He talks with Craig Smith, Findex Wealth Management Partner, about the likely cash windfall for Fonterra shareholders following the sale of its global consumer business to Lactalis, why many farmers are rethinking their priorities in terms of how to spend this tax-free capital return and what it could mean for rural communities and the future dairy in NZ...
