Farming has changed a lot over the years, but the sense of camaraderie to be had from spending time with fellow farmers is unchanged, says Mike Davey, regional manager for Ravensdown.
Mike says a recent event held by the company for retired farmers was well attended.
"We invited retired farmers and their partners to a community afternoon, where we visited a dairy super shed in Tikorangi before enjoying an afternoon tea as part of Ravensdown's 40th year anniversary celebrations."
Mike says the event was a way of recognising the work done by farmers through the years.
