|November 11, 2026Listen to the full interview:
Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) is calling for director nominations and farmer remits for its 2027 annual meeting.
B+LNZ chair Kate Acland says she and Northern North Island director Phil Weir retire by rotation and both stand for re-election.
“It’s always helpful to have contested elections,” she says.
“So if there’s any farmers out there who are interested in putting their name forward, then now is the time.”
Nominations and remits close at 5pm on Friday 27 November, and the annual meeting is in March.
Kate says last year was the best in 50 years after inflation, two years after the worst.
“We are heading into a period of reasonably solid returns, and that’s really great and gives us a lot of confidence.”
