Abstract: Abstract The Federation continued to benefit from the close links with Government formed during wartime. The distinctive roles of Government, the Meat Board and Federated Farmers were demonstrated by debate on overseas control of meat processing. Southland farmers formed a partnership with the overseas-owned W. and R. Fletcher Ltd to set up a processing facility but the Meat Board refused to grant a licence. Federated Farmers supported the Meat Board rather than Southland farmers. A Royal Commission found the Southland farmers’ actions to be justified. Southland farmers and Fletchers eventually reached agreement with the Meat Board. Federated Farmers’ role internationally became important when it was invited to promote an International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP). The Federation played a strong role in the IFAP’s first meeting.
