Groundswell co-founder Bryce McKenzie says turnout at yesterday’s nationwide protest was really good, despite comments from the Agriculture Minister to the contrary.

Farmers took to towns and cities yesterday across the country in tractors and utes to protest the Government’s recently announced emissions pricing plan.

“We’re really happy with the turnout,” McKenzie told Rural News.

He says there was really good turnout for towns like Dunedin, Invercargill and Gisborne and even Auckland had a good showing.
