Weather improves as rain boosts pasture across regions
Farmers report rain has revived pastures and eased winter feeding fears after a drought. In March 1911 Gren Lea Carew measured 0.58 inches over six days, while Kyle recorded six points for the month. A press telegram notes widespread rain in Taranaki and Auckland, with significant benefits to pastoral, farming and mining interests amid concerns about feed shortages and factory closures. Te Ruiti residents anticipate relief as tanks fill and water supply improves.
