Eastern Bay of Plenty farmers brace for bad weather

Farmers in the Eastern Bay of Plenty are bracing for the possibility of more bad weather next week after torrential rain on Monday caused some rivers to overflow their banks. Many farms have flooded paddocks with stock moved to higher ground. Farmers says a lot of the water will drain away in the next few days but they are very concerned about how their water sodden land will cope with more heavy rain.
