The Joan Fernie Charitable Trust continues its modernisation exercise.
The Trust has put in place a number of management changes including:
- livestock policies
- fertiliser applications
- re-grassing/cropping programme
- reporting systems
- selling + purchasing arrangements
- distribution policy
It is the Board’s expectation that efficiencies resulting from these changes should allow improved levels of charitable distributions in the future, once cyclone recovery and deferred maintenance activity is completed and livestock performance has improved.
