Federated Farmers supports National's water storage initiative

Federated Farmers has welcomed National's water storage scheme, which promises $300 million in low-cost loans. The plan aims to help farmers convert more rainfall into profits.

The initiative is designed to boost agricultural productivity across the country. By improving water storage, farmers can better manage resources and increase their output.

Federated Farmers believes the scheme is a step in the right direction but says it should go further. The organisation calls for additional measures to support sustainable water management and infrastructure development.

Investing in water storage is seen as crucial for the future of farming in New Zealand, especially in light of changing climate conditions. Effective management of water resources will be essential for maintaining profitability in agriculture.
