Show Notes
A series of livestock sales making way for blanket afforestation on a productive hill-country station on the Hokonui Hills in Southland isn't being received well by local farmers.
The Government announced changes to limit the amount of full farm to forestry conversions in December last year, with changes set to kick in by October.
The Country's Jamie Mackay unpacks the community backlash.
