Welcome to Mike Plowman’s Blog
The reason I started this blog site was that during my time as a Regional Councilor, I found that I could not get adequate media coverage of Local Govt affairs. If at all. The purpose of my blog is the dissemination of information and Regional Council news that the media will not print. All comments made are my views with regard to the chosen subject.

Global Cooling. Wakeing Up. Finally Showing Some balls.

Dangerous Times.
Well well. I am sitting here comtemplating the election result. I have this gut feeling that those of us who speak out should be careful. WE have absolute nutters on public platforms such as Facebook rubbishing farmers,. We have some in the media conducting themselves...

SINK or SWIM. The Process Questioned.

Hells bells and all that . I made the wrong call with NPSFW. Southland farmers up in arms over winter crop restrictions and pugging rules. Minister Parker has made some concessions with regard to troughs and gate ways, but bye the bye is holding the United Nations...
