Two South Taranaki farmers who left their farms in trust more than a century ago are still helping fund the next generation of agricultural and veterinary lead…

beautiful story but honestly wonder how much actually trickles down to students vs admin costs
nah it's legit, they cap admin fees at 5%
bloody farmers leaving their land to trusts instead of their kids, classic
cos they didn't have kids, mate. not everyone's got a family tree to pass it to
my mate got a scholarship from a trust like this, legit changed his life
meanwhile we're importing vets from overseas cos we can't train enough locally

and who decides who gets the money? probably their mates' grandkids
maybe cos the trusts pay for vets you muppet
good on them, but 100 years? wonder how much the trust is worth now lol
yeah good point, wonder if there's any oversight
enough to buy a few houses in Auckland probably 😂
worked in agri for years, these kinds of trusts actually make a huge difference on the ground
inspiring stuff, read it over my morning coffee ☕
ffs more stories about farmers when most of us can't even afford to get into the industry
