Are we on the brink of another drought in Hawke's Bay?
For four months the region has received below average rainfall, said Hawke's Bay Regional Council rural advisory group chairman Lochie MacGillivray.
The group
had a meeting on Friday discussing the dry conditions and impacts on farmers.
MacGillivray said the region had experienced below average rainfall for four consecutive months and monitored river flows had fallen below normal levels.
"Groundwater water levels are exceptionally low, pasture growth is minimal and farmers are starting to use supplementary feed."
