David Byard, local beef farmer and meat councillor for the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association, confirmed that a loose consortium had been formed by up to five Tasmanian farmers, footwear maker Blundstone Pty Ltd and a local meat processor.
“Nothing is signed, sealed or delivered yet and so many things could go wrong,” he stressed to The Mercury newspaper.
