TO LEASE OR TO WORK?
We have written many words exhorting the Maori People to get involved with farming, to grow things on their own land, and we take off our hats to all those who are farming or are recommending the people to cultivate their lands. Greetings to you, my friend, the saviour of the people. Be strong, be firm, be stout-hearted. Do not listen to the beguiling words of the lazy person.
