2010 tough year for growers

6:02 am on 5 January 2011

Federated Farmers says extreme weather made 2010 a tough growing season.

It says flooding in Marlborough last week caused havoc for growers and farmers there.

Meanwhile, the Southland region which was hit by a severe snow storm in September, is now too dry.

However, the federation does not anticipate a big impact on food prices.
