Be kind

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Farmers are calling for orderliness and patience on roads this summer: particularly in some South Island districts where arable farmers in the middle of harvesting.

Federated Farmers is urging motorists and the operators of agricultural machinery to show each other some care and understanding.

Unlike the raindrenched North Island, the golden weather in South Island is both a bonus and a race to get crops in before Mother Nature switches moods.

During harvest, combine harvesters, large tractors towing implements and other oversize agricultural vehicles often use public roads to move between different parts of the farm and between farms. So please be kind out there.
