Abstract

Joint concerns encouraged farmers, sheepowners and horticulturalists to move towards complete unity and ‘Federated Farmers of New Zealand’ was incorporated in December 1944. Within the unified organisation, branches and produce sections were autonomous. The coming together to form Federated Farmers demonstrated that farmers were dissatisfied with New Zealand’s Producer Boards whose prime interests were processing and marketing farmers’ produce. The boards were set up originally to organise better exports and their work was primarily with issues outside rather than inside the farm-gate. Meat, Dairy and Fruit Boards were set up in the 1920s, and a Wool Board in 1944. The Boards’ electoral arrangements led to insufficient accountability. While the Boards engaged with those processing and marketing farmers’ produce, Federated Farmers represented, more closely, the farmers.
