Stay away from farms!

Written by  Milking It

One person having a joy ride in dairy country, Pukeatua in the Waikato during COVID-19 lockdown was in for a nasty surprise.

A neighbour watch report says a chap was seen on a hill on Waimanu Road riding his Red V8 Holden and sitting on the bonnet.

Locals watched him for a while and then one farmer sent his drone up.

This raised the ire of the driver who started throwing stones at the drone without success: he then sped away from the scene.

The message from farmers is simple; stay in your own bubble!
