Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
This won't be good for a Labour Government seriously trying to reset its strategy and direction and avoid an election bloodbath.
Farmers, who form an important part of the NZ business sector, are already fed up with the Government's push to dump regulation on the agriculture sector.
The Government's immigration policies around ag sector workers also leaves much to be desired.
It seems the big donors are already preparing for a change in Government - the $2.4 million raised by National compared to $150,000 by Labour last year could be a sign of things to come.
