The chief executive of Rural Contractors NZ says the industry hasn't seen any of the extra workers promised by the Government in December 2021 and he predicts they won't arrive until March this year.

Sam Owen:

This Waikato farmer is captaining the New Zealand team for the Run1000 initiative. Owen is raising funds for Farmstrong in the hope of also raising awareness of mental health and its importance in the agricultural and rural industry. You can support Team New Zealand here.
