If farmers shared some of their business with average new zealanders (ie jobs or shares) then i would be happy to work or chuck money their way. to help build water tanks/pipes/hoses, plant trees and make shelter for the animals. Farmers need to help new zealanders by making jobs or shares in order for us to help them!

Looks like its time for these farmers to sell their beach houses or should I say mansions.

I would have to go alone with the last post as well we are in Taumarunui we are dry and only have water for about 1 week left in ou tank and that will go to our stock before we get it. So showering and washing has to wait or we go to our kids place for a houer and do the washing. The people in Wellington need to come out of their offices and see what the rest of the country have to put pu with and we all need help now

If farners didn't denude their land they would have less extremes. In winter it's too much rain, in summer it's too little. They are running a business and if they need to replant trees then so be it.

If someone in Wellington cannot tell by this video that Hawke's Bay is not suffering from a massive drought, then the appropriate civil servant should actually leave their air conditioned plush office full of PA's and drive up to Hawke's Bay and have a look. They do sell Latte's and Cappuchino's in Hawkes Bay so you should not suffer any withdrawal symptons.
