Anne Munro
Fairlie farmer Anne Munro has been elected Meat and Wool
New Zealand's new director for the Central South Island,
unseating incumbent David Douglas.
Mrs Munro, who farms Wairewa Station with her husband Philip,
received 8890 votes, 1410 more than Mr Douglas in the recent
elections.
The return percentage was 38.92%.
The couple have been farming for 32 years, supplying lambs
under contract to CMP.
Wool from their Romney-cross ewes was used to cover tennis
balls used in the 2006 US Tennis Open.
Mrs Munro is overseas on a pre-arranged holiday, but said in
a statement that she wanted to see the levy-funded body
improve communication with farmers, while showing strong
leadership.
She joins another newly elected female director from the
recent elections, Kirsten Bryant, of the Western North Island
electorate.
The return percentage was 25.25%.
