Hawke's Bay
Introduction
Federated Farmers Hawke's Bay encompasses Hastings, Havelock Waipukarau, Waimarama and Blackhead.
Federated Farmers Hawke's Bay works hard to maintain its good relationships with the three district councils (Hastings, Central Hawke's Bay and Napier), the regional council (Hawke's Bay) as well as rural, environment and community organisations.
The province questions and lobbies all aspects relating to what affects its farming communities.
Hawke's Bay branches serve the areas of Otane, Hastings and Havelock North.
Main issues
Water quality improvement in the Upper Mohaka/Taharua Catchment, Ruataniwha Plain Water Storage Project, four annual council plans and rural subdivision plan change in the Hastings District.

Farm Day
Farm Day is part of the Federations national initiative to extend a welcoming hand to non farmers. During Farm Day farmers explain how they produce great food and care for their animals, removing some of the mystery from farming.
Farm Day 2010 is to be held on Sunday, 28 March. Click here for local details.
