A Little At A Time
One lesson he had learned from his experience with gorse eradication was that it did not pay to be too ambitious, a Banks Peninsula farmer, Mr T. D. J. Holderness, told the Lincoln College farmers’ conference last week. “Deal only with an area that your physical as well as your financial resources, not to mention the rest of your farming programme, will allow you to cope with,” he said. “Having started on a particular area be very sure you are in complete control of it before you take on another. This will take several years. I am told that some administrators of the Noxious Weeds Act require a certain portion to be done each year (10 per cent, I believe). If this means a fresh bit being started each year it could be quite Impossible and financially wasteful.”
