Wairarapa grain storage set to benefit farmers
Wairarapa farmers and allied contractors will reap the benefits of a $1. 55 million loan from the Regional Infrastructure Fund to support the establishment of a new grain drying and storage facility in Carterton. The loan will enable farmers to store up to 4000 tonnes of grain in the region instead of trucking it to Manawatu for storage, Associate Regional Development Minister Mark Patterson says.
