OPINION: As Fonterra farmers stare down the face of their co-op in ugly disarray, it's time to look at the board and its direction. To be farmers, not peasants as former Fonterra director Jim van der Poel was not tired of repeating. Like most Fonterra farmers I'm on the outside looking in. I feel equally confident stating that our skills and experience in the consumer business will never do that. It's time to return to the drawing board and figure out what Fonterra strategy should be, applying the guiding principle of "farmers insurance" ruthlessly.
