Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I think we've got the farmer panel. Stew Duncan
and Stulow. Good afternoon lads.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good to have you on now? Stulo, I know you've
played like ten thousand games for Canterbury and the Crusaders,
but it seriously is a real yawn when you guys
win the shield. And I know Stuve Duncan and the
Manototo will agree with me. Does anyone actually care in Canterbury?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh the yes we do, yeah, very much. Look forward
to coming back to sell Country last weekend. Wal We've
been able to watch the game and watch the daughter
play at Mahinob, come across the mgaire Bridge and back
in Schell Country year so it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, I don't know Stu Duncan. It was good while
it was an Otago, to be perfectly honest with you,
and Otago had a long wait between drinks, well over
fifty years when they want it a few years ago.
But it's good in places like in the Cargo, New Plymouth,
I don't know, Napier. Wouldn't it be good to have
it in timrou like South Canterbury again or something like
(00:54):
that as it was in nineteen seventy four or Marlborough.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well like you, I've got to play by today. But
you know, Tiger, But I'm lucky to lose it and
play that well. But it wasn't many points in it
and an intercept or a kack of goal and missed
a couple of kicks a goal and it could have
stayed there and they wouldn't be having this chat.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But yeah, it was a big crowded to the evening.
I miss too.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
He was off the park and on the bus on
the way back to Christ's Clothing but Big John Ladder
told me he was coming up for a paer would
have shook his hand anyway. But that was a good
day down there. But a bit of a shame. But
it does have a massive impact on the small we
retal towns when it goes here, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, John Latter and Stu Low two great names from
the past, well in the past, actually not as old
as news talks.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
They'd be.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We're celebrating, we're blowing out one hundred candles tonight, looking
forward to that one. Okay, I'll stay with su Stu
Duncan because I think Stu Low will be lambing. You'll
be a couple of months off lambing yet.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, we've got our first day of pre lam sharing
today actually, so we're just doing.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The singles at the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And here we start about the first of October to
the tenth of October before we start lamming. But we
had a beautiful day here. We were a fog and
sharing really well on the Wallsbury Bright, so we're quite happy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's true. Low, I know you are an early lamber
in North Canterbury there, but you've also had two knees
replaced this year. Have you retired from the lambing beat?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Ah? Yeah, I lead all themselves. You're not sure my
hogits yesterday? So I've only got a couple hundred hoggits.
The landdowns a couple of weeks time, so I've not
been shorn, and the older you undreds all tidy up
and finished. So I hit the tailors here and the
kind of help the tailing and yeah, then will be set.
But yeah, I got the home home till butcher here
(02:33):
for they actually doing a here for for the house.
So talking about red meat and a good butcher. So
Harley leaning from White Brah, he's he's doing a good
job here.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I bet he's not as good as Rhys Tomanoui,
the young butcher of the Year from Waipeawa.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He's a lot bitter shot than I was anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, well, don't remind me of my butchering career and
pig killing. Yes, we once had a pig escape on
us halfway through the process. It was very embarrass eight
hundred meters later we caught the pig. Anyhow, I digress.
So stew lambing and there's going to be good money.
And we heard from Murray Roland down the road away
(03:13):
bit from you that lambs were selling at the Colgate
Stockyards for four hundred and sixty bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes, yeah, I think there's some bloody cold studs. I
think there. Richard from as You had scored them a
few years back, and yeah, I saw his name pop
up in lights here, so you know, very well done.
There must be a very short supply for this sinnny year.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So yeah, well you've wanted them. They're almost Hoggarts, so
they're big lambs. But I reckon, I still reckon stew
the early lambs this year, you know the ones that
they like. So you get away and mid to late
November they're going to be worth gold as well, aren't
they hopefully?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, because there was another beautiful sunny day here and yeah,
we could do with some moisture, so and it doesn't
look like we're going to give you in the near future.
So yeah, all the lands that are getting borner, they're
getting a good start anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh yeah. I used a scale for fren O'Sullivan in
Zigny's Head of business, one to ten. On a scale
of one to ten at this time of the year,
I think you know, knowing that you need some rains
over the winter to recharge the subsor how dry are you, Stu?
How worried are you with the super al Nino on
the horizon?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, no, very worried. Dames are all full and sweet.
The panic this morning that was in Kale and it's
and it's damp that time here. It's the moistures and
not that far down I don't think so, yeah we could. Yeah,
we're just going to hope for the best and playing
for the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I presume stuw Duncan and the many A tote you're
very summer dry there or often very summer dry, and
super al Nino is not going to be good news.
For you.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Either some of the top top end country where we
get the snow, can get a bit of the noise
to rain that comes in, so it can be quite
good for a corner, but definitely out in the middle
of the plane and to read towards easter, go and
get dry. But we're in a great spot, man. We're
quite wet actually, and we've only really just started putting
some of our harpred hoggits on swedes because it's been
too weak to give them on there.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So we're quite happy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
But we just have to wait and see what happens,
and we don't know, so worry about that when it
gets you.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, stew Duncan Stuello Today's Farmer Panel. Thanks for that, guys,
