjb @DairyNZ @figuredapp Well done to the Okaihau Pastoral directors and on-farm team. Keep it going!

@TiroroaFarmsLtd @Dairy @Fonterra Congrats Tracy. Well deserved and a lot of work ahead of you

@PtwoAus @duncanyzf20 @juliajones110 This is data from Canada - but makes the visual point that conventional cropping regimes depletes soils. The general view that 'plants are good' and 'animals are bad' needs to be challenged as either can be the case for both. We have a lot to learn still.

The soil on the left is from sheep and cattle being rotationally grazed. They ate the grass, deposited their urine/dung and were then moved away. This allows the pulling of carbon into the soil. The soil on the right is from a commercial farm that grows grain and uses no animals

[Andrew Watters @MyFarm_]

A nice scientific paper showing that a semi-intensive grazing system can sequester significant amounts of carbon and be more sustainable than beef feedlot systems.
