New Zealand Farmers

One of the largest environmental issues in New Zealand is the greenhouse gases that its 6.2 million cows naturally release.

A much-talked about study tour to Singapore, Australia and New Zealand for Maharashtra ministers ended Tuesday night but on Wednesday morning, one of the ministers who went on that tour surprised everyone by saying that the papers of what they studied will arrive later.

As parts of Maharashtra grapple with the consequences of five back-to-back years of drought, the state's Agriculture Minister, accompanied by 15 lawmakers, has flown to Australia and New Zealand for two weeks to review how those countries handle loans to farmers. A one-day stop in Singapore has also been worked into the itinerary.

There's nothing flashy about Bill English. Critics say the former finance minister and farmer who became New Zealand's prime minister on Monday is downright boring. But English hopes his steadiness and experience in handling the economy will prove reassuring when New Zealanders go to the polls next year.

A New Zealand man was charged with blackmail Tuesday after allegedly threatening to poison baby formula in a bid to extort money from the country's multi-billion-dollar dairy industry.

New Zealand has received an "eco-terrorist" threat to poison baby formula, Prime Minister John Key said today, in a scare that risks further denting the country's "clean, green" reputation.

Work across India and Pakistan will come to a grinding halt on Wednesday as bureaucrats, factory workers, farmers and millions of other cricket fans gather to watch the World Cup semi-final.
