Great, the kiwi taxpayer bailing out farmers again. I'm sick to death of the whinging we get from the supposed "Backbone" of the country. We gotta pay a premium for meat and any dairy product in this country because were told that thit is compitition. Well let the bleating cocky community compete without the rest of us having to hand over millions of our dollars so I can get to see cocky's riding around in thier new Toyata's...

Well its nice to see the government putting money in but I think its a bit late, I will be culling sheep this season by 75% and that land will be carved up into lifestyle blocks and the remained will have cows on.
