Farmers' Club at Waima A Maori farmers' club, believed to be the first of its kind, is achieving good results at Waima, in the Hokianga. With the help of trained agricultural specialists, settlers there have embarked on a progressive programme of farm improvement. Concerned at their short dairy season and resulting poor returns, farmers at Waima decided three years ago that some action was needed to make their farms more productive. The average size of the farms is 120 acres, and although part of the land consisted of alluvial flats only a very bare living was made. Some of the men found it necessary to seek work in the off-season and others took secondary employment to provide sufficient income to keep their families.
