Front page - farm sold overseas









What a complete surprise!
A big farm in the Maniatoto has sold to offshore buyers!
Who could have seen that coming?
Who has bought this latest farm to be sold to foreign buyers?
Harvard University,  the world's wealthiest university which  already owns substantial forestry and farming assets in New Zealand, including another 450ha Maniototo farm which it has converted to run 1100 dairy cows.

Yes Shunda - thank goodness it wasn't some country with an appalling environmental and human rights history.
Good spotting Pauline. I missed it but will look now.
