Federated Farmers
Federated Farmers of New Zealand is a lobby and advocacy group for farmers and rural communities. It has a network of 24 regional organisations and six industry groups. Federated Farmers lobbies on farming issues both nationally and within each region. Membership of the organisation is voluntary, and at 2021 it has over 13,000 members.
Federated Farmers was originally incorporated in 1902 as the New Zealand Farmers Union. In 1944, a joint initiative by the New Zealand Farmers Union and the New Zealand Sheepowners' Federation led to the formation of Federated Farmers, and a new incorporated society, Federated Farmers of New Zealand Inc was registered on 30 November 1944. There were 43,000 members of Federated Farmers in 1971.
The organisation is a federation of 24 independent regional bodies (provinces) that are separate incorporated societies.
As of 2021, there were 13,000 members of Federated Farmers.
The parent body has 11 offices around the country, and employs 60 staff. In addition to the regional member organisations, Federated Farmers has six industry groups: Arable, Dairy, Goats, High country, Meat & wool and Rural butchers.
The organisation has recently introduced a discounted membership category for owners of lifestyle farm blocks.
Federated Farmers has several publications including a weekly newsletter called Friday Flash, which has 11,000 subscribers as of 2021. Other publications include the National Farming Review and Tussock Talk.
During the 2020 New Zealand general election, Federated Farmer released a manifesto.
