Kaikōura Farmer Faces Serious Damage Ahead of Milking Season

A Kaikōura farmer, Adam McManaway, is dealing with significant damage caused by severe weather. His paddocks are now covered in silt and debris from fallen trees.

With milking set to start in just a week, McManaway is faced with the challenge of recovering from the recent weather impacts. The loss of both fences and feed could affect his operations significantly as he prepares for the season ahead.

Farmers in the area are advising others to assess their own properties for potential damage as the weather continues to pose risks. The situation highlights the growing concerns around the impact of extreme weather on agriculture in Aotearoa.
