Hon DAVID PARKER: Well, I'm not in a position to give advice to farmers as to how to manage those costs, except to say that when a resource consent is applied for and granted, it is generally a multi-year consent, so those costs are spread over a long time. In respect of the time period, this has been coming for some years. In respect of the people that do have intensive winter grazing that is on slopes of greater than 10 degrees or that are concerned that they might infringe the rules, they should contact their regional council early. In fact, the rules don't apply to the planting of crops; they apply to the grazing of them, which will generally be from the onset of winter next year. But I would encourage people to contact their councils earlier so that there are no untoward surprises.
