Bulletin SPRING 2021 EDITION
D E LTA DAW N Before Covid, Deltas were something you found in either a Helen Reddy song or at the end of rivers. As the song goes, some of our rivers had become ’a faded rose from days gone by’, and farmers were busy getting their ‘flower on’ to clean up the Delta. Even the Townies seemed impressed. Then another Delta showed up changing the song from ‘a-meeting you here today’ to ‘wash your hands and stay away’, causing a panic to rival Helen’s Las Vegas years … except this time it involves face masks instead of hair plugs and even ABBA has decided to make a comeback! With Delta spreading in town, farmers and processors were on the job – essential workers. Townies can rely on us to deal with the Deltas, and to help those without a ‘mansion in the sky’. Many have given generously to make a brighter ‘Delta Dawn’ for those less fortunate in our community. Together we are the match for any Delta that comes along … now all we need is ‘a ship in the harbor’… but that’s another song!!
+ DELTA DAWN + MARKET UPDATE + WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
G REG ’S COLUM N I would like to take the opportunity, in this my first bulletin, to look back and acknowledge the work that Mudgey has done over his tenure as the Greenlea Livestock Manager. His network of farmer clients and colleagues, coupled with his knowledge of our industry has facilitated steady growth in numbers processed through our plants. This at a time when Greenlea increased its operational capacity and threw its weight behind processing larger numbers of prime cattle. He has been a huge part of a great team that has put Greenlea Premier Meats in the position of being one of New Zealand’s leading red meat processors! Kei runga noa atu Mudgey. Keep an eye out for Mudgey. He remains a part of our buying team through his direct clients and procuring cattle from the East Coast, Hawkes Bay and Manawatu areas.
