None of the siblings want to continue farming, so it will be very hard to keep it in the whānau if no-one want to lease it. I suspect there will be little interest other than corporate.
It’s not surprising that no one wants to continue farming though. Look at the mental health crisis that has been unfolding within that sector for decades now and you can’t blame young people for avoiding it.
When we visit the farm her dad always takes us on a drive around this incredible place that he essentially has created.
