Understated euphoria at the Lawrence Pub as Otago lift the Shield.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

Wow the @NZGreens are really going after farmers. After demanding the Ag portfolio they are going to impose a water tax, fert tax, phase out nitrogen, draconian DIN limits and ban PKE. That’s what a Labour/Green govt looks like, time to buy yourself some insurance with @nzfirst

[Winston Peters @winstonpeters]

We are ensuring that for the first time in a long time Wellington is listening to the provinces...that’s what this entire campaign is about...

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

@bushypark8 I hope we both live long enough to see as prescient.

Wool on the comeback! This extraordinary natural fibre poised to be utilised in all manner of different uses especially as a replacement for oil based synthetic’s. If only we could get woollen carpets and insulation in our Kiwibuild programme.... https://t.co/b8PPHgryQp

@sarah_perriam @everydayfarmer @winstonpeters Thanks @sarah_perriam although all the credit needs to go to @everydayfarmer for a fantastic initiative.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

It was a great honour to be presented the 15000 strong petition on behalf of Southland Sheep Farmer Amy Blackie @everydayfarmer to have NZ Wool used in all government buildings. Thanks to @winstonpeters and many industry leaders for lending your support. Fantastic work Amy.

@gwynncompton @PaulBMcGill @NZBeefLamb Absolutely @PaulBMcGill that’s exactly what we should be getting behind.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

I think Buck enjoyed hearing my old rugby yarns. Great to have Buck along for this evenings function in Parliament to celebrate the PGF funding for protecting the term Manuka for NZ Manuka Honey.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

@PaulBMcGill Will add real value to NZ Manuka @PaulBMcGill as it was being commodified offshore. Same principle as ‘Scotch’ Whiskey or Champagne.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

@MeikleTc @NZFirstNews Cheers @MeikleTc Well done for your great work pulling everything together.

[Mark Patterson @markpfarmer]

Big turnout for @winstonpeters @NZFirstNews “Save Tiwai” meeting in Invercargill today. It’s madness to walk away from 2600 jobs and $450m of economic activity. We also popped out to Tiwai to hear the workers concerns.
