Isolated and frustrated

By Chris Valli

The Rai River on Thursday night had its biggest flood on record, estimated as a 60-year event. A state of emergency was declared on Friday evening for Marlborough with the scale of the damage thought to be worse than the storm of July 2021, which damaged 460km of the

region’s roads and cut off residents in the Marlborough Sounds, Waihopai Valley and Awatere Valley for months. Rai Valley Dairy Farmer Michael Shearer owns a 175 cow farm between Canvastown and Pelorus Bridge. He also sharemilks a 375 cow farm at Canvastown. Continued on page 2.

Rai Valley Dairy Farmer Michael Shearer says “It’s the stress of dealing with the situation and knowing it’s going to be ongoing for months. Finding feed for cows and fixing things up.”
