NAIT reporting timeframes extended in Tairāwhiti and Hawke's Bay
With many farmers still recovering from Cyclone Gabrielle, we have extended NAIT reporting timeframes.
We have extended the timeframes for updating NAIT to help ease some of the pressure on farmers and other People in Charge of Animals (PICAs) in the areas mentioned below:
