Agricultural Production Economics

Competition is the answer!

I have read in the print media rather selective views regarding the NZ meat industry. I have my own views but these seem to be contrary to the main stream of thinking. I feel like a Heretic but perhaps that is what’s required.

I feel the views expressed are just more of the same old, same old. Let’s be honest, if your farm dog performed as badly as the Meat Board it would have been taken out to the back 40 and shot without hesitation, and yet meat board members often stand unopposed to inflict more self righteous rubbish on the farming community? Do they fly business class when they flit back and forward to England to solve all our marketing problems for the umpteenth time. Who pays and what do we really get for our money?
