Advocating for farmers in the modern New Zealand economy.No one farmer can respond to the mass of policy and issues we collectively face. That is Federated Farmers' role and our mission is to take farming forward.We are a voluntary membership-based organisation consisting of 24 provinces. We employ staff who work for our member-farmers. As a democratic organisation, we give farmers a collective voice at both a regional, national and international level.We also represent the specific interests of members within Meat & Fibre, Dairy, Arable, Goats, Rural Butchers and High Country sectors.
