Stock sale yards a crucial for selling stock. Even more so with severe drought and very limited space available in freezing works.

I have seen how desperate this issue has become within our, and other regions. I also have family involved directly with this issue., having seen the work and achieve their goals and livelihood. They care for the stock. LETS CARE ALSO both for the stock and farmers.

We need to be able to sell stock with departure date certainty now. Farms are running out of water and feed and these need to be conserved for capital stock for the benefit of the future of nz

Feel that social distancing can still be achieved with sales open. Farming is a massive if not one of the biggest incomes in Nz and keeps us going. Let’s support our farmers as well!

#297

Those attending the sale yards can reasonably keep their distances - they can wash/sanitise hands and their regular exposure to the public is likely less than any other members of the public due to their rural living. If the protocols are put in place to keep farmers safe then they need to be opened now.

Deborah Burnside (Napier, 2020-05-04)

It is the time of year when stock gets moved from farms who need to reduce stock for winter to orchards that need need be grazed over winter. It is a lot easier if this process can take place at the sale yards. It would not be that hard to ensure safe social distancing
