Transforming 'dead land' into wetlands

From Afternoons, 1:51 pm on 9 April 2021

A Carterton farmer and his family is on a mission to transform so-called 'dead land' into thriving wetlands.

Clarence Stolte is also urging other farmers, who have farmland too wet for most of the year, to do the same.

He talks to Jesse about how they have done it.
