Set among the vines of Askerne Wines on the outskirts of Havelock North, Ardern was in deep discussions with farming leaders and horticulturalists on “issues they were facing” for most of the morning. “For a long time we’ve wanted to get out and visit with them and their sectors on the ground,” she said. The region faced another dry summer following on from last year, which saw pastures starved of rain until June. But the prime minister’s visit was welcomed with a heavy dose of rain, one that the region s farmers had been crying out for.
