Southland Times features MyFarm
The first of June is officially the start of the new dairy season and has come to be known as Gypsy day with hundreds of stock and people movements off and on dairy farms across New Zealand.
This year the Southland Times focused its coverage of Gypsy day on the changing face of the region's dairy farmers. Reporter Jared Morgan did a good job of profiling the people who invest in and manage dairy farms. He provides a good snapshot of what's so compelling about dairy farm investments right now - in the words of MyFarm Director, Cliff King - "... there's nothing like a bloody good dairy farm as long as you're not borrowing too much money."
