From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 12 October 2020

It's three-years since farmers staged a protest in Jacinda Ardern's home town of Morrinsville just one week out from the 2017 general election.

They were worried about the possibility of a Labour-Green coalition and more compliance costs and regulations, particularly around the environment.

Now, five-days out from the 2020 election and after three years of a Labour led government, what is the mood?

Waikato reporter Andrew McRae spoke with Te Puninga dairy farmer Peter Le Heron and asked him if anything had changed from his perspective.
