Editorial: RMA reforms uproar
OPINION: The euphoria over the Government’s two new bills to replace the broken Resource Management Act is over.
The two-day event was aimed at farming organisations making 'a team ag' approach to improve outcomes for farmers.
Labour was flogged by farmers at the last general election and National won back the traditionally blue seats.
But Labour isn't resting on its laurels and is keen to improve its standing among farmers. What this means is National should not take the farming vote for granted.
The coalition Government has done a lot during the first eight months in office for the rural sector but there's still more needs doing.
