After discussing the problems with members of the banking community, several board members approached the Minister of Agriculture, Dennis Timbrell, and presented their brief. After a meeting between the ministry, CFFO, and OFA, some changes were agreed upon which include a four member board consisting of farmers picked from a list drawn up in each county with the help of local OMAF reps, CFFO and OFA who will submit a list of people willing to be on the board.
