| 27 RURAL PEOPLE » Kiripaka Station: Robert & Rachel Cashmore But he says the business of farming is a long- term project with goals often set early in a farmer’s career. “To achieve one goal could take ten or eleven years and it can be quite demoralising when you see yourself going backwards. So my passion be- hind farming is my own competitiveness to try and achieve the goals that I wrote several years ago.” Robert is currently Federated Farmers Vice Chair Meat and Wool for the Auckland region, and says his feeling is that if you are not involved don’t complain. “I have held the role of Auckland Chair for Meat and Wool but as I got more involved with the management of the farm I took a step back to the vice chair’s role. “The ultimate goal for me would be to influence some practical decision-making from the politi- cians, resulting in sensible legislation. They all need to be kept in check.” MikeWarren 027 446 5312 or 06 307 7841 Guy Warren 027 848 0164 William Warren 027 824 9327 Turanganui Romneys Turanganui Romneys are proud to be associated with the Cashmore family Robert, George (6), Rachel & Catherine (3) S U P E R I O R G E N E T I C S SUPERIOR GENETICS = SUPERIOR RESULTS ROMNEY Ramguard tested at .6 ROMDALE ROMWORTH AVAILABLE IN 2021 Contact AndrewSavage Ph: 06 862 3555 022 081 8358 | andrew@stleger.co.nz Email: TaumataOMihi Station, 4083Matawai Rd.
