Hundreds of farmers will be outside Parliament this morning for a protest organised by the environmental group '50 Shades of Green'.
The group says it is concerned that good pastoral land is being sold to forestry.
But some forestry industry leaders say the protestors are from the 'misinformed fringes of the farming community'.
Gisborne farmer Kerry Worsnop will be taking part in the protest, and Peter Weir is the president of the Forest Owners Association.
They speak to Corin Dann.
