Tis the season to be jolly, yea right! Always very busy on the farms this time of year especially with young stock, getting crops in the ground and grass harvesting etc. And with the weather improving, I hope all you busy people, especially those with kids, take time to have a break regularly. For your sake, and those around you, yes!

On the theme, taking a break. Surfing for Farmers has started at Riversdale beach. Boards, wet suits and encouragement supplied. I think it’s on Thursday evenings but ring Richard Moore 021 313 877 if interested. Very popular around the country I hear.
Irrigation is very important to many farmers in the Wairarapa. Recent geostrata surveying has changed ground water knowledge for many in the region.
If you are on restrictions or think your consent could be upgraded, contact the GWRC or your hydrologist to see where you sit.
