Die Nasionale Rooivleis Produsente-Organisasie (RPO) is opgewonde om aan te kondig dat hulle tydens die laaste Uitvoerende Raadsvergadering besluit het om ‘n samewerkingsooreenkoms met Plaas Media te onderteken. Die ooreenkoms behels kortliks dat die RPO ‘n aantal bladsye in elke uitgawe van Veeplaas en Stockfarm sal hê waarin belangrike inligting weergegee sal word. Van hierdie inhoud sal deur Plaas Media self geskryf word (soos dit tans reeds die geval is met RPO-verwante artikels in beide tydskriftitels) en daar sal ook ‘n bydrae uit RPO-geledere wees. Voorts sal alle lede van die RPO die twee tydskrifte gratis ontvang, hetsy aanlyn (via Whatsapp) of in gedrukte vorm. Die aanlyn-weergawes op Whatsapp is gratis en lede sal dit op die amptelike RPO-Whatsapp-groepe ontvang. Die lede wat die gratis gedrukte weergawe van die tydskrifte wil ontvang, moet slegs die afleweringsfooi betaal. Die beskikbare opsies in hierdie verband sal binnekort met alle lede gedeel word.
