Warning that livelihoods are at stake, farmers are looking to conservative candidates who will unwind or delay these Labour policies. The two will travel the length of New Zealand over 10 days to encourage rural communities to vote for a change. Farmers in New Zealand have staged several protests in the past two years against growing regulations and agricultural emission schemes. New Zealand will also become the first country in the world to tax farmer for methane from animals from 2025. Wayne Langford, president of farmer lobby group Federated Farmers, said recent policies had been impractical, difficult to implement and caused significant frustrations.

Andrew Hoggard, national president of Federated Farmers, said many Labour regulations were impractical and made farming difficult.
