Congratulations to Charlie Reynolds for his article in the Gisborne Herald on Tuesday, July 16. I fully endorse his message about farmers caring about the land and the irony of urban populations attempting to dictate rules to farmers on land use.
As usual the biggest mouths are those that don’t derive their livelihood from the land. Do these people really know anything about farmland management practices, or are they just left-wing activists out of their depth?
Those of us who were born on the land, farm the land and derive our livelihoods from the land comprehend, understand and appreciate the land much more than urban loudmouths I’m quite sure.

Kanuka holds our unstable hills together and is also an incredible habitat for our native birds, geckos and insects. Untold millions of creatures die instantly when it is sprayed and burned off.
This to me is one major example of what needs to change.
