Story: Farm families







Waikato farmer Grant Vercoe and his three-year-old son Grant


Early European settlers in New Zealand often lived in great isolation in the countryside. Men outnumbered women at first but slowly rural families became the norm. People living away from towns had to be strongly self-reliant, and women and children played an important part in the day-to-day running of farms. Improved economic circumstances have changed the way rural families live.
