Federated Farmers continues GM-free stoush in Hawke's Bay

From Morning Report, 8:55 am on 12 April 2018

Federated Farmers is preparing to challenge yet another local authority over it's GM-free status, despite a string of failed court battles over the issue. Hastings District Council was the first local authority in the country to ban GMO crops and animals under its district plan in 2015, prompting Federated Farmers to immediately challenge the rule in the Environment Court. RNZ Hawke's Bay reporter Anusha Bradley has been following developments and joins us now.
