| 1332104 | 2013-03-11 04:28:00 | Can we assume farmers think there will never be water shortage, so do nowt. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1332105 | 2013-03-11 05:06:00 | some certainly, just watched Prime news and the farmer on there wasn't complaining as he decided to grow maize as feed for just this type of situation | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1332106 | 2013-03-11 05:12:00 | That of course should be the way of the farmer, enjoy the good times and prepare for the bad times. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1332107 | 2013-03-11 05:32:00 | Could water be shipped up from Manapouri in ships to Northland and the Waikato ? Well of course it can, its just somebody organising it And working how much it is going to cost. Whilst it may be good for a small selected few types of farming overall its very bad fro NZ. And surely tomato trees and grapevines need some water ! And what about those dry/empty Canterbuy rivers we saw on Campbell live a few weeks ago ? |

| 1332110 | 2013-03-11 19:30:00 | Am I the only one who thinks the Idea of carting shiploads of water up a RIVER funny ? | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1332111 | 2013-03-11 19:49:00 | You won't think it so funny when the Gov't starts levying you for the process. The DSIR successor announced they are on the way to solving the drought problem with a two-pronged scientific program. Firstly, dehydrated water to minimise shipping costs and difficulties. Just email it to where it is most needed. Secondly, a cheap substitute for seawater that can be speedily produced in enormous quantities wherever there is a suitable desalination plant. |

But I’ll bet there are plenty out there who cut a couple of lots of hay when you couldn’t see the stock for grass back in November and made sure they had adequate water supplies from bores and runoff . And yep, you may have to reduce your stock numbers, but that’s farming, nothing new . Don’t know what all the fuss is about . |
