Waikato farmers will press the Prime Minister on the Mycoplasma bovis outbreak today.

Jacinda Ardern will visit John Haywood's farm in Te Awamutu, to discuss a variety of issues affecting the agricultural sector.

Haywood told Mike Hosking farmers are eager for answers.

"In regards to the likes of bovis, we just need to get some clarity on a few things going forward. In my personal opinion, I think maybe the horse has bolted."

The cattle disease was discovered in Waikato for the first time last week, when a Cambridge farm tested positive.
