WHEREAS the role of a SARM director is highly demanding, requiring a significant time commitment that can be challenging for many councillors and producers who are already dedicated to managing their farms and supporting their communities.

WHEREAS this time constraint may limit the board’s ability to benefit from the valuable insights and expertise of these individuals on agricultural and economic policies.

BE IT RESOLVED that the SARM board consider appointing at least two RM representatives to the Agriculture and Economy Committee to ensure a broader range of perspectives and expertise is included.
