Farmers are concerned about Far North District Council s proposed changes to rates, which will see rural rates increase 30 per cent in a year.
Far North farmers are questioning a plan to increase their rates as much as 37 per cent in one year, saying they are unfairly being seen as a cash cow. But Far North Mayor John Carter said the changes are not set in stone, and councillors will decide on the rating system once they have considered all submissions.
