Editorial: Agri's mojo is back
OPINION: Good times are coming back for the primary industries. From sentiment expressed at Fieldays to the latest rural confidence survey results, all indicate farmer confidence at a near-record high.
The searches were conducted in both the North and South islands.
MPI manager compliance Investigations, Gary Orr, says the searches, carried out by warranted officers, related to potential breaches of legislation related to the M Bovis response.
“We recognise there is strong interest in the rural sector concerning how Mycoplasma bovis may have entered New Zealand,” says Orr.
“We will ensure the outcome of these investigations is communicated to farmers as soon as we are able to provide that information,” he says.
MPI is unable to provide substantive comment while investigations continue.
