Allan Baird

I am a proud fifth generation Southlander. I grew up in rural Southland and left to attend university in 1984. I returned permanently to our family farm in 2002. I have lived in many cities around the world and have a broad perspective to life. I have a commerce background and for 25 years I have held the chartered accountant designate. I am a member on the Institute of Directors & the International Farm Management Association. I have been involved with Federated Farmers for 7 years & from 2015 - 2018 I was the Southland Provincial President.
