Weather prospects rise as rains refresh Ashburton region

Snow is light on the front ranges but heavy on the back ranges of the Southern Alps facing Ashburton. Roads and country have changed markedly, farmers optimistic about stock over winter. Turnips are thriving with bulbs 3–4 inches, rape and kale making gains. A line of 1400 well forward lambs passed Ashburton ready for export after three weeks of feeding, while many craziers hold surplus stock from drought times.
