Select committee 'blew it' - Feds
Sheep and beef farmers are urging the Government to do more to stop productive farmland overrun by pine trees.
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.
