B+LNZ backs winter grazing rules review recommendations 16 Dec, 2020 02:00 AM 3 minutes to read The Country Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) says it strongly endorses the recommendations of a review into intensive winter grazing rules. The Environment Southland-led process had been a highly effective way of addressing major concerns with the new rules, B+LNZ chairman Andrew Morrison said. Morrison thanked Environment Minister David Parker and Minister for Agriculture Damien O'Connor for agreeing to consider the recommendations, and also for the way the process was run. "There was genuine collaboration across the regional council, sector groups, farmers and Fish & Game. Throughout the process the group maintained a strong focus on workable ways to achieve the desired freshwater health outcomes."
