Jason Herrick, President of Federated Farmers Southland, delves into the escalating tensions between Southland's farmers and Fish & Game.
The conflict reached a boiling point at the Southland Environment Awards, where a Fish & Game representative publicly criticised Herrick.
Herrick argues that Fish & Game has overstepped its boundaries, engaging too much in policy advocacy rather than focusing on supporting hunters and fishermen.
He explores efforts to engage with government bodies for legislative intervention, highlighting the commitment of the Federated Farmers executive team to achieve positive outcomes for all stakeholders.
