A Northern Hawke's Bay farmer caught up in the response to a bovine tuberculosis outbreak in the area says they're not getting the support they need to stay afloat.
The animal health agency, OSPRI, works to control the spread of the disease, which is mainly transmitted by possums.
While OSPRI has been working to get the outbreak under control, more than 500 farms have had to spend the last 12 months operating under restricted livestock movement controls.

Latest figures released from OSPRI this month showed there were 15 TB-infected herds - down from 20 last year.
