Representing Otago Farmers

Federated Farmers Otago represents local farmers' views at three district councils (Clutha, Queenstown Lakes, and Central Otago), one city council (Dunedin) and one regional council. The main issues in our province include a very diverse range of local ones as well as the big national issues. We cover environmental matters, the high country landscape, rates and how they are based and water quantity and quality are among these.
