We like to give the opportunity to any of our passionate members, or site readers, to put down your thoughts. If you have a strongly held opinion on a subject lets hear about it. You do not need to agree with us. We encourage open debate as long as it is professional and does not get abusive or demeaning to others who hold differing points of view. 

 

We fully support open debate because that is how we all learn and improve decision making. Just send your article to:  editor@nzfarmers.com

 

If your interest is already being debated within a Soapbox section you are able to comment directly on any posted articles once logged in as a user. 

 

Please keep any article to 500 words. Your article will be posted in the Community Comment section of the Soapbox. The Editor reserves the right to reject any article if it includes content deemed to be objectionable. See Community Comment Section.

 

Other issues in our Soapbox include:

 

Climate Change:  Most industry groups including Federated Farmers are doing a poor job of exposing the nonsense behind climate change. We are not. 

 

Local Government Reform: Everybody agrees change is needed but any change could be worse than what we currently experience. We put forward ideas and debate options.
