Head of Co-operative affairs for Fonterra in Northland Eric Morrison caught up with The Country Early Edition's Dom George today.
Morrison gives us an update on the GDT, calving season and the weather in Northland, along with nitrogen returns and why farmers have to complete them.
Fonterra are also makingefforts to bridge the gap between the co-op and local farmers. Recently they took a busload of farmers to the new Auckland Head Quarters so they could see it for themselves rather than just hearing about it.
Tours of the Kauri manufacturing site and the Jordon Valley farm processing facility have also been undertaken.
Morrison says this is a good way to help build a connection between farmers and Fonterra and there are plans to have more tours to further this goal.
