Rural Bulletin discontinued

Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, National

MAF Policy has decided to discontinue the Rural Bulletin. Consequently, the March edition is the final one.  

The environment has changed markedly since the Rural Bulletin was first published in 1992. In particular, widespread access to the Internet has made this information much more accessible to people.  

At this stage, we are unsure if other agencies (either alone or in collaboration with others) would wish to take over responsibility for Rural Bulletin (or develop a Bulletin-like concept of their own).  

However, we would like to give you the opportunity to receive any future publication that may be developed. If you are interested in being on a potential mailing list, then please send an email to the following address: marie.farquhar@maf.govt.nz or send a letter to: Marie Farquhar, Innovation and Research Policy, MAF Policy, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, PO Box 2526, Wellington. 

I’d like to take the opportunity to express my thanks to the Rural Bulletin team for all their hard work over the years. In particular, thanks are due to Craig Matthews (Editor), Karen Thompson (formatting / proofing), and Copy Machine (printing / distribution).
