Fonterra you are robbers ! ....I feel more for the people who work for wages that race and must pay an arm and a leg for their products.i.e US! The cockies got record payouts last year & us the consumer ended up paying for it. |

Are any of you involved in the financial side of farming? The farmers I deal with every day are disappointed with the payout rate, but not selling the doom and gloom as above. The ones that will hurt the most are the contractors with huge amounts maize reading to be harvested and no one to sell it too  |

I am in Rotorua. We have contractors here with maize contracts not worth the pieces of paper they are written on. There are many farmers here that have pulled the pin on these contracts and it's the contractor that will wear the cost. And there are a number of these people involved in speedway

;D so Superstockboy and Patrick198H are now in business together, superstockboy has the contacts and Patrick has the gear. Will everyone from the Nth Is please stop in at Patricks place in Hamilton to pick up a couple of bales before heading to the Sth Is meetings. Delivery is to be made to Superstockboy c/o Invergiggle speedway. Strap a couple of bales to the roof and do Godzone a favour. You dont know how lucky you are mate,, you dont know how lucky you are,, mate ;D ;D
