"Farmers need to get off the fence and stand with us against stupidity."
The petition was organised by Groundswell NZ, a group which stemmed from a tractor trek in Gore in October expressing farmers' feelings about the new regulations.
It had been signed by more than 1600 people, and Paterson hoped it would reach at least 2000 signatures.

Those who had not signed needed to consider if they wanted to be "bound up in the whole consenting process and spend half their time doing that or stand with us and put up a bit of a fight", Paterson said yesterday.
