Synlait could be going from the cream of the crop to skimming the edge of survival.

Shareholders of the dairy processor are gathering at its Dunsandel site today to vote on a proposed $218 million capital raise.

Board chair George Adams told Mike Hosking his confidence is high, and it would allow Synlait to move forward from the de-leveraging.

He says they'll then focus on drawing their farmers back and delivering good business.

If voted down, Synlait has warned it will end up in some sort of insolvency process.

George Adams: Synlait Board Chair ahead of the vote on a proposed capital raise

Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade. 

A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid. 

Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back. 

But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply will just move to meet demand and the void will be filled.

There’s an increasing demand for growers in Canterbury.

A reliable water supply and cheaper land than Marlborough and Hawke's Bay are attracting horticulture suppliers to the region.

Vegetables NZ chair John Murphy says it's great to see things like Rockit apples grown in South Canterbury.

He told Mike Hosking it will help achieve the goal of doubling export values, and new opportunities mean fresh produce can continue to be supplied to New Zealand.
