Kate Acland: Beef + Lamb NZ Chair on the proposed changes to the Resource Management Act - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Farmers are welcoming a proposal to remove difficult rules from the Resource Management Act.

They include changes to freshwater management and regulation of farming practices.
