Vice Chancellor of Massey University Steve Maharey caught up with Jamie Mackay today to talk about the state of New Zealand waterways.

Maharey sums up his thoughts on the opinions and backgrounds of Professor Rowarth and Dr. Joy who had both just taken part in our water quality debate. Who does he agree with?

Water is going to be not only a massive issue for farming but for the entire world says Steve Maharey and he thinks New Zealand faces a big challenge to live up to our clean, green image.

100% transparency is the way to go with all farming matters in the future and according to Steve Maharey this is just 'PR 101'.
