My wife and I have been actively farming in the Menzies Ferry District for 12 years. The property is 211 ha in total, with the dairy unit comprising 85 ha. A married couple are also employed on the farm. My property backs on to the Mataura River. Ninety-nine percent of the property floods in a loo-year flood - there have been three such floods in the last 10 years.
