There has been a recently developed web app for Hawkes Bay farmers to access via the HB Regional Council. This app is to help build drought awareness and resilience in the community, by providing farmers with a pulse check on the key climatic conditions on their farm and the wider area, and support their planning for dry conditions.
“For farmers in this area, we would be recommending that they put together a feed budget and a plan for drought, and access the support of primary sector organisations if required” To access the tool, go to hbrc.govt.nz and search #drought app.
