On 4 October 2024, Minister of Agriculture, Todd McClay, and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Patterson declared a medium-scale adverse event for the entire Southland region and Clutha district as a result of challenging spring weather and recent significant rainfall.

To help affected farmers and growers we have made a ‘class of case’ determination for the Income Equalisation Scheme to allow:

  • late deposits for the 2024 year until 1 May 2025
  • early withdrawals if the deposit was made prior to the Ministerial announcement on 4 October 2024.

We have more information about this event and the help available to farmers and growers below.
