Farmers are telling new Prime Minister Chris Hipkins that the government needs to slow down on its attempts to hold them to account for environmental issues.

This week Beef and Lamb New Zealand, and the Meat Industry Association, have sent their election year manifesto to every Member of Parliament.

Chief executive Sam McIvor says it should be compulsory reading for the new Prime Minister.

McIvor spoke to Corin Dann.
