Speaker 3 (00:27):
What i'ns down to.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Is because.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
New and welcome to the Country. I'm Jamie McKay, trying
to multitask, not doing a very good job of it.
Songs from Glastonbury. You're all waiting for the All Black
team and it's just been announced. We've got Phil Duncan
with some weather for Smiley Barrett. We're going to go
to the Coastal Club. David Kirk is in the process
of naming the team as we speak, but it is
(01:07):
out there in the public domain, so here we go.
We have five new All Blacks. Brody McAllister the Chief's hooker,
Olie Norris, Chief's prop Fabian Holland, Yeah, that was a
good one. The Highlanders, Locke du plus Carrefie the Wellington
flanker and as injury cover. He's in the squad as
(01:28):
injury cover for Luke Jacobson. As Christian Leo Willie, the
Crusaders Lucy So just running through that squad for you,
and we'll get more informed comment from some of our
experts later in the hour. Hookers Cody Taylor, Samasoni, Tucky
(01:49):
Ahal and Brody McAllister, New All Black, Ethan de Group
to Mighty, williams, Olly Norris, New All Black, Tyrrell Lomax,
Tyrol Lomax, Fletcher Newall and Passili Otosi. No surprises there.
Scott Barrett's the captain along and locking with Patrick Tueipolotu

new cap. The loose forwards are Samma Penny, Fenale, Ardi Savia,
the New Guy, Duplassy, Carrefi, Wallace Setiti and Luke Jacobson.
The halfbacks as expected cam Roygard, Cortez, Ratama and Noah Hotham.
First five surprise surprise Bowden Barrett and Damien McKenzie. In
(02:31):
the midfield. They've found room for Anton Lennett Brown, although
we do have injury cover for him. Jordi Barrett will
be vice captain of the team alongside Ardi Savia, Ricco
Yuanni Quintapire, making it in no David Harveli, Billy Proctor
is in there. And here's perhaps one of the pleasant surprises.
(02:53):
Timothy Tava Tava Nawai, the Highlander has made it. Outside
backs Caleb Clark, Sevu re Swell, Jordan Reuben Love injury cover.
The following players, as I said, had been named as
injury cover for the French series. Christian Leo Willie is

(03:14):
in the Super Rugby Final. And Amoni Narua is cover
for Antonine Brown unavailable due to injury, Amoa Offer, Toga Farsi,
Sam Dowry, Peter Larkeye and Stephen Parafetta. So there is
your All Black team. We'll head to the Coastal Rugby
(03:34):
Club very shortly once David Kirk has finished officially announcing
that rugby team. But let's get one of our real
rugby experts on to comment about that and the weather,
Phil Duncan. Phil, what do you make of the All
Black side?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh, it sounds really good. Teen out of ten.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're not a big rugby man though, Phil.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm from a family that loves rugby, so grew up with,
you know, watching the games in the middle of the
night and all that stuff. And I do still like
the big games. I watched the Crusader's play the Chiefs
at the weekend. But I'm not a very big yeah fan.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Put it that way.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I don't know enough about rugby like I do about
clouds and things like that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
All right, I will get you onto your area of expertise,
and that is the weather. And you sent me a
text this morning. Burst of windy and wet weather mid
to late this week nationwide from the west, then wintry
lower South Island this weekend after a brief MIDWEK warm up.
I'm going to be in christ Church for the next
few days for the Primary industry summit. I'm missing golf
(04:35):
on Wednesday. What a tragedy that is. But I also
have a rugby reunion in Southland over the weekend. I
better bring the wallies.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah you will. I mean, if you're in christ Church,
it'll be pretty pleasant on Wednesday and Tuesday, petime high
sixteen seventeen degrees, maybe warmer overnight lows and the double
digits for a time. But that's all ahead of this
coal change. So basically, to make the week simple, we've
got high pressure moving into the country today. That's why
it's windy around Auckland and some northern parts of New
(05:05):
Zealand and some other exposed places. Tomorrow we've got the
high pressure zone. So if a frosty start in the
South Islands and terrier maybe around the Central Plateau and
the North Island, but by Wednesday that high's already leaving
in comes the windy Northwest is partially out of the subtropics,
so our temperatures go up nationwide, frosts all disappear. Rain
comes in on Thursday Friday and then turns to showers
(05:27):
and behind all of that, that's where the wintry weather
comes in. It's mainly when I say wintery, I mean
sort of you know, single digit daytime, hide overnight loads
back down around freezing snow on the mountains. But to
be honest with you, so far this winter it's been
a bit of a ho hum winter from a severe
weather point of view, which is great, so hopefully we
can keep that up, but it's a lot of big
(05:48):
high pressure zone still moving through it the month.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, if you're going to get crap weather or bad
weather pardon my French, there are folio jones, the perfect
months to get it for everyone.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It is and you know I said this in my
Farmer's Weekly, the last couple of weeks, when is our
coldest period of weather? Because traditionally, when you look at
the what we get each month, you'd say, well, that's
usually July and August. But it changes every year depending
on the high pressure zones we've got moving around. So
we don't know yet if we've had our coldest period
of weather. Chances are we haven't. But the last the
(06:20):
first week of June was very cold to the South Island.
So interesting to see what we get because as we
get closer to spring, the windy westerly is kind of
like what we're seeing this week, they wake up a
bit more. So it'd be interesting to see how July
shapes up and August. We can still get winter weather
right through till October, but the coldest period of the
year can be anywhere from May through till August.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, Phil, hey, thanks for some of your time and
that insight for Rugby commentary. Welcome, good on you, Phil
Duncan there from weather Watch. Jeremy Rooks is going to
be on the show, are we But later in the hour,
our lifestyle correspondent, I'll be farmer corresponding. Is Apple play dick?
Is that the right word, Jeremy? I think it is
(07:02):
that there's no Ethan Blackadder in there, and you'd have
to think he's pretty unlucky. She played well in the final,
didn't he. So we'll go through and tell you who's
missed out. And I probably technically was wrong when I
said five New All Blacks at the beginning, because there's
like effectively six if you count Christian Leo Willie. He
(07:23):
may not get on the park of course, he's in
there as injury cover for Luke Jacobson. But the five
new All Blacks a brody McAllister from the Chiefs, the
hooker obviously off the back of Amor being unavailable. Oli Norris.
Everyone seems to I don't know much about front row
(07:44):
for would play, to be honest, but everyone says he
was a showing and he really deserves it. Well done,
Oli Norris, Fabian Holland. I do know a wee bit
about him. He is a Highlander, he's only twenty two
years of age. He is in there duplas Karefi where
you argue with him being in there. The Wellington or
(08:04):
the Hurricanes open sider brilliant over the ball, as is
Timothy Tava Tava Nawai, also from the Highlanders. So there's
there's your five new All Blacks. Okay, we're going to
take a bit of a break and hopefully the old
cell coverage is slightly dodgy, I think at the Coastal
(08:25):
Rugby Club, home of the Barretts. Of course two Barretts
are three Barretts in the team. One is captain Scott
Ardie Saville is the not Ardi Savilla and Jordie are
the vice captains. And I'm just looking through the list
of All Blacks that's got their age and numbers of caps,
and I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I'm saying Bowden Barrett
(08:47):
is the most capped All Black quite away it looks
like one hundred and thirty four. The interesting thing about
Boden Barrett is he he's still in great nick, He's
still playing great rugby. Will he will he challenge Sam
Whitelock's one hundred and fifty three tests for the All
Blacks You'd have to think if he's going to hang
around for the next Rugby World Cup, he will do it.
(09:10):
Interesting times. We'll take a break here on the country
and come back hopefully with Smiley Barrett the Coastal Rugby
Club in South Taranaki.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Welcome Maggie.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Thank I got some say.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
This lads.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
September and I really should be back at school.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay, welcome back to the country. All sorts of fun
and games in the studio today. Oh no, Smiley's just
texted me to say, try Now, what do I do?
I've got Richard McIntyre on from Federated Farmers or Smiley
Barrett on the All Black Team. What do you reckon? Richard?
Should I drop you for Smiley?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm far more important than Smiley, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Can you text Smiley? Michelle? There you go, here's my phone.
Text him and tell them we'll ring them in five.
Have you heard the new All Black Team, Richard?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No, haven't you. I've actually been in a darian Ze
board meeting.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
All right, you're living the dream. Okay, We've got five
new All Blacks just for those who are joining us.
Brody McAllister, Olly Norris, Fabian Holland Duplessy Carrefi and I'm
so pleased to see the guy get a go. Timothy
Tavatava Nahai.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
There, the five new All Blacks will talk to Smiley
about that and just attack. Now you're stepping aside from
Federated Farmers effectively this week. It's like your AGM. It's
the primary Industry Summit and the Primary Industry Awards tomorrow night.
Then you're done.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, that's right, Jamie. It's it's interesting sort of experience,
sort of winding down from a role that of absolutely love.
For the last three years. It's been an absolute privilege
to you know, to serve farmers and yeah, it's sort
of mixed emotions really, but you know, I've got some
really good people coming through and it's time to give
them a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I suppose I've been a bit waylaid by the naming
of the All Black Side, but I did read something
this morning about you talking about a couple of your
really big ones and I'm just trying to remember what
the second one was, but the first one, and you
have been driving this on behalf of Federated Farmers, is
the banking inquiry.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's something that I've been mentally passionate about, and you know,
it's something that you know, farmers absolutely needed dumb you know,
FEDS to stand up on their behalf and if you
ask a few questions that every farmer was asking behind
the scenes, and you know, we fought really hard to
get their banking inquiry over the line. It's taken place
and we're now waiting for that report. But what we
(11:55):
really need to do Great Foods is really pushed for
some meaningful change to the real banking system actually functions
better for farmers.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
What was the other one?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So the other one was immigration. You know, we've had
had a heap of work to do in that space
to ensure that farmers have reasonable access to migrant staff
where they need it. And you know, we've had it's
been a bit of a political hot potato over the years,
and we've had some regulation which has made it really
hard for farmers to get stuff when they need them
at times, you know, just really really long processing times
(12:24):
all that sort of stuff, and a lot of uncertainty
and farmers need certainly especially leading into carving when they
need to have their workforces planned. So look, a lot
of if it went into into advocating with government to
make that better, and I think we've got most of
over the line.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Which is great.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What would we do in this country without the Filipino community.
They're milking most of the cows in the country for us.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh, look exactly. You know, we do need access to
migrant stuff, and you know we've sally do have a
heap of Filipinos and other nationalities that do help to
milk our cows and they add so much value to
our royal communities as well. So we need to make
sure that we can have a good immigration system that
stands the test of time and gives every uncertainty.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Are we too lazy to milk them ourselves?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, I think it's a little bit more complex than that.
You know, we've got a largely urbanized population and it's
really hard to get people to move out of cities
to work on farm. You know, we've still got a
huge role to play and actually making the ag sector
more attractive to urbanites in that respect, and so we
need to keep on pushing to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But Richard, if you're living in semi poverty and say
South Auckland would be a good example, and you hear
stories of people working three jobs just to keep a
roof over their head and feed the family, you could
go down to Southland. Admittedly, if you could put up
with the cold and get a farmhouse, your kids will
go to a nice country primary school, you'll get some
(13:49):
meat and milk, you'll get a few other perks with
the job, and you'll build a career. You won't just
be a laborer. Why wouldn't people take it up?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, Look, you're exactly right, and it is about getting
the message out there. There's also the issue around family
connection of that and often you know, people in those situations,
you know they've got strong family connection and they do
have to move away from that. So we've got to
find ways to resolve that side of things. You know,
a better real connectivity would definitely help in some areas
because after the areas they find it hardest to get
(14:18):
staff also have very poor real connectivity, so that people
find it harder to stay in touch with their loved ones.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Okay, as we said, you're signing off this week at
the Primary Industry Summit and christ Church. Do we know
who's going to replace you at Federated Farmers as dairy
chair or do they have an election? How does it work?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
No, we don't at this point, Jarry. This is an
exciting time for the SAIDs Dairy Council. We have an
election with our two candidates standing. We've got Carldin from
Canterbury and Phil Sherwood from the White canter So yeah,
I'll be bringing a bit of popcorn along to the
agem to sort of see how that plays out.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Are we going to have any other positions up for grabs.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
In terms of the Dairy Council.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, we've got we're different people standing for the vice
chair role and also for the Deary Executive, So yeah,
there will be elections all round which will Yeah, it's
good to have good competition for space is and that
sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I take it. No one's challenging Yolo Wayne Langthor for
the presidency. He's too mind you. He's that busy selling
himself off to let me think Toyota Yamaha one New Zealand.
Has he had anyone else to responsor the stable since
I last chatted to him?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Look not that he's declared in their conflicts of interest
for the board at this point, Jamie. So no, no,
And no one's challenging me that he's doing a very
good job on behalf of Farmers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
He's a great front person for Federated Farmers and I
actually mean that in all sincerity. Right, Well, we'll see
you tomorrow at the Primary Industry Summit. And guess who's
them seeing the awards this year? And guess he's got
a week surprise in store for you and some of
your mates at Feeds.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Oh no, yeah, there you go, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
If I could just say one last thing, like just
thank you to all your listeners. So many of them
have actually reached out to me over the years to
just you know, share these stories and what's going on
for them. Minutes really really helped me because you're on
your behalf. So look, thank you so much, really appreciate it.
And well I said, it's been an absolute privilege to.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Serve God on you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There we go, Richard McIntyre dairy chair stepping aside from
Fed's or the dairy chair position at Feeds. But he's
still here as a board member of dairy en Z. Right,
Michelle's wanted and sue the studio. Have you got Smiley
teed up for after the break, Michelle.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I have.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
I think he's ready to go. Is he hopefully takes
us back?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Now let's have a look Smiley, Barrett. No, he hasn't yet,
but we'll get him and we'll get his take on that.
He's got three boys in the All Blacks or three
young men, three lads. Obviously, Scott's the captain. Pleased to
see he's because people were putting the boot into Scott
Barrett saying he wasn't playing very well. He's class and
(16:47):
he's kind of a do as I do leader rather
than do as I say. And I think it's great
and we can free up Artie to do what he
wants to do. He's the vice captain along with Jordi Barrett.
So someone interesting emissions I think are Jeremy Rooks apoplectic
is the word no no Ethan Blackadder, and he hasn't
(17:07):
missed out due to injury, so I think he's pretty
unlucky because gee, he was good in the final. Did
you watch the Super Rugby Final?
Speaker 7 (17:15):
I think admittedly I am the only one and probably
the whole of New Zealand it didn't, probably because I'm
quite bitter, because you know, I'm from a Targo and
watching the Crusades just hurts me.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, but the Crusaders, you've got to hand it to them,
even though it pains me to say this. They were
the best team. They deserve to win, and they know
how to play finals footy. They just ground the opposition down.
And so much for me being a rugby hundant or expert.
I said, the difference between the two teams is going
to be Damien Mackenzie versus rivers Rayharna, And it probably
(17:48):
was the difference in some ways, but I got it
round the wrong way. What would I know? Anyhow? Up next,
Smiley Barrett from the Coastal Rugby Club. If you've just
joined us and you're saying, what's he prattling on about?
It's the new all Black team. That's thirty five of them.
What they're all going to do? I don't know. But anyhow,
Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian Holland, Duplessy Carrefi and Timothy
(18:12):
Tava Tava Nawai. I'm so pleased. And he's a really
good young rugby player. The fallback for the Highlanders with
the longest name in the history of rugby was relieved
when he wasn't named because I could never split it out.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Are you practicing that? No?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
No, I didn't even bother practicing. I just took a punt.
He wouldn't make it. He probably he's close to it.
Neatkin's right anyhow, Smiley barrowed up next on the country.
(18:48):
We'll come back to the country. All sorts of fun
and games we've got. We're going to the Coastal Rugby
Club where the All Black team has just been named.
Smiley Barrett, the great man that he is, father of
three All Blacks, has climbed up a Norfolk pine to
get some reception. Have I got your Smiley?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
You can hear me.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Well, it's always a bit wondy in Coastal Taranaki. That's
why you love it. Okay. The naming of the squad
man you must be you. You and Robin must be
very very proud obviously, three boys and the All Blacks.
Scott's the captain, Geordie's the vice captain, and Bowden's the
most capped. Were there any surprises for you in this
All Black team?
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Yeah, Jeremy is extremely proud of going. We chears every
every the reading of the All Blacks here and three
and me. It's a blessing, really, so extremely proud. Robert
and I back to well, I think has picked on
form the yes, so there's obviously some disappointed boys are
not in there, but obviously you're some some lads have
(19:50):
been injured during the year, so they haven't been on
the on on the track. So yeah, he's been in
saving Holland from from the deep South. I've been very
good performers, you know for the Hanaas, so they've got
their rewards, young Oli nas, young up and coming prop
Jason Ron was quite happy just the way he's progressing.
(20:12):
Who else was there, Chris Joey's one more?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, oh you mean the new ones. Yeah, Brody McAllister,
Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian Holland, Dupless Carrefi and Timothy Taa. Look,
I note Smiley that they've named. Let me have a
look at this piece of paper. They've got six midfielders
in there. One of them is injured Anton Lennart Brown,
but they've got injury cover in them for him. Interestingly,
(20:39):
they've only named five loose forwards. And I think the
one that perhaps stands out to me and I'm gonna
have Jeremy Rooks on a week but later he'll be
squealing like a stuck pig is Ethan Blackadder. Because cheesey
played well for the Crusaders.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Yeah, well, I know what it's just a poenis Ethan's
on how many games his player this year. But just
maybe looking at just durability of him, you know, I mean,
some guys just keep turning up to work, you know.
I mean, I know he doesn't shy away from work.
But you know, if you have you injured, you can't
get on the track, you know, So maybe that was
a factor. But yeah, and I've obviously got cover in
(21:18):
the locking department with Tupo and Scotti can play six
as well, you see, so maybe they're looking at that,
you know. So, but your questions, asked jos.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Mada, Well that's fair enough. Look, this must be I mean,
it's a feather in your cap and the Barrett family
cap to have three guys in the All Blacks. If
Cain hadn't had an injury, it might have been four.
But to have the naming of the All Blacks at
your local rugby club where you've spent a lifetime, you
must be very proud about that as.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Well, extremely proud. Yes, there's all Blacks come out of
this at this club. I mean, obviously grab Mary and
Mark Robinson are both here today. Yes, so you know,
extremely proud, some rich history and there's a lot of
hearing a lot a lot of young young young juniors
(22:07):
here today too, you know. So it's just great for
them that, you know, just to see where these or
blacks come from. You know, they don't come from the
big big clubs in town. And you know, I mean
they're pushing these days that you know, they should be
straight out of school and into super team. That's rubbish.
You know, They've got to leave school and you know,
gag it apprenticeship and just learn how to get up
and do a day's work.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
You know.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
But that just just just gives you know, these men
the orses and get good values for life, you know.
And yeah, so do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's why the Barrett boys are so ground that they
grew up in the family where they had to get
out of bed and help on the farm.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah, it's too right, It's it's too right.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I mean I do for young Dup believes crazy crazy.
He went to school with Jordie. He was a hard
peck actually at you know fans Douglas Mryal College. And
it's another boy, it's another or black give see Conradees
here today as well. Conrade Smith, Yeah, I mean they
just keep the dps to get up at five o'clock
in the morning and do the old milk run back
in the day, you know. So yeah, it's just discipline, discipline,
(23:07):
hard work. And Jase Ryan said that, you know, he's
a story really. I mean if he was looking at
going overseas last year and he just Jase sent them
some targets to do and he's met those targets and
like I say, everyone's been sort of picking him, you know,
how to be in the orbnas and here he is.
You know, so you played them.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, good on you. Are you going to get any
farming done this winter or you're just going to be
on the road, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
I've been My staff had been away for since the
end of May and they're not back until July. So
I'm going, you know, talk about productivity on the farm.
You know they talk about a five day working week, Well, geez,
I'm doing the ten days work and seven.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You know, are you going to make it down to
Dunedin for the first test. We'd like to see you
down here and shout you with bea down here and.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Robins twice is efficient than me. She can do seven days,
she can do fourteen days and seven days work. But no, Well,
as much as we'd love to, we're we're supporting Xenna
and it's just a class ut least. He's doing high
rocks and in the open cast in Sydney, So unfortunately
we'll be over there. We can't be at two places once, Jeremy,
but we'll be in the other two venues.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, well, it must be a bugger to have such
a talented family. You are the first. You are the
first family of New Zealand rugby. The Barrett Smiley thank
you very much for your time. Congratulations to your three
lads for being named again in the All Blacks and
as I said, a feather in your cap that the
named the team at the Coastal Rugby Club going back
to rural heartland New Zealand. It's great, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
It certainly is.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Yet it's a great dirty any you.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
For the coast Yeah, good on you mate, and thanks
thanks for climbing up the Norfolk Pine to chat to us.
Really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
No worries.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Well, the win usual blows downy for four directions and
today it's blown from five because John.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah right, see that's slightly Barrett there. What a great man.
He is very very modest family. Anyhow, Okay, we're going
to take a break. On the other side of it,
we'll do rural news and update the All Black team
for you in sports news if you've just joined us,
and I know a lot of people are keen on this.
There are five new All Blacks and one sixth if
(25:15):
you count injury cover. So Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian
holland Duplessy careThe Smiley was talking about him, I didn't
realize he was a Francis Douglas Boy and Timothy Tavatavanahui
and Christian Leo Willie, who's been great also is injury
cover for Luke Jacobson, which is interesting. He's probably hipped
(25:37):
Ethan Blackadder for that position. Anyhow, we'll discuss this a
bit further with Jeremy Rooks, and we're going to talk
to a farmer. This is Michelle's, one of Michelle's mad mates,
who's running from Mount Cook to akuaa three hundred and
sixty four kilometers in his gum boots. Wow, that's up
before the end of the hours. Today's FMG Young Farmer
(26:10):
Region Representative as Jock Burke for Taranaki Manoa two. Okay, Jock,
you've got sixty seconds to sell your region to the
rest of the country. Off you go.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
As mentioned, I'm representing the Taranaki one or two region
at the FNG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final
alongside the Junior Young Farmers and agri kids. This year,
we have chosen the Grassroots Trust Helicopter as our charity
as they have a rescue helicopter that supports the mon
O A two region and beyond. To make sure to
support us, says the Taranaki mun O War two is
(26:40):
one of the best regions in New Healers and it's
crucial for the farming. With a wide range of work
in the farming industry, there's always some level of risk
and unfortunately, injuries do happen. It's why farmers and rural
communities rely on these helicopters to get urgent help when
it's needed most. We're proud to support the Grassroots Trust
Helicopter this year for the region.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Off and make sure to.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Vote times up. Thanks job Well, you've just heard Jock
Burks pitch for Taranaki man or two and now it's

Speaker 7 (27:48):
Along serving at Federative Farmers Chief Executive Terry Copeland is
stepping down from his role at the end of this month.
Over his seven years with Federative Farmers, Terry is seeing
the organization through many different challenges, include through microplasma bobus
incursion and COVID droughts, fires and floods, and there are
a couple of key achievements to highlight. During his time
at Feeds, Terry was responsible for setting up the highly
(28:10):
successful primary industry in New Zealand Summit and Awards, which
we're heading to tomorrow and Wednesday and doing the show
from for two days, aren't we you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes indeed. And Terry Copeland, of course, in a past
life was the chief executive of the Young Farmers as well,
so he's been around in fair Weellingham this week and
christ Jets. So that is your rural news. I've got
no I'm assuming there'll be an all black story in
sports news. I haven't even locked.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Sports with AFCO.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Visit them online at a fco dot co dot nz.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, Michelle, just swip around here and see if you
can update that for me what I'll do and sports
news because we're getting lots of texts and in fact,
don't worry about that. Sorry, this isn't a flash you see.
The host doesn't have to put up with this, he's
got to produce. Are in another boat. Well, it's just
(29:03):
I can't yell at you through a glass thing and
so people can't hear you know what I mean. I'm
sure you'd be throwing things at the well anyhow. So
here's a text, Jamie. As much as I disliked crusaders,
I really thought ray Hannah would have been a bolter.
That's from muss must showing completely like a rugby knowledge
(29:24):
there of course, not surprising regular text and muzz Yeah,
Rivers Rayhannah was outstanding. He got Man of the match.
But you've got to remember we have two very very
good first five eighths already in the squad. We don't
need another one, and they're clearly the best too, even
though Rivers Rayhannah, to be fair, probably got the better
(29:45):
of Damien Mackenzie. But I think rugby's won and lost
up front and in the end those Crusaders ground ground
the poor old chiefs down. So just repeating the news
and anyone's texting me saying is this a farming show?
Show a lot of interest on the naming of the
All Black side, So they've named thirty five. There are
(30:06):
five new All Blacks. Brody McAllister, Olly Norris, Fabian Holland,
Duplessy Carethi and Timothy Tavatavanai. Christian Leo Willy is in
there as injury cover for Luke Jacobson. We'll take a
break on the other side of it to change things up,
are wee? But the farmer a dairy farmer who's running
(30:26):
three hundred and sixty four kilometers in his gum boots
from Mount Cook to our Coroa. Why is he doing it?
We'll ask him next Harry sing up next on the Country.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Com A.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Now, for you farmers out there who are kicking into
winter mode, I guess you're probably getting sicky your gum
boots already. How about this? How about a South Otago
farmer who's decided to run from Mount Cook to Akaroa
in his gum boots to raise money for the Otago
Community Hospice. He's done and fundraising in the past for Farmstrong.
(31:12):
His name is Jinder Singh. We call him Harry here.
He's a dairy farmer from Clyde Vale. Harry, why run
three hundred and sixty four kilometers over six days in
your gum boots? Is that a reasonable question?
Speaker 8 (31:27):
First thing, I just wanted to end the farm about
the mental health that I just want.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
To keep them strong.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
The other thing is never being to Akroma, so that's
a good reason to go there.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
So I thought you might have been tempted to run
the Alps to Ocean, the bike the bike trail and
finish up in Oamaru But yeah, Akaroa is a beautiful place,
so I don't blame you for doing that.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Yeah, yeah, I've done those tou Ocean in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Did you do that in your gun boots as well?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
No, No, that was ensues. They used to run stage there,
so I have done that before.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah, you're running with Glenn Sutton, who's a bit of
an endurance athlete legend. He's helping you out. But this
is a huge effort. You're a thirty five year old
dairy farmer. Obviously you're in pretty peak fitness. How much
harder is it running in gum boots than running shoes?
It must be considerably more difficult.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I think it's pretty easy. I had to walk more
than running, So in the shoes you had to run fast.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
When you're running in your gum boots or walking fast
or whatever you're doing, how many pairs of socks you
got on. I'm imagining you wouldn't want your gum boots
flopping around like you do on the farm. You'd want
them to be reasonably snug fitting, or you're going to
get all sorts of trouble with blisters.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Yeah, I'm just trying to swap them over after twenty
k or something, and so I've got three pairs in
the back, just swapping them around.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
For those of you who don't know the geography of
the area, it's a magnificent part of the country. I've
been lucky enough to do the Alps to Ocean bike
ride and that was hard enough, let alone running in gumboos.
But Harry, anyhow so you've started at Mount Cooki, you've
obviously run down to twice. Well then you where are
you now? Are you at Takapo? Are you beyond?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Just on the about to cry on the kenne is
going to take Apo? We just about to cross the
road me and door there. So I think it's about
eighteen nineteen K two. Do you finish two four today?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
And finishing planning to finish in Akaroa on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Yeah, on Saturday, yes, yeah, So my last leg will
be a bit longer from Liscrover, so I think that's
will be seventy four k. So how to stay strong
for that one?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Absolutely? Seventy four k's and your gum boots. How's the
how's the farm? Obviously taking a wee bit of time
off farm to do this community fundraiser for the hospice.
But how's the farm going?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
And oh that's a nice farm and I love it
round there, and the car's been away for the winter,
so I have plenty of time to do the other
stuff that I love.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Well, Harry, Look, I think you're an inspiration to us
all and I'd like to support you with a donation.
How do we do it?
Speaker 8 (34:22):
You can just go to give a little pig and
search for a farmer hitting the road.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Give a little farmer hitting the road and you can
donate to Harry singh you're silly enough to run sixty
three hundred and sixty four kilometers Harry and your gum boots.
What a great fundraiser. We wish you all the best.
Sale Oa to Glen Sutton. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Harry.
It is ate away from one. What a legend. Going
to take a break. Jeremy Rook's record price is being paid.
(34:49):
In fact, a brand new record was just smashed a
few minutes ago for an Angus ball Tell you all
about it with Jerry Jeremy plus talk about a ball back.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm overwhelm.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Welcome back to the country. Alanas Morissett will be at
Glastonbury this week. Right, Jeremy Rook's Lifestyle Hobby farming correspondent.
He's been following the ball sales with much enthusiasm. We'll
wrap it with a bit of rugby, Jeremy. But one
hundred and sixty one thousand a new record paid only
moments ago for a black or for an Angus ball.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Yeah, fantastic result. Actually it was signed by one of
Jane Smith's Jane and Blessmith's ball, so they're having a
great year selling and as breeders. Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I mean, this is just a reflection of the very
healthy state of the beef industry, right, Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Yeah, well I went up to the Mataichi woodback Hereford
and Angus last week and yeah, there's a lot of
It's amazing what difference a year makes when we've had
some horrific weather the last few years and everyone's optimistic
and into it and all the balls are selling well.
It's great to see.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And providing Trump doesn't start World War three, which I
haven't even mentioned, you know, the prospects for ball for
ball for beef, should I say we need a ball
to complete the equation is pretty good for the next
two to three years because America cannot rebuild. It's heard
fast enough.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
You know, it's great. And as I say, you know,
when things are going well, farmers are out there, you know,
spending money. They've got confidence in what's going on at
the moment. So it's great to see what did.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
You make a Trump bombing Iran? Good move, bad move,
stupid moved?
Speaker 5 (36:29):
Just endless wars caused by America. It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, you look at what Winston said, and he's been
around a long time. He said, we're in the worst
space since than we've been since the Cuban missile crisis.
And you remember between now and then, we've had the
likes of the Vietnam War. But when you start to
get nuclear weapons involved, things do get sticky, all right.
Just to finish on Jeremy, are you apoplectic that your
man Ethan Blackadder didn't make the All Blacks? David Harvel,
(36:56):
he would have to be unlucky as well.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Yeah, but I just black Header. As Smiley Barrett said earlier,
you know, he's just got such a terrible injury background
that where they're will break down. I mean, he's playing
so well, but then you go, well, why did they
pick Antono Lenet Brown? Like they picked a million midfield,
isn't they? You know, if they're going to pick Lenut Brown,
I would have picked Ethan Blackeaded. But other than that,
that's the only grizzle I got. It's a very strong squad,
(37:20):
and the Crusaders proved on Saturday night, had to win.
You know, they sort of used the technics that are
normally used against the All Blacks. High kicks, pressure, pressure, pressure,
and they shut down Mackenzie. So I think the All
Blacks are going to be very, very good this year.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, I think they might be. And I'm glad he's
taking a bit of a punt on the likes of
a tough of tough and now why because he just
brings something different that no other player has at the moment.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Yeah, I mean, look, look look the good.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
You got twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Oh no, I just say all that that these players
are so good, and you look at all these young
players that stick with it, They're awesome. And so I
think I think we're in great shape, really good.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Okay, Jeremy, thanks for keeping us up to speed with
the ball sales repeating the news one hundred and sixty
one thousand paid for an angus ball. The beef industry
is in fine fettal. Catch it tomorrow from Christchurch.

What i'ns down to.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Is because.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
New and welcome to the Country. I'm Jamie McKay, trying
to multitask, not doing a very good job of it.
Songs from Glastonbury. You're all waiting for the All Black
team and it's just been announced. We've got Phil Duncan
with some weather for Smiley Barrett. We're going to go
to the Coastal Club. David Kirk is in the process
of naming the team as we speak, but it is
(01:07):
out there in the public domain, so here we go.
We have five new All Blacks. Brody McAllister the Chief's hooker,
Olie Norris, Chief's prop Fabian Holland, Yeah, that was a
good one. The Highlanders, Locke du plus Carrefie the Wellington
flanker and as injury cover. He's in the squad as
(01:28):
injury cover for Luke Jacobson. As Christian Leo Willie, the
Crusaders Lucy So just running through that squad for you,
and we'll get more informed comment from some of our
experts later in the hour. Hookers Cody Taylor, Samasoni, Tucky
(01:49):
Ahal and Brody McAllister, New All Black, Ethan de Group
to Mighty, williams, Olly Norris, New All Black, Tyrrell Lomax,
Tyrol Lomax, Fletcher Newall and Passili Otosi. No surprises there.
Scott Barrett's the captain along and locking with Patrick Tueipolotu
and Tupuvai. Fabian Holland the fourth lock and All Black
(02:11):
new cap. The loose forwards are Samma Penny, Fenale, Ardi Savia,
the New Guy, Duplassy, Carrefi, Wallace Setiti and Luke Jacobson.
The halfbacks as expected cam Roygard, Cortez, Ratama and Noah Hotham.
First five surprise surprise Bowden Barrett and Damien McKenzie. In
(02:31):
the midfield. They've found room for Anton Lennett Brown, although
we do have injury cover for him. Jordi Barrett will
be vice captain of the team alongside Ardi Savia, Ricco
Yuanni Quintapire, making it in no David Harveli, Billy Proctor
is in there. And here's perhaps one of the pleasant surprises.
(02:53):
Timothy Tava Tava Nawai, the Highlander has made it. Outside
backs Caleb Clark, Sevu re Swell, Jordan Reuben Love injury cover.
The following players, as I said, had been named as
injury cover for the French series. Christian Leo Willie is
injury cover for Luke Jacobson who bashed himself to pieces
(03:14):
in the Super Rugby Final. And Amoni Narua is cover
for Antonine Brown unavailable due to injury, Amoa Offer, Toga Farsi,
Sam Dowry, Peter Larkeye and Stephen Parafetta. So there is
your All Black team. We'll head to the Coastal Rugby
(03:34):
Club very shortly once David Kirk has finished officially announcing
that rugby team. But let's get one of our real
rugby experts on to comment about that and the weather,
Phil Duncan. Phil, what do you make of the All
Black side?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh, it sounds really good. Teen out of ten.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're not a big rugby man though, Phil.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm from a family that loves rugby, so grew up with,
you know, watching the games in the middle of the
night and all that stuff. And I do still like
the big games. I watched the Crusader's play the Chiefs
at the weekend. But I'm not a very big yeah fan.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Put it that way.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I don't know enough about rugby like I do about
clouds and things like that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
All right, I will get you onto your area of expertise,
and that is the weather. And you sent me a
text this morning. Burst of windy and wet weather mid
to late this week nationwide from the west, then wintry
lower South Island this weekend after a brief MIDWEK warm up.
I'm going to be in christ Church for the next
few days for the Primary industry summit. I'm missing golf
(04:35):
on Wednesday. What a tragedy that is. But I also
have a rugby reunion in Southland over the weekend. I
better bring the wallies.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah you will. I mean, if you're in christ Church,
it'll be pretty pleasant on Wednesday and Tuesday, petime high
sixteen seventeen degrees, maybe warmer overnight lows and the double
digits for a time. But that's all ahead of this
coal change. So basically, to make the week simple, we've
got high pressure moving into the country today. That's why
it's windy around Auckland and some northern parts of New
(05:05):
Zealand and some other exposed places. Tomorrow we've got the
high pressure zone. So if a frosty start in the
South Islands and terrier maybe around the Central Plateau and
the North Island, but by Wednesday that high's already leaving
in comes the windy Northwest is partially out of the subtropics,
so our temperatures go up nationwide, frosts all disappear. Rain
comes in on Thursday Friday and then turns to showers
(05:27):
and behind all of that, that's where the wintry weather
comes in. It's mainly when I say wintery, I mean
sort of you know, single digit daytime, hide overnight loads
back down around freezing snow on the mountains. But to
be honest with you, so far this winter it's been
a bit of a ho hum winter from a severe
weather point of view, which is great, so hopefully we
can keep that up, but it's a lot of big
(05:48):
high pressure zone still moving through it the month.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, if you're going to get crap weather or bad
weather pardon my French, there are folio jones, the perfect
months to get it for everyone.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It is and you know I said this in my
Farmer's Weekly, the last couple of weeks, when is our
coldest period of weather? Because traditionally, when you look at
the what we get each month, you'd say, well, that's
usually July and August. But it changes every year depending
on the high pressure zones we've got moving around. So
we don't know yet if we've had our coldest period
of weather. Chances are we haven't. But the last the
(06:20):
first week of June was very cold to the South Island.
So interesting to see what we get because as we
get closer to spring, the windy westerly is kind of
like what we're seeing this week, they wake up a
bit more. So it'd be interesting to see how July
shapes up and August. We can still get winter weather
right through till October, but the coldest period of the
year can be anywhere from May through till August.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, Phil, hey, thanks for some of your time and
that insight for Rugby commentary. Welcome, good on you, Phil
Duncan there from weather Watch. Jeremy Rooks is going to
be on the show, are we But later in the hour,
our lifestyle correspondent, I'll be farmer corresponding. Is Apple play dick?
Is that the right word, Jeremy? I think it is
(07:02):
that there's no Ethan Blackadder in there, and you'd have
to think he's pretty unlucky. She played well in the final,
didn't he. So we'll go through and tell you who's
missed out. And I probably technically was wrong when I
said five New All Blacks at the beginning, because there's
like effectively six if you count Christian Leo Willie. He
(07:23):
may not get on the park of course, he's in
there as injury cover for Luke Jacobson. But the five
new All Blacks a brody McAllister from the Chiefs, the
hooker obviously off the back of Amor being unavailable. Oli Norris.
Everyone seems to I don't know much about front row
(07:44):
for would play, to be honest, but everyone says he
was a showing and he really deserves it. Well done,
Oli Norris, Fabian Holland. I do know a wee bit
about him. He is a Highlander, he's only twenty two
years of age. He is in there duplas Karefi where
you argue with him being in there. The Wellington or
(08:04):
the Hurricanes open sider brilliant over the ball, as is
Timothy Tava Tava Nawai, also from the Highlanders. So there's
there's your five new All Blacks. Okay, we're going to
take a bit of a break and hopefully the old
cell coverage is slightly dodgy, I think at the Coastal
(08:25):
Rugby Club, home of the Barretts. Of course two Barretts
are three Barretts in the team. One is captain Scott
Ardie Saville is the not Ardi Savilla and Jordie are
the vice captains. And I'm just looking through the list
of All Blacks that's got their age and numbers of caps,
and I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I'm saying Bowden Barrett
(08:47):
is the most capped All Black quite away it looks
like one hundred and thirty four. The interesting thing about
Boden Barrett is he he's still in great nick, He's
still playing great rugby. Will he will he challenge Sam
Whitelock's one hundred and fifty three tests for the All
Blacks You'd have to think if he's going to hang
around for the next Rugby World Cup, he will do it.
(09:10):
Interesting times. We'll take a break here on the country
and come back hopefully with Smiley Barrett the Coastal Rugby
Club in South Taranaki.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Welcome Maggie.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Thank I got some say.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
This lads.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
September and I really should be back at school.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay, welcome back to the country. All sorts of fun
and games in the studio today. Oh no, Smiley's just
texted me to say, try Now, what do I do?
I've got Richard McIntyre on from Federated Farmers or Smiley
Barrett on the All Black Team. What do you reckon? Richard?
Should I drop you for Smiley?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm far more important than Smiley, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Can you text Smiley? Michelle? There you go, here's my phone.
Text him and tell them we'll ring them in five.
Have you heard the new All Black Team, Richard?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No, haven't you. I've actually been in a darian Ze
board meeting.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
All right, you're living the dream. Okay, We've got five
new All Blacks just for those who are joining us.
Brody McAllister, Olly Norris, Fabian Holland Duplessy Carrefi and I'm
so pleased to see the guy get a go. Timothy
Tavatava Nahai.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
There, the five new All Blacks will talk to Smiley
about that and just attack. Now you're stepping aside from
Federated Farmers effectively this week. It's like your AGM. It's
the primary Industry Summit and the Primary Industry Awards tomorrow night.
Then you're done.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, that's right, Jamie. It's it's interesting sort of experience,
sort of winding down from a role that of absolutely love.
For the last three years. It's been an absolute privilege
to you know, to serve farmers and yeah, it's sort
of mixed emotions really, but you know, I've got some
really good people coming through and it's time to give
them a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I suppose I've been a bit waylaid by the naming
of the All Black Side, but I did read something
this morning about you talking about a couple of your
really big ones and I'm just trying to remember what
the second one was, but the first one, and you
have been driving this on behalf of Federated Farmers, is
the banking inquiry.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's something that I've been mentally passionate about, and you know,
it's something that you know, farmers absolutely needed dumb you know,
FEDS to stand up on their behalf and if you
ask a few questions that every farmer was asking behind
the scenes, and you know, we fought really hard to
get their banking inquiry over the line. It's taken place
and we're now waiting for that report. But what we
(11:55):
really need to do Great Foods is really pushed for
some meaningful change to the real banking system actually functions
better for farmers.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
What was the other one?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So the other one was immigration. You know, we've had
had a heap of work to do in that space
to ensure that farmers have reasonable access to migrant staff
where they need it. And you know, we've had it's
been a bit of a political hot potato over the years,
and we've had some regulation which has made it really
hard for farmers to get stuff when they need them
at times, you know, just really really long processing times
(12:24):
all that sort of stuff, and a lot of uncertainty
and farmers need certainly especially leading into carving when they
need to have their workforces planned. So look, a lot
of if it went into into advocating with government to
make that better, and I think we've got most of
over the line.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Which is great.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
What would we do in this country without the Filipino community.
They're milking most of the cows in the country for us.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh, look exactly. You know, we do need access to
migrant stuff, and you know we've sally do have a
heap of Filipinos and other nationalities that do help to
milk our cows and they add so much value to
our royal communities as well. So we need to make
sure that we can have a good immigration system that
stands the test of time and gives every uncertainty.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Are we too lazy to milk them ourselves?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, I think it's a little bit more complex than that.
You know, we've got a largely urbanized population and it's
really hard to get people to move out of cities
to work on farm. You know, we've still got a
huge role to play and actually making the ag sector
more attractive to urbanites in that respect, and so we
need to keep on pushing to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But Richard, if you're living in semi poverty and say
South Auckland would be a good example, and you hear
stories of people working three jobs just to keep a
roof over their head and feed the family, you could
go down to Southland. Admittedly, if you could put up
with the cold and get a farmhouse, your kids will
go to a nice country primary school, you'll get some
(13:49):
meat and milk, you'll get a few other perks with
the job, and you'll build a career. You won't just
be a laborer. Why wouldn't people take it up?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, Look, you're exactly right, and it is about getting
the message out there. There's also the issue around family
connection of that and often you know, people in those situations,
you know they've got strong family connection and they do
have to move away from that. So we've got to
find ways to resolve that side of things. You know,
a better real connectivity would definitely help in some areas
because after the areas they find it hardest to get
(14:18):
staff also have very poor real connectivity, so that people
find it harder to stay in touch with their loved ones.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Okay, as we said, you're signing off this week at
the Primary Industry Summit and christ Church. Do we know
who's going to replace you at Federated Farmers as dairy
chair or do they have an election? How does it work?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
No, we don't at this point, Jarry. This is an
exciting time for the SAIDs Dairy Council. We have an
election with our two candidates standing. We've got Carldin from
Canterbury and Phil Sherwood from the White canter So yeah,
I'll be bringing a bit of popcorn along to the
agem to sort of see how that plays out.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Are we going to have any other positions up for grabs.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
In terms of the Dairy Council.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, we've got we're different people standing for the vice
chair role and also for the Deary Executive, So yeah,
there will be elections all round which will Yeah, it's
good to have good competition for space is and that
sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I take it. No one's challenging Yolo Wayne Langthor for
the presidency. He's too mind you. He's that busy selling
himself off to let me think Toyota Yamaha one New Zealand.
Has he had anyone else to responsor the stable since
I last chatted to him?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Look not that he's declared in their conflicts of interest
for the board at this point, Jamie. So no, no,
And no one's challenging me that he's doing a very
good job on behalf of Farmers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
He's a great front person for Federated Farmers and I
actually mean that in all sincerity. Right, Well, we'll see
you tomorrow at the Primary Industry Summit. And guess who's
them seeing the awards this year? And guess he's got
a week surprise in store for you and some of
your mates at Feeds.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Oh no, yeah, there you go, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
If I could just say one last thing, like just
thank you to all your listeners. So many of them
have actually reached out to me over the years to
just you know, share these stories and what's going on
for them. Minutes really really helped me because you're on
your behalf. So look, thank you so much, really appreciate it.
And well I said, it's been an absolute privilege to.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Serve God on you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There we go, Richard McIntyre dairy chair stepping aside from
Fed's or the dairy chair position at Feeds. But he's
still here as a board member of dairy en Z. Right,
Michelle's wanted and sue the studio. Have you got Smiley
teed up for after the break, Michelle.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I have.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
I think he's ready to go. Is he hopefully takes
us back?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Now let's have a look Smiley, Barrett. No, he hasn't yet,
but we'll get him and we'll get his take on that.
He's got three boys in the All Blacks or three
young men, three lads. Obviously, Scott's the captain. Pleased to
see he's because people were putting the boot into Scott
Barrett saying he wasn't playing very well. He's class and
(16:47):
he's kind of a do as I do leader rather
than do as I say. And I think it's great
and we can free up Artie to do what he
wants to do. He's the vice captain along with Jordi Barrett.
So someone interesting emissions I think are Jeremy Rooks apoplectic
is the word no no Ethan Blackadder, and he hasn't
(17:07):
missed out due to injury, so I think he's pretty
unlucky because gee, he was good in the final. Did
you watch the Super Rugby Final?
Speaker 7 (17:15):
I think admittedly I am the only one and probably
the whole of New Zealand it didn't, probably because I'm
quite bitter, because you know, I'm from a Targo and
watching the Crusades just hurts me.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, but the Crusaders, you've got to hand it to them,
even though it pains me to say this. They were
the best team. They deserve to win, and they know
how to play finals footy. They just ground the opposition down.
And so much for me being a rugby hundant or expert.
I said, the difference between the two teams is going
to be Damien Mackenzie versus rivers Rayharna, And it probably
(17:48):
was the difference in some ways, but I got it
round the wrong way. What would I know? Anyhow? Up next,
Smiley Barrett from the Coastal Rugby Club. If you've just
joined us and you're saying, what's he prattling on about?
It's the new all Black team. That's thirty five of them.
What they're all going to do? I don't know. But anyhow,
Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian Holland, Duplessy Carrefi and Timothy
(18:12):
Tava Tava Nawai. I'm so pleased. And he's a really
good young rugby player. The fallback for the Highlanders with
the longest name in the history of rugby was relieved
when he wasn't named because I could never split it out.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Are you practicing that? No?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
No, I didn't even bother practicing. I just took a punt.
He wouldn't make it. He probably he's close to it.
Neatkin's right anyhow, Smiley barrowed up next on the country.
(18:48):
We'll come back to the country. All sorts of fun
and games we've got. We're going to the Coastal Rugby
Club where the All Black team has just been named.
Smiley Barrett, the great man that he is, father of
three All Blacks, has climbed up a Norfolk pine to
get some reception. Have I got your Smiley?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
You can hear me.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Well, it's always a bit wondy in Coastal Taranaki. That's
why you love it. Okay. The naming of the squad
man you must be you. You and Robin must be
very very proud obviously, three boys and the All Blacks.
Scott's the captain, Geordie's the vice captain, and Bowden's the
most capped. Were there any surprises for you in this
All Black team?
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Yeah, Jeremy is extremely proud of going. We chears every
every the reading of the All Blacks here and three
and me. It's a blessing, really, so extremely proud. Robert
and I back to well, I think has picked on
form the yes, so there's obviously some disappointed boys are
not in there, but obviously you're some some lads have
(19:50):
been injured during the year, so they haven't been on
the on on the track. So yeah, he's been in
saving Holland from from the deep South. I've been very
good performers, you know for the Hanaas, so they've got
their rewards, young Oli nas, young up and coming prop
Jason Ron was quite happy just the way he's progressing.
(20:12):
Who else was there, Chris Joey's one more?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, oh you mean the new ones. Yeah, Brody McAllister,
Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian Holland, Dupless Carrefi and Timothy Taa. Look,
I note Smiley that they've named. Let me have a
look at this piece of paper. They've got six midfielders
in there. One of them is injured Anton Lennart Brown,
but they've got injury cover in them for him. Interestingly,
(20:39):
they've only named five loose forwards. And I think the
one that perhaps stands out to me and I'm gonna
have Jeremy Rooks on a week but later he'll be
squealing like a stuck pig is Ethan Blackadder. Because cheesey
played well for the Crusaders.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Yeah, well, I know what it's just a poenis Ethan's
on how many games his player this year. But just
maybe looking at just durability of him, you know, I mean,
some guys just keep turning up to work, you know.
I mean, I know he doesn't shy away from work.
But you know, if you have you injured, you can't
get on the track, you know, So maybe that was
a factor. But yeah, and I've obviously got cover in
(21:18):
the locking department with Tupo and Scotti can play six
as well, you see, so maybe they're looking at that,
you know. So, but your questions, asked jos.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Mada, Well that's fair enough. Look, this must be I mean,
it's a feather in your cap and the Barrett family
cap to have three guys in the All Blacks. If
Cain hadn't had an injury, it might have been four.
But to have the naming of the All Blacks at
your local rugby club where you've spent a lifetime, you
must be very proud about that as.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Well, extremely proud. Yes, there's all Blacks come out of
this at this club. I mean, obviously grab Mary and
Mark Robinson are both here today. Yes, so you know,
extremely proud, some rich history and there's a lot of
hearing a lot a lot of young young young juniors
(22:07):
here today too, you know. So it's just great for
them that, you know, just to see where these or
blacks come from. You know, they don't come from the
big big clubs in town. And you know, I mean
they're pushing these days that you know, they should be
straight out of school and into super team. That's rubbish.
You know, They've got to leave school and you know,
gag it apprenticeship and just learn how to get up
and do a day's work.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
You know.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
But that just just just gives you know, these men
the orses and get good values for life, you know.
And yeah, so do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's why the Barrett boys are so ground that they
grew up in the family where they had to get
out of bed and help on the farm.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah, it's too right, It's it's too right.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I mean I do for young Dup believes crazy crazy.
He went to school with Jordie. He was a hard
peck actually at you know fans Douglas Mryal College. And
it's another boy, it's another or black give see Conradees
here today as well. Conrade Smith, Yeah, I mean they
just keep the dps to get up at five o'clock
in the morning and do the old milk run back
in the day, you know. So yeah, it's just discipline, discipline,
(23:07):
hard work. And Jase Ryan said that, you know, he's
a story really. I mean if he was looking at
going overseas last year and he just Jase sent them
some targets to do and he's met those targets and
like I say, everyone's been sort of picking him, you know,
how to be in the orbnas and here he is.
You know, so you played them.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, good on you. Are you going to get any
farming done this winter or you're just going to be
on the road, Jamie.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
I've been My staff had been away for since the
end of May and they're not back until July. So
I'm going, you know, talk about productivity on the farm.
You know they talk about a five day working week, Well, geez,
I'm doing the ten days work and seven.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You know, are you going to make it down to
Dunedin for the first test. We'd like to see you
down here and shout you with bea down here and.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Robins twice is efficient than me. She can do seven days,
she can do fourteen days and seven days work. But no, Well,
as much as we'd love to, we're we're supporting Xenna
and it's just a class ut least. He's doing high
rocks and in the open cast in Sydney, So unfortunately
we'll be over there. We can't be at two places once, Jeremy,
but we'll be in the other two venues.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, well, it must be a bugger to have such
a talented family. You are the first. You are the
first family of New Zealand rugby. The Barrett Smiley thank
you very much for your time. Congratulations to your three
lads for being named again in the All Blacks and
as I said, a feather in your cap that the
named the team at the Coastal Rugby Club going back
to rural heartland New Zealand. It's great, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
It certainly is.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Yet it's a great dirty any you.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
For the coast Yeah, good on you mate, and thanks
thanks for climbing up the Norfolk Pine to chat to us.
Really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
No worries.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Well, the win usual blows downy for four directions and
today it's blown from five because John.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah right, see that's slightly Barrett there. What a great man.
He is very very modest family. Anyhow, Okay, we're going
to take a break. On the other side of it,
we'll do rural news and update the All Black team
for you in sports news if you've just joined us,
and I know a lot of people are keen on this.
There are five new All Blacks and one sixth if
(25:15):
you count injury cover. So Brody McAllister, Olin Norris, Fabian
holland Duplessy careThe Smiley was talking about him, I didn't
realize he was a Francis Douglas Boy and Timothy Tavatavanahui
and Christian Leo Willie, who's been great also is injury
cover for Luke Jacobson, which is interesting. He's probably hipped
(25:37):
Ethan Blackadder for that position. Anyhow, we'll discuss this a
bit further with Jeremy Rooks, and we're going to talk
to a farmer. This is Michelle's, one of Michelle's mad mates,
who's running from Mount Cook to akuaa three hundred and
sixty four kilometers in his gum boots. Wow, that's up
before the end of the hours. Today's FMG Young Farmer
(26:10):
Region Representative as Jock Burke for Taranaki Manoa two. Okay, Jock,
you've got sixty seconds to sell your region to the
rest of the country. Off you go.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
As mentioned, I'm representing the Taranaki one or two region
at the FNG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final
alongside the Junior Young Farmers and agri kids. This year,
we have chosen the Grassroots Trust Helicopter as our charity
as they have a rescue helicopter that supports the mon
O A two region and beyond. To make sure to
support us, says the Taranaki mun O War two is
(26:40):
one of the best regions in New Healers and it's
crucial for the farming. With a wide range of work
in the farming industry, there's always some level of risk
and unfortunately, injuries do happen. It's why farmers and rural
communities rely on these helicopters to get urgent help when
it's needed most. We're proud to support the Grassroots Trust
Helicopter this year for the region.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Off and make sure to.
Speaker 3 (27:02):

Speaker 7 (27:48):
Along serving at Federative Farmers Chief Executive Terry Copeland is
stepping down from his role at the end of this month.
Over his seven years with Federative Farmers, Terry is seeing
the organization through many different challenges, include through microplasma bobus
incursion and COVID droughts, fires and floods, and there are
a couple of key achievements to highlight. During his time
at Feeds, Terry was responsible for setting up the highly
(28:10):
successful primary industry in New Zealand Summit and Awards, which
we're heading to tomorrow and Wednesday and doing the show
from for two days, aren't we you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes indeed. And Terry Copeland, of course, in a past
life was the chief executive of the Young Farmers as well,
so he's been around in fair Weellingham this week and
christ Jets. So that is your rural news. I've got
no I'm assuming there'll be an all black story in
sports news. I haven't even locked.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Sports with AFCO.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Visit them online at a fco dot co dot nz.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, Michelle, just swip around here and see if you
can update that for me what I'll do and sports
news because we're getting lots of texts and in fact,
don't worry about that. Sorry, this isn't a flash you see.
The host doesn't have to put up with this, he's
got to produce. Are in another boat. Well, it's just
(29:03):
I can't yell at you through a glass thing and
so people can't hear you know what I mean. I'm
sure you'd be throwing things at the well anyhow. So
here's a text, Jamie. As much as I disliked crusaders,
I really thought ray Hannah would have been a bolter.
That's from muss must showing completely like a rugby knowledge
(29:24):
there of course, not surprising regular text and muzz Yeah,
Rivers Rayhannah was outstanding. He got Man of the match.
But you've got to remember we have two very very
good first five eighths already in the squad. We don't
need another one, and they're clearly the best too, even
though Rivers Rayhannah, to be fair, probably got the better
(29:45):
of Damien Mackenzie. But I think rugby's won and lost
up front and in the end those Crusaders ground ground
the poor old chiefs down. So just repeating the news
and anyone's texting me saying is this a farming show?
Show a lot of interest on the naming of the
All Black side, So they've named thirty five. There are
(30:06):
five new All Blacks. Brody McAllister, Olly Norris, Fabian Holland,
Duplessy Carethi and Timothy Tavatavanai. Christian Leo Willy is in
there as injury cover for Luke Jacobson. We'll take a
break on the other side of it to change things up,
are wee? But the farmer a dairy farmer who's running
(30:26):
three hundred and sixty four kilometers in his gum boots
from Mount Cook to our Coroa. Why is he doing it?
We'll ask him next Harry sing up next on the Country.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Com A.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Now, for you farmers out there who are kicking into
winter mode, I guess you're probably getting sicky your gum
boots already. How about this? How about a South Otago
farmer who's decided to run from Mount Cook to Akaroa
in his gum boots to raise money for the Otago
Community Hospice. He's done and fundraising in the past for Farmstrong.
(31:12):
His name is Jinder Singh. We call him Harry here.
He's a dairy farmer from Clyde Vale. Harry, why run
three hundred and sixty four kilometers over six days in
your gum boots? Is that a reasonable question?
Speaker 8 (31:27):
First thing, I just wanted to end the farm about
the mental health that I just want.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
To keep them strong.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
The other thing is never being to Akroma, so that's
a good reason to go there.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
So I thought you might have been tempted to run
the Alps to Ocean, the bike the bike trail and
finish up in Oamaru But yeah, Akaroa is a beautiful place,
so I don't blame you for doing that.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Yeah, yeah, I've done those tou Ocean in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Did you do that in your gun boots as well?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
No, No, that was ensues. They used to run stage there,
so I have done that before.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah, you're running with Glenn Sutton, who's a bit of
an endurance athlete legend. He's helping you out. But this
is a huge effort. You're a thirty five year old
dairy farmer. Obviously you're in pretty peak fitness. How much
harder is it running in gum boots than running shoes?
It must be considerably more difficult.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I think it's pretty easy. I had to walk more
than running, So in the shoes you had to run fast.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
When you're running in your gum boots or walking fast
or whatever you're doing, how many pairs of socks you
got on. I'm imagining you wouldn't want your gum boots
flopping around like you do on the farm. You'd want
them to be reasonably snug fitting, or you're going to
get all sorts of trouble with blisters.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Yeah, I'm just trying to swap them over after twenty
k or something, and so I've got three pairs in
the back, just swapping them around.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
For those of you who don't know the geography of
the area, it's a magnificent part of the country. I've
been lucky enough to do the Alps to Ocean bike
ride and that was hard enough, let alone running in gumboos.
But Harry, anyhow so you've started at Mount Cooki, you've
obviously run down to twice. Well then you where are
you now? Are you at Takapo? Are you beyond?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Just on the about to cry on the kenne is
going to take Apo? We just about to cross the
road me and door there. So I think it's about
eighteen nineteen K two. Do you finish two four today?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
And finishing planning to finish in Akaroa on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Yeah, on Saturday, yes, yeah, So my last leg will
be a bit longer from Liscrover, so I think that's
will be seventy four k. So how to stay strong
for that one?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Absolutely? Seventy four k's and your gum boots. How's the
how's the farm? Obviously taking a wee bit of time
off farm to do this community fundraiser for the hospice.
But how's the farm going?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
And oh that's a nice farm and I love it
round there, and the car's been away for the winter,
so I have plenty of time to do the other
stuff that I love.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Well, Harry, Look, I think you're an inspiration to us
all and I'd like to support you with a donation.
How do we do it?
Speaker 8 (34:22):
You can just go to give a little pig and
search for a farmer hitting the road.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Give a little farmer hitting the road and you can
donate to Harry singh you're silly enough to run sixty
three hundred and sixty four kilometers Harry and your gum boots.
What a great fundraiser. We wish you all the best.
Sale Oa to Glen Sutton. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Harry.
It is ate away from one. What a legend. Going
to take a break. Jeremy Rook's record price is being paid.
(34:49):
In fact, a brand new record was just smashed a
few minutes ago for an Angus ball Tell you all
about it with Jerry Jeremy plus talk about a ball back.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm overwhelm.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Welcome back to the country. Alanas Morissett will be at
Glastonbury this week. Right, Jeremy Rook's Lifestyle Hobby farming correspondent.
He's been following the ball sales with much enthusiasm. We'll
wrap it with a bit of rugby, Jeremy. But one
hundred and sixty one thousand a new record paid only
moments ago for a black or for an Angus ball.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Yeah, fantastic result. Actually it was signed by one of
Jane Smith's Jane and Blessmith's ball, so they're having a
great year selling and as breeders. Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I mean, this is just a reflection of the very
healthy state of the beef industry, right, Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Yeah, well I went up to the Mataichi woodback Hereford
and Angus last week and yeah, there's a lot of
It's amazing what difference a year makes when we've had
some horrific weather the last few years and everyone's optimistic
and into it and all the balls are selling well.
It's great to see.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And providing Trump doesn't start World War three, which I
haven't even mentioned, you know, the prospects for ball for
ball for beef, should I say we need a ball
to complete the equation is pretty good for the next
two to three years because America cannot rebuild. It's heard
fast enough.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
You know, it's great. And as I say, you know,
when things are going well, farmers are out there, you know,
spending money. They've got confidence in what's going on at
the moment. So it's great to see what did.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
You make a Trump bombing Iran? Good move, bad move,
stupid moved?
Speaker 5 (36:29):
Just endless wars caused by America. It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, you look at what Winston said, and he's been
around a long time. He said, we're in the worst
space since than we've been since the Cuban missile crisis.
And you remember between now and then, we've had the
likes of the Vietnam War. But when you start to
get nuclear weapons involved, things do get sticky, all right.
Just to finish on Jeremy, are you apoplectic that your
man Ethan Blackadder didn't make the All Blacks? David Harvel,
(36:56):
he would have to be unlucky as well.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Yeah, but I just black Header. As Smiley Barrett said earlier,
you know, he's just got such a terrible injury background
that where they're will break down. I mean, he's playing
so well, but then you go, well, why did they
pick Antono Lenet Brown? Like they picked a million midfield,
isn't they? You know, if they're going to pick Lenut Brown,
I would have picked Ethan Blackeaded. But other than that,
that's the only grizzle I got. It's a very strong squad,
(37:20):
and the Crusaders proved on Saturday night, had to win.
You know, they sort of used the technics that are
normally used against the All Blacks. High kicks, pressure, pressure, pressure,
and they shut down Mackenzie. So I think the All
Blacks are going to be very, very good this year.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, I think they might be. And I'm glad he's
taking a bit of a punt on the likes of
a tough of tough and now why because he just
brings something different that no other player has at the moment.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Yeah, I mean, look, look look the good.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
You got twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Oh no, I just say all that that these players
are so good, and you look at all these young
players that stick with it, They're awesome. And so I
think I think we're in great shape, really good.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
