Depending on how you look at it, Udo Fuehrer is either a visionary or a reckless risk taker.
At a time when many sheep farmers are considering a switch to dairying or other sources of income, the Taieri dairy farmer has sold his farm and bought a 5200ha sheep, beef and deer property at Middlemarch.
Also, in a period when orchards are not viewed as a profitable investment, Mr Fuehrer and his wife, Leigh-Anne, have bought a Roxburgh pip and summerfruit orchard.
