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.
This mutt doesn't know how else to explain the juvenile declaration by ECan of a "nitrate emergency" - a political stunt rightly decried by Federated Farmers and others.
The pointless, virtue-signalling 'declaration' reminds the Hound of the now defunct group of equally earnest teenage 'eco-worriers' School Strike 4 Climate that declared daily climate emergencies for a few months before declaring itself 'racist' and promptly cancelling itself!
ECan councilors are unlikely to have the same good grace and will keep their snouts firmly in the trough.
So good on Central Plains Water Limited for taking out a full-page ad in The Press to correct the record and outline the massive economic contribution water schemes make to the economy.
