In this week’s “Opinion Maker” show of Sarah’s Country:

As New Zealand's freshwater rules are met with frustration and concern by many farmers, the details of the regulations are already having a flow-on effect on future farm systems.

What will it mean for dairy run-off blocks, grazing dairy stock off-farm, the importing of alternative supplementary feed?

Featured guests include Bayleys Canterbury director Ben Turner and Farmlands head of nutrition and animal health Dr Rob Derrick.  And on the panel, we’re joined by Southland Advisory Group member and dairy farmer Paul Turner and Southland Federated Farmers vice-president and sheep and beef farmer Bernadette Hunt.
