‘OKAY, so who was the best solo rider at Kihikihi, you or Barry Free?’ That could well have been the very question Speedway commentator Graham ‘Mintie’ Meads asked Ash Rouse in a brief trackside interview at the 50th anniversary on Saturday.

Meeting changing needs of valued members, customers Farmlands is celebrating a decade of business in Te Awamutu this month. The business developed from an acquisition of the previous owners of the store, Elders. From a meagre beginning, the Farmlands Te Awamutu store now has a turnover of nearly $10 034TC007/05 million from a local base of just over 600 share- holders around the area. The store is managed by Ross Walker, who is ably assisted by six permanent staff, each of them with their own areas of responsibility. The Farmlands story itself is one of determina- tion to provide the best options for its shareholder customers. In return, New Zealand farmers’ determination to gain themselves the best possible solutions for their businesses has driven the total number of shareholdings in the co-operative to over 17,500. Today Farmlands prides itself on this unrelenting level of support, which comes from shareholders trusting that the company is working on their behalf to reduce rural supply costs. Year on year more and more people are joining the co-operative because they want to take full ad- TE AWAMUTU manager Ross Walker (right) with a vantage of Farmlands competitive prices and the Farmlands customer. 0340511AD company’s ability to meet their needs. Thousands of farmers and other land-based members have enhanced their assets and strengthened rural infrastructure through shopping at Farmlands stores. The latest development - the opening of Hawera 034TC002/05 store - demonstrates Farmlands’ shareholders confi dence in the business’s outlook, and the con- tinued expansion of its retail chain and increasing demand for its services. The philosophy behind Farmlands is as strong Proud to support today as it was 43 years ago when a group of six Hawke’s Bay Farmers set up the co-operative to Farmlands Te Awamutu gain cheaper access to farm supplies. With a chain of 30 stores throughout the , every year Farmlands continues to grow and invest - servicing both the rural, and increas- ingly the urban sector. While the co-operative structure has been a tra- ditional way for farmers to do business, that strong sense of ownership, where people feel a company is working on their behalf and they also share in the profi ts, is attracting interest from a wide range of new customers. Latest developments signal that the company is much more than a rural retail store. 034TC003/05 Farmlands is obviously proud of its farm supply STAFF member Gary Cameron is one of the background and will continue to service that mar- strong, durable and quality assured ‘originals’ at Farmlands Te Awamutu, coming here ket – but increasingly the company is fi nding de- from the Rotorua branch 10 years ago. 0340511BD mand for its products in the city.
