North Canterbury nitrate reductions may cause financial ruin, some farmers say
Unrelenting and unreasonable nitrate reduction demands will drive dairy farmers to bankruptcy, a group of North Canterbury irrigators fear.
Ben McKerchar of Larundel Dairy Partnership at West Eyreton says draconian proposed nitrate cuts beyond 2030 will result in some dairy farmers "going to the wall".
The staged reductions are proposed in Environment Canterbury's (ECan) "plan change 7" of the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan, now out for consultation.
