Floating Farm Sinks
OPINION: The world's first floating dairy farm, once hailed as a vision of farming's future, is up for sale after seven years.
One that would have caught the eye of farmers would have been the Speaker authorising that water sprinklers be turned on for long periods in a bid to soak protestors and force them out. It didn't flush the protestors out but did turn the grounds into a bog, with muddy run-off.
As some farmers have pointed out, if the effluent sprinkler is turned on four long periods on a farm, it normally invites a visit from the regional council environmental officers. A breach of consent would normally invite a warning, fine or even prosecution!
