OpinionElection horse trading could hurt NZ30-08-2010 | Alan Emerson Opinion | The New Zealand Farmers Weekly I've been on holiday in Australia for a couple of weeks, observed the election and the last 10 days of the campaign.

At one level I think it is a good idea. » Read full article Good news for agriculture 05-07-2010 | Alan Emerson Opinion | The New Zealand Farmers Weekly I read the KPMG Agribusiness Agenda report last week and believe it provides an excellent overview of the challenges and opportunities facing New Zealand agriculture. » Read full article ETS a bluff, bluster and strut show 28-06-2010 | Alan Emerson Opinion | The New Zealand Farmers Weekly I expect to see bluff, bluster and strut from our politicians but they've taken that to an art form over the Emissions Trading Scheme or ETS.
