AgriHQ

This On Farm Story video from AgriHQ follows William Morrison, a sheep and beef farmer on hill country his family has worked in Rangitīkei for more than 150 years, who posts images of the farm on social media to connect with a wider audience.

William talks about being open about how the farm operates, adjusting to a changing climate and industry, and using that openness to keep the family's story alive for the next generation.
