Relief for Hawke's Bay farmers after months of drought - although the impacts will be long felt
23 June 2020
Rainfall over the weekend has signalled the end to the dry spell across many parts of the region.
But Rural Advisory Group co-chair Lochie MacGillivray says farmers are now dealing with the second phase of the crisis.
He says the issue is managing the lack of feed over the winter, but this extra rainfall has meant more pasture growth.
MacGillivray says the drought was up there with the worst the region's ever experienced.
