[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6863668, member: 63856"] Plenty of farmers made droughts in NZ this year, don't worry about that. Winter / spring = wet Summer = dry You'd think they'd have sussed out a bit of a pattern by now but apparently it's all up to the weather, yes, the weather is at fault for their lack of management... and lack of planning A "just hang in there" approach is no longer effective. T'was different when I was a lad, rainfall was different then, but the climate has changed and so has the economic climate - it's made many farmers greedy. They paid 6 mill for a bit of land but don't nurse it, rather they expect it to provide for them and their bankloan repayments... but it is still the same bit of land that changed hands for a tenth of that sum a blink of a hawk ago. But these guys who have a drought every spring, that's really something - and they believe their farm's working well which is even more amazing [/QUOTE]
