Grass is growing at a phenomenal rate in the North Island. Central Otago's hills are looking green and the flats below them even greener. In Southland winter crops are growing well and baleage has been spaced out in the crop paddocks ready for break-feeding a bit further down the track. The Marlborough grape grower we called this week was out handpicking sauvignon grapes for his reserve sauvignon blanc. He says the grape harvest has a couple of weeks to go with pinot.
