When Fiona Hancox stood for the board of Silver Fern Farms, it was all about timing.
Six years later, the West Otago farmer's decision to not seek re-election in this year's farmer director elections for Silver Fern Farms Co-operative was also about timing.
While acknowledging it was sad to leave what was a "fantastic company and board" and also such an important part of her family's own farming business - it was the right time, she said.
