Nick Mills chats with Groundswell organiser pre-protest

It could be a slow trip for some commuters on the roads, as farmers take a stand against the Government. Thousands are expected to gather in the country's main centres today in retaliation to the proposed livestock emissions plan. Groundswell's Bryce McKenzie isn't expecting chaos, but says there'll be some disturbance on the roads as tractors can only travel at 40 kilometres per hour. He says they want to send a strong message on how disastrous it will be. McKenzie claims the policy will take 26 per cent of farms out of production in New Zealand - and if that happens there'll be massive repercussions. Edwards joins Nick Mills on Wellington Mornings.
