Nueva Zelanda: US$ 4 millones para ayudar a agricultores afectados por Ciclón Gabrielle
Farmers are counting the cost of Cyclone Gabrielle as they start the massive task of recovery.
Some are seeing dry land for the first time in days while others are still waiting for floodwaters to retreat and reveal how hard they had been hammered.
Dairy NZ farm performance general manager Sarah Speight said some farms in the central North Island had been flooded eight times this year.
This week, some areas in Hawke’s Bay reported 2 metres of silt washed on to grazing land.
On most dairy farms farmers were waiting for water to recede to see what damage was done, but some would definitely needed to resow grass, she said.
A real concern was dairy farms without power that could not milk. Cows that were not milked could contract mastitis in their udders, she said.
