Unprecedented flooding in Marlborough has caused significant pasture, and infrastructure loss, for our farmers and growers. Many farmers have busied themselves with track repairs and cleaning up fencelines.

We have been seeing the effects out in the field, carrying out farm visits to advise on re-establishing pasture in silt covered paddocks. Silt affected pasture isn't necessarily lost - there are a range of options for working through silt problems, some of them easier than you might think.
