Poll: Are you affected by the drought?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

With no significant rain forecast until “maybe” later this month, grass is a hot commodity and dry stock farmers who’ve taken on dairy farmers’ heifers want to give them back.

Following a meeting of the adverse event cluster group in early March, Agriculture Minister Todd McClay declared a medium scale adverse event for the region, along with other parts of the country.

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
