Lately, a subset of farmers have been refusing to fill in the Agricultural Census, despite it being a legal requirement.  Groundswell is a driving force behind these farmers, as they're united in wanting to protest the Government's emissions tax. Co-founder of Groundswell, Bryce McKenzie, says that he's noticed this protest is having some effect on the Government, as they've extended the Census collection deadline. "We're not saying we don't want to do this, because there's a lot of good that can come from doing a Census as well. But what we're saying is- let's change the metric so that we're actually getting fair value for what we're doing." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The turn-out may not have been as big, but the organisers are still deeming today's protests a success. Thousands of farmers have revved their tractors, trucks and utes in protest to the Government's proposed livestock emissions plan. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie says they're pleased, considering they had eight days to prepare. He says it's the busiest time of the year, with lambing season in full swing and farmers planting crops and vegetables. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Groundswell organisers are defending yesterdays low turn-out and condemning criticism from the Agriculture Minister. Hundreds of protesters across 60 convoys jumped in their utes, trucks and tractors in opposition of the Government's proposed farm-level emissions pricing scheme. Organisers had been predicting thousands 24 hours earlier. Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor described the size of the crowds across the country as 'embarrassing.' Groundswell Organiser Bryce McKenzie told Kate Hawkesby O'Connor's comments are very disappointing. He says while he'd hoped for higher numbers, it's a very busy time on the farming calendar. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tractors will take to our roads today as part of a nation-wide protest organised by Groundswell. The farmer advocacy group opposes the government's emission pricing scheme plan and expects "thousands" will vent their feelings from midday. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie spoke to Corin Dann.

Jamie Mackay referees a debate between the Groundswell NZ co-founder and the Minister of Agriculture. McKenzie questions whether O'Connor stands up for Kiwi farmers after the Government's farm emissions pricing scheme. He also talks about Groundswell NZ's planned protest against the scheme and warns that "this is just the beginning".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farming protesters are preparing to make a stand over the latest Government moves on taxing livestock emissions.  Utes, tractors and trucks are being encouraged to converge in main city centres next Thursday.  They say the "We're Not Going to Take It' protest is in response to the Government's assault on food production and rural communities.  Groundswell's Bryce McKenzie told Heather du Plessis Allan farmers are very cross.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new proposal - a world first - which will see farmers pay for their emissions from 2025 has drawn criticism from both farmers and environmentalists. The document, now up for consultation, would see Cabinet ministers set the rates for greenhouse gases. Some environmental groups say it's not far enough. Opposition pollies believe it will drive harmful emissions overseas. Federated Farmers says it'll rip the guts out of small-town New Zealand. It's not a new idea - pricing emissions dates back to Helen Clark's leadership when it was dubbed the ‘fart tax', as it largely charges for methane produced by cows. Lobby group Groundswell wants the heads of Dairy NZ and Beef and Lamb NZ put out to pasture, claiming they have failed to act as an industry voice. Groundswell co-founder Bryce McKenzie and Agricultural Minister Damien O'Connor gave their sides of the argument on Tova on Wednesday morning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The co-founders of Groundswell admit they have not read the three waters legislation they are so vehemently against.

Groundswell co-founders Laurie Paterson and Bryce McKenzie also said they haven't read the proposed legislation. Paterson says, nonetheless, they're opposed to what's on the table.

Farming protest group Groundswell says it won't meet the Prime Minister alongside other agricultural lobby groups. Groups such as Dairy-NZ and Beef and Lamb have been working with the Government on a way for farmers to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions while avoiding joining the Emissions Trading Scheme. Groundswell New Zealand co-founder Bryce McKenzie told Morning Report the group doesn't want to be lumped in with them because it doesn't believe they represent the country's farmer base. He says Groundswell isn't against reducing emissions, but the proposed levy amounts to a tax. Groundswell believes its email subscriber base is bigger than Federated Farmers.

Groundswell NZ, the farmer-led group behind July's "Howl of a Protest", is planning another event on November 21 - "The Mother of all Protests". In an interview with The Country's Jamie Mackay, the Minister of Agriculture Damien O'Connor was asked if he would consider meeting with Groundswell NZ. Yesterday on The Country, Groundswell NZ co-founder Bryce McKenzie denied the group was anti-vax, or that it had ties to Bishop Brian Tamaki. This came after one of the group's coordinators was photographed meeting with leaders of Destiny Church. "He contacted us some time ago before the coalition of freedoms and rights people started having these get-togethers," McKenzie told Mackay. "He said that he was meeting with the Tamakis and we said that wasn't a good idea and that if he was doing that he certainly wasn't to be using the Groundswell name because we didn't want them involved." Listen to Jamie Mackay interview Bryce McKenzie on The Country below: McKenzie said it was something the coordinator was "doing personally" and Groundswell NZ didn't want to be "guilty by association". "Whatever individuals get involved in we have no right to stop them. We asked them not to do it. If they do it as an individual - what can we do?" Mackay told O'Connor that McKenzie and his co-founder Laurie Paterson were not anti-vax, although he was concerned "The Mother of all Protests" could be "hijacked by extremists". O'Connor said he thought Groundswell had done good work but risked being "dragged down by the people who may not represent the majority". Jamie MacKay joined Heather du Plessis-Allan and told her that now is not the right time to be protesting.He says you've got to pick your battles. LISTEN ABOVE

The co-founder of Groundswell says the "Mother of all Protests", scheduled for November 21, is not a tone-deaf exercise by entitled farmers. He also denies the protest group has been hi-jacked by the Tamakis and other extremists.

Thousands of farmers are expected to demonstrate in over 50 towns and cities across the country at midday today to protest at recent environmental regulations and a seasonal workers' shortage in the horticultural sector. They're calling for the scrapping of the government's clean car package, dubbed the 'ute tax', as well as national policy statements on freshwater management and indigenous biodiversity.
