The ministry acknowledged that there was a lot of anxiety amongst farmers due to uncertainty and a perceived loss of control of their farms. We heard that the ministry has been providing support in a number of ways, such as providing relief, farm managers for farmers to be able to take leave. They've also been working with industry groups like DairyNZ, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, and Federated Farmers to provide assistance, particularly in areas with less access to mental health.
