Farming organisations are hitting back at Groundswell after the controversial group slagged them off. Groundswell has called for the resignation of the chairs of both Beef+Lamb and DairyNZ, saying they haven't been tough enough on the Government's emission pricing scheme. Beef + Lamb Chairman Andrew Morrison says his group would prefer no pricing, but says the Government's made it clear at least some will happen. He says they don't support any system which would put farmers and communities at risk. Meanwhile Dairy NZ Chair Jim van der Poel says if Groundswell is unhappy with the scheme, it should take it up with the Government. It says it will be pushing strongly during the consultation process in the coming weeks to make the system more workable for farmers.
