Reporoa dairy farmer Alan Crafar is refusing to vacate the family farm that is now in the hands of receivers.
The Crafar family owes more than $200 million to both PGG Wrightson and banks, and its 30 central North Island farms were placed into receivership late last year.

'I don't really appreciate some bastard in a suit coming and stealing my life's work off me.”

Receivers KordaMentha offered to pay the Crafars to rent three properties in Rotorua for six months if the Crafars left the Reporoa farm.
The offer expired on April 9 and Alan's still on the family farm – a farm he has worked for 40 years.
'We are pretty hard to move. I don't really appreciate some bastard in a suit coming and stealing my life's work off me,” says Alan.
'They've said they want us to go and I suppose they will find ways and means of getting rid of us,” says Alan.
'We could be a bit sticky. I'm not moving. They just think they are going to break our family. That's not very nice. I understand that sort of thinking in war time or something – I thought we were in a civilised situation, but I don't think so.
'Corruption's bloody rife. The deeper I get into it in the New Zealand system, the more corruption I see. Its tentacles are everywhere.”
Michael Stiassny for the receivers KordaMentha says the matter has been placed in the hands of solicitors.
'Our lawyers are directed to do whatever they deem necessary to achieve the desired outcome, which is the Crafars off the farm,” says Michael.
