Written by 

Fish and Game NZ’s continuing attacks on water quality on farms prompted a Southland farmer to take to Twitter.

“Trees to plant -- $2464; digger -- $2352; creating a wetland with and for future generations $priceless; but then being told by Fish and Game that farmers don’t do anything...?” tweeted Dean Rabbidge. He showed photos of a digger creating a wetland and listed the types of trees to be planted and their cost. This is exactly what the industry needs: farmers showing their good work for Kiwis and all to see.
