Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are wrapping the country with the Farmer panel. I want
to start with Stu Duncan and the Many of Toto,
but short on time, Stu, and that's because Ferg Craig
Ferguson was going on about the Many a Toto maggots.
How did you come up with a name like that
for your local footy team.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm not sure how that came about. Actually, there was
a bit of a chance to give a name going
and some of the older members of the club might
have come up with that, but I'm not sure who
it was. But they did pretty well and clean up
walkt up last week and as many times Walket have
come down there to the Minnitota Stadium and got beaten.
So yeah, poor old Ferg, but it'd be It's not
an uncommon thing to beat Walket up, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Okay, Stu Low, I'm heading to North Canterbury now do
you need an arc?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
No, we went too bad. I think we dodged a
bullet because they told us we're going to get north
of one hundred and thirty mills and we only that,
which is over one hundred so a lot better than
people south of christ Church to one hundred and sixty
five and Little River and around that well over two hundred.
So yeah, christ Church East and South was inundated with
lots of rain and wind.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hey sometimes Stu, you guys heading to winter and Canterbury
and you're worried about moisture recharge for your soils. It
won't be an issue after this summer and autumn.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I actually did buy some caves, yes, and as I
was going across my walls sheep pedict which is quite bony,
there was water lying on it last night, but they
gone this morning. So yeah, that's sort of one of
my light At Paddocks, sour water table's not that high,
but we've got good covers and bag are all run off.
So it's been a really good rain and a lot

(01:36):
better now than in August or September.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
When you're lemming, Stu Duncan you're in the many A
Toto there, you know, the ran Philly region and surrounds.
I think if there's a duck shooting capital of the country,
it's your area.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah. Well, it's pretty popular around here, that's for sure.
A lot of people come from all over the country
and they're flying in from the North Island and probably
as we speak. But you know, there's a million nake
is the land surrounded by mountains in the Minnotato Sarey's
a lot of creeks and rivers and ponds and that's
pretty a pretty traditional spot for ducks, for duck hunting
and ducks you know, for a long time. So it's

(02:11):
pretty trendy and it's a great thing.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Really.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
It keeps a lot of communities bubbling along. And I'm
good for the local pubs and the sports stores and everything.
Love that and it's good catch up with the mates,
and it's never more proven than this last week. Got
to mate put her mind way up around here, and
then a week later he's getting a three centimeter of
brain tumor taken out of his head and he can't
make it. So for all the guys that do make
the effort to get around and see all their mates
and catch up once and here, it's a great thing

(02:34):
because you never know when you get a bit of
bad luck and being your tube.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Absolutely, hey, look I've got to go. Guys, thank you
very much for your time and really poignant words there
from Ste Duncan
