Farmers across New Zealand’s North Island are being urged to prepare for worsening drought conditions as the late summer dry spell intensifies, with Taranaki experiencing what some are calling a “one-in-fifty-year event”.
Water shortages are a growing concern, as wells and bores run dry, compounding the crisis.
Livestock culling, feed shortages, and financial planning are key challenges, and many are anxiously awaiting a government drought declaration.
In Taranaki, Whanganui and Manawatū, farmers are making tough decisions about selling stock as pastures dry out, with some relying on remaining feed reserves that may not last another month without rain.
Just waiting for the ‘climate change’ mafia using ‘weather’ to push their lies.
Oh yes the media will be creaming their pants.
