He expected fencing contractors and ultimately farmers were going to have to pay significantly higher prices for steel fencing supplies and other steel products during the coming year. Willie Lake, of Lake Contracting, Omakau, has been in business for nearly 20 years. He said the expected price increases would mean it would cost more to do the job, which affected farmers and the amount of work available to contractors.
