From Checkpoint, 5:07 pm on 16 July 2021

The country came to town today as farmers expressed their frustration at what they call a barrage of red tape and new taxes.

They came by tractor and ute to 50 centres, from Kaitaia to Invercargill, and urged their dogs to bark in unison and send a clear message to Wellington.

Christchurch RNZ reporter Conan Young and cameraman, Nathan McKinnon have the story.
