Selwyn Farmers Lead as A Grades Climb to 77% in FEP Audits
Newly released data from Environment Canterbury (ECan) Farm Environment Plan (FEP) audits are showing a dramatic lift in environmental performance across the region.
The second question: is there some variety of idiot juice in the water in the region? Absolutely.
Proof is the bizarre declaration by Environment Canterbury that there is a ‘nitrate emergency’ in the region. So why haven’ t the police, the health department, the army and even experts from the White House been called to deal with it? Because no one, not even the latter, could believe such a ridiculous claim. This nutterdriven, half-baked attack on the dairy industry is beyond crazy scaremongering and a good reason why the Government should think seriously about abolishing regional councils.
If councils waste time and money financing an electoral stunt by the watermelon party (AKA the Greens) do they have the right to collect money from sensible, financially hardpressed residents? No, they should go. And per the prophetic words of Gilbert and Sullivan, ‘they never will be missed’.
