Since 1945 I have farmed the property of 868 acres known as "Braeside" in the Waihaorunga district 21 miles inland from Waimate. This property was farmed for the previous 25 years by Mr Sidney Hurst, who was largely responsible for its development and is still interested in it. When I discuss farming policy in connection with this property I can truthfully use the pronoun we, as most decisions are arrived at after a good deal of discussion.
