The double threat of protracted Covid-19 alert level restrictions and lack of sustained rainfall should be cause for farmers to review their level of supplies, Federated Farmers Dairy chairman Wayne Langford says. There is a high chance this won t be the last lockdown we ll see in coming months. Nor does anyone have a working crystal ball to say when the likes of Northland and East Coast provinces will get regular rain.
Any further Covid restrictions could put pressure on transport and supply lines, Langford said.
