Federated Farmers pressing pause on the rollout of freshwater farm plans until improvements can be made is a practical and pragmatic step from the Government.
Federated Farmers' freshwater spokesperson Colin Hurst chats to Dom about how this move is seen as a "big sigh of relief" for farmers who found the previous plans overly complex and costly.
He highlights the importance of consolidating these plans with existing farm systems to avoid redundancy and reduce compliance costs.
Hurst also emphasises the need for practical, farmer-owned systems that evolve over time, focusing on managing fertiliser use and livestock exclusion from waterways.
