About this listen

Canterbury farmers are being urged to plan ahead amid concerns over winter feed supplies.

A series of significant hailstorms, combined with persistently wet conditions, has made it a tough season for arable farmers across the region.

Federated Farmers is encouraging early discussions between arable and dairy farmers, warning crop damage could reduce feed available for winter-grazed dairy cows.

Mid Canterbury President David Acland told Ryan Bridge it’s not panic stations just yet, it’s a push for people to check in and secure the feed they need.
