Catch all the latest from the land. It's The Country
Podcast with Jamie McKay. Thanks to Brent, You're specialist in
John Deer construction equipment.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Anchome Me Anchome Ellioy Bluesy Anchome me Anchome me Illmey.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Bluesy Good a New Zealand and Welcome to the Country.
It's brought to you by Brands. Coming to you again
from the Queenstown Studios. Andy McDonald paneling out of Auckland,
New Zealand Music Month. He started with a classic, hasn't
he I was going to say the Mutton Birds, but
I think it's John Don mcleshon and anchor me Hey,
(00:52):
A few things probably needed anchor down in Wellington yesterday,
a rare red wind warning lots of damage, lots of
rain and Canterbury. We're going to kick off the show
by talking to Chris Brandelino from NIEWIP and we're going
to come up with a duck hunting forecast for you
people who are taking on the feathered foe from your
My miyes tomorrow morning. Joe Sheridan is the twenty twenty
(01:13):
five dairy Woman of the Year. We are going to
chat to her. Dr Jaqueline Roweth. Is it time for
a rethink for New Zealand's meat and dairy brands. Shane
mcmanaway whire a wrapper farmer. They've had a bit of
a pummeling from the weather. Philanthropist him and his wife
Lynette did well in life and they decided to build
a hospital just because they could. And our farmer panel
(01:37):
to wrap at one sleep to go for stew Duncan
and Stulow. But let's get straight into it. Chris Brandolino
and you guys or not the media, Chris sometimes get
a bit of stick for over sensationalizing the weather. But
the weather we've had in the past few days has
been sensational unless you were stuck in it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, it's no. I mean starting off in Canterbury and
Bank's Peninsula, well over one hundred millimeters of rain christ
Church over a couple of day period, as well as
Acaroa and Banks Peninsula. I think I didn't look at
the final number, but it was north to two fifty
and approaching three hundred millimeters, so somewhere in that range
(02:20):
for the event, so over.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
A couple of days.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And then the wind as you say in Wellington, so
it was it was certainly active. Whether things are settling down,
but we are still dealing with some leftover showers of rain,
even some thunderstorms in the upper North Island, places like
the Waikato, places like the Auckland region and Northland region
still seeing some showers and still some heavy rain right now.
Mind you over toward the wider rapid Wellington and Masterton
(02:46):
and that region. Lower North Island still seeing the wind
in the rain. Though things are easy.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, okay, well, I guess we can kick any drought
or dry spell to touch well and truly now Chris as.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's funny say that we literally, Jamie, I'm going
to give you an exclusive here. We just list you
to our long range outlook updated long range outlook for
May June July as collective, and we are expecting above
normal rain for the north of the North Island for
a three month period's Waikato, Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty regions.
But you say dryness and one area that we think
(03:20):
dryness may occur, so we're saying normal or below normal.
So somewhere in that spectrum is the west of the
North Island and the west of the South Island. And
as we know Tedanaki Manawatu still dealing with the dryness. Look,
even if because of the potential for reduction of rainfall
for the next three months, that ground water recharge may
be slow. So while dryness and drought may be gone
(03:43):
or eventually will be gone, the effects of dryness and
drought do persist. So I do want to acknowledge that
it is going to be a warmer than average three
month period. Yes, to be chili spells, including this weekend.
We'll find some cool and eventually settled weather coming in.
There'll be some showers tomorrow. And you want to talk
about duck hunting, So if I got it ray as
a city slicker, we want some cloud and some showers
(04:04):
and kind of gloomy weather for duck hunting, is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well what unless you're a duck, of course, Chris. But yeah,
you know, cloudy, overcast weather, a bit of rhine, especially
a bit of wind that keeps them a bit lower.
You don't want to find clear day. But as the South,
I mean, I'm in Queenstown today doing the show, Chris,
and I can tell you it's an absolutely stunning autumn
day here. It would be a day for.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
The ducks yeah, well, it's going to be another good
one tomorrow in Queens some but if you venture a
little farther south or to Saint Gore, or maybe in
for Cargo or other parts of Fjordland, there will be
more cloud probably some showers around as well. And in
terms of the wind in that region there will be
a bit of a breeze. I won't call it windy,
but certainly a good, healthy, stiff breeze will be in
(04:49):
that area. Over toward eastern Otago as well, there'll be
some dust of your breezes. I think we'll have the
watch later next week, Jimmy. After some settled weather next
early next week, much of the start of next week Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday largely settled, I would describe it as But as
we approach Thursday and Friday, say the ninth and the
tenth of the week, so next week this time, we
(05:10):
have to watch for another visitor from the north, and
that's what we're gonna have to watch for the next
three months, the North, because that'll be a source of
these rain bearing systems that'll come down and could provide
us with some heavy rain events when they do so.
An area is most susceptible to that will be the
Upper North Island and to a lesser extent perhaps the
eastern part of both islands. So we'll have to keep
(05:30):
our eyes on that as we work away through the
next three months.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Good on you, Chris Brendoley, and now keep up the
good work at Meywa. It is twelve after twelve. You
are with the country, Michelle Water producers still and at
HQ and duned and Andy McDonald's paneling is out of Auckland.
And I've even got celebrity sports news reader. You're gonna
he's got the voice to die for, Craig Ferguson a
(05:54):
real lygend ferg You'll tell me off for calling him
Craig real lygend here in Queenstand. He's gonna do the
sports news for us. But up next we're going to
chat to the newly crowned twenty twenty five Fonterra Dairy
Woman of the Year. Her name is Joe Sheridan. Sixteen
(06:20):
after twelve. She was crowned last night the twenty twenty
five Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Year. She joins us
on the show. Congratulations Joe Sheridan, You're a Wyicado farmer
from Perongia and you're also the OL Farm demonstration manager.
Tell us about OL Farm at St. Peter's College and Cambridge.
(06:40):
Congratulations by the way, Joe, Thanks Jamie.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Our farms, our farm's one hundred and forty hip deear
Dewy demonstration farmer the har Boyko. So we keep ourselves
pretty busy hosting and engaging with students and teachers around
career pathways and the food and fiber there, and also
helping support our world community around transition, our systems to
make sure that the future proof and making sure that
(07:09):
the their industries moving forward in the right direction.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Would it be fair to say Saint Peter's and Cambridge
And I'm trying to think of other schools that really
have good AD programs. Mount Albert Graham is another one
that springs to mind. Are you leading the charge?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
We do what we can in our local areas. It's
really important that each of the regions have a place
where students and teachers can cinet and have on time experiences.
So we're really lucky for the fact that we're so
central and we can connect with so many of our
schools throughout the way kuna and bad painting. But yeah,
we hope to be part of that picture, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Jennie, what's your background in daring, because I know you
grew up in what a Taranaki dairy farm or on
a Taranaki deary firm.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yeah, born and bred Taranaki farmer, that's right. And my background.
I went off to UNI, fell in love with tools,
as every young lady does, and that's soon tuned into
a love of the beer industry. So I've been involved
for the last twenty five years, whether it's in real
professional roles or more instling within my own business and
now it's student education.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
How much time do you get to get the hands
dirty on farm? I try to ask your other half
that one as.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Much as possible. I think that's the bit I love
the most. Has been out helping support and watch things grow.
So I'm just in my heavy place when I'm out
on the farm working with people, particularly telling the stories
and s'ing the experiences when we're out on farms.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It must have been a very proud moment for you,
and I've got to acknowledge. The other finalist, Francis Beatson,
a Canterbury farmer, passionate advocate for mental health and well
being in rural communities. And Lara Sutton, no doubt you
know Lara because she's a Wacado farmer as well lawyer
and strategy and commercial lawyer and these strategy and commercial
(09:01):
partnerships manager at Dairy en Zen. That is a long title,
so tough field.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Oh but doesn't it just highlight the strength of our industry,
Like we've got women who are doing amazing things in
at space like France is very heavily involved in caring
for communities and that's sort of social well being, and
Filara about strategic relationships and having leadership in that space.
So it just highlights the diversity of how women are
impacting our dair industry. Its pretty welsome, isn't it now?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
You realize Joe that almost in fact, without exception, I
think everyone who is one the dairy Woman of the
Year has gone on to greater things in their life.
So no pressure, No.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Pressure, Jamie. We'll hopefully be able to tell that story
later on in life. And see what that's leding me to.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I'm sure well, Rowena my off side to here at
the country sat and on the judging panel and she
said you were excellent and you won over the panel.
So there you go. Well done. Now as a part
as a part of your prize, you'll receive a scholarship
to be part of the Calogg Rural Leadership Program. The
scholarship covers the program feed travel and accommodation, mentoring, and
(10:11):
access to Dairy Women's Network and Fonterra platforms to share research.
What are you going to do with yours?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Ah, I haven't actually decided on the top of it, Jamie,
but there'll be no doubt that'll be about how we
support those pathways and ensure that we get the brightest
and the best people into our industry. So there'll probably
be something along that space. I'm really excited about being
a part of that. I think it's really important we
always continue to grow and develop our skills and this
(10:39):
is a wonderful opportunity provided by Frontier and Dari's Arbos
network for me to carry on doing that. So yeah,
I look forward to sharing what my topic of choice
is going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, that'd be good. Hey, Just to finish on we
got up next we're going to talk to doctor Jack
will and Morowath very well known not only in dairying
circles but on all farming circles. I think she was.
Was she involved at a debate line last night and
at the gala dinner?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They did an absolutely wonderful job on the debate and
Jacqueline was the sleeper start there as well. So no
doubt you'll be able to pull you on all the
details of it. But highly entertaining and somewhat informative, and
some things might have been factual, I'm not sure about
about it, but it was definitely very entertaining.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
That's sure.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Good on you, Joe Sherid, and congratulations on being the
twenty twenty five Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Air. Congratulations
also to Francis Beetson and Laura Lara, should I say
Suddon your fellow finalists go well, lovely to.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Chat awesome, Thank you very much, Jamie, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, there we go the time as I've got stuff
all over the place in the studio, I don't even
know my way around it. It's twenty one. After twelve
we will get a bloke who's spent thirty years in
the studio. He's doing the celebrity sports news Craig Ferg
ferguson a voice to die for, trust me on that one. Also, interestingly,
(11:58):
and he's a very modest man. I'll mention it. He's
not in the studio. He was a New Zealand cult
and a New Zealand junior rugby player. In fact, rumor
has it. In fact, I know it to be fact.
He kept Jock Hobbes, the Great Jock Hobbs, out of
those junior sides in the late seventies early eighties. A
bit of a sporting theme on the show today when
(12:20):
Ferg wanders in here but up next as promised doctor
Jacqueline Roweth. She was at the Gala dinner last night
and she's pondering do we need to rethink for New
Zealand's meet and dairy brands. She's up next on the Country. Yes,
(12:49):
welcome back to the Country. New Zealand Music Month two
out of three. Ain't bad. That's a meatloaf quote for
you there, Andy McDonald. You can do better than that.
Come on last night. Of course, we spoke to the
twenty twenty five dairy Woman of the f Fonterra dairy
Woman of the Air, Joe Sheridan. Someone who was there
and entertaining the troops at the gala dinner was doctor
Jaqueline Rowe. Jacqueline, I got a text last night from
(13:11):
Rowena Duncan, who said Peter Kelly, who was adjudicating the debate,
said in his speech that when referencing you, he said,
I'm not going to say anything bad about you, Jacqueline,
because I've got a bit of a man crush on
you thanks to Jamie Mackay's effing show. And I'm not
sure whether that was a compliment to you and an
(13:31):
insult to me, but I'm glad I got to mention
in dispatches.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
And I felt it was a compliment. I felt very
heartformed by his statements.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
No, but I'm worried about him calling my show an
effing show. I suppose that's a farming show word.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yes, yes, yes, that's a very good way of putting it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
She's very eloquent, Joe Sheridan.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Yes, she did a good talk, thanking people for all
the support that they given her in giving this remarkable
role with ol Farm. It was very good.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah. Now you have sent me, or you do us
a wonderful favor. You're write a Fortnightly column for us.
You can read it on our website Thecountry dot co
dot Nz. It's also on the Herald website and this
week's or this Fortnight fortnightly offering is titled New Zealand's
meat and Dairy brand. Time for a rethink question Mark
(14:27):
Jacquelin And this comes from Rethink X, an independent research
group with officers here and in the United States focusing
on global technology disruptions. What's wrong with our current brand exactly?
Speaker 8 (14:42):
And that's what I've tried to prove. And it is
always possible to do a bit of adjusting which might
be and now is a good time because now it's
always a good time to think about the future. But
I was a bit perplexed by the concept that we
should just change from meat and dairy when we're so
good at it. So I was hardened by the chief
(15:02):
executives saying things like there will always be a place
for red meat. And the boat last night was rather
dismissing me oat milk as anything but wet moosely. And
my point was it didn't even make that definition of mooseley.
So are we going to change away from meat and milk?
We have a pre eminent brand is valuable. Read the article.
(15:24):
It's really important for New Zealand in what we do.
So maybe some fine tuning is the idea, not throwing
out babies and bar swaters.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So just remind me. Sorry at the celebrity debate last night,
what was the.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Moat that oat milk is just wet moosely, Well.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It's not even oats milk chequell and a milk has
to come from a memo, that's oat juice.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, that Hamish ma who's lovely Lincoln graduate and now
the special Voice of Trade and Agriculture, didn't point out
that because coconut milk, which is unprocessed when you get
it out of their coca nut, is called it's accepted
to be called milk. We rather lost it on the
other sorts of areas. And we do talk about maize
and the milk line as it dries down. But oats
(16:12):
are all the ingredients for little tiny oat plants, not
little tiny mammals. So let's go back to what was
created for mammals and that's what comes out of another.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Hey, just picking up on some commentary in your excellent
column rethink X. Did I get it right or is
it called rethinks.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Well, I don't know. I don't know. I can think X,
but makes it clearer.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well, suggesting New Zealand meat and dairy could be the
next Codak, and we all know what happened to the
Kodak brand, and they're suggesting could be made redundant by
new technologies such as precision fermentation and cellular agriculture.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
There's a lot of talk about this, but when dairy,
when days the lads says, actually, it's not going to
take over from from terror. I think we need to
take heart from that or take note of it, because
they've done the calculations and we don't grow enough sugar
in this country. We'd have to be reconforming all of that,
I suppose. But actually what they all acknowledge is that
(17:19):
it's not nearly as easy as people think to start with.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Okay, hey Jack, anything else to add? Check one, because
I've I've got a busy show. I've got lots of
people to check to. They're all cued up, they're lined
up outside the door here in the Queenstown studios for you.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Well, today was Warren Parker's education in Holcombe so Landcorp,
trading as PAMU, had an event where lots of people came,
not as many as expected because of the terrible weather.
People got stuck in christ Church. But Warren's eldest son
Bradley did a great little talk about his father, and
Michael r He who's chair of Spring Sheet which works
(17:58):
of course with Landcorp, did the Mari dedication. It was
a very moving event, notwithstanding the fact that the wind
gusts were so strong people were being knocked off their feet.
We were there because we care about Warren and his legacy.
What a great brand.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, I was just going to say a wonderful contributor
to New Zealand agriculture, Dr Warren Parker, Doctor Jaquil and Rower.
Thank you very much for your time and enjoy your
weekend and hope the weather settles down on the North
Island for you and for you.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
There we go, Okay, we're about to take another break.
We're going to give you a chance after the break
to win the last of our and you've gone nuts
on these ones, the last of our storm Force jackets.
The storm Force Parker worth four hundred and sixty nine dollars,
certainly needed that in Canterbury and Wellington, in recent days.
(18:50):
A courtesy of Kywalker. These are as worn by the
brand ambassador Scott Barrett, So you could be just like
Scott Michelle had I've had. Dunedin Studios will have the
latest and rural news, celebrity sports newsreader Junior all Black,
Craig ferg Ferguson with sport and as I said, you
(19:10):
chance to win the jacket before the end of the hour.
Shane mcmanaway out of wire Rappa. They're getting a bit
of a hammering today. Farmer, philanthropist, former chief executive of
All Flecks. He was last time we chatted to him
on the country. He was stuck in the middle of
cyclone Alfred on the Gold Coast. How did that compare
to the Wahino storm of nineteen sixty eight. Shane's old
(19:32):
enough to remember it. And our farmer panels stew Duncan
and Stu Low one sleep to go for these keen
duck hunters. We're going to have a look at the
weather and also some really really strong and positive stock prices.
All that before the end of the hour here on
the country. As twenty six away from one. It's become
(20:00):
a ritual for me on duck shooting eights or duck
hunting eight. Sorry to athend. Here's a week ninety sickond
cut from Phil Robertson aka the duck Commander, out of
the swamps of Louisiana. Here is the worlds or was
the world's best duck caller. I apply it every every May.
(20:20):
You're gonna love this. He's ninety sickond stuff. How to
cool a duck?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
The bottom line is in a duck call contest, it's
more or less how much air control you have. But
the precise sound that comes out of their calls is
far too high for our hen duck. And they don't
string out their notes. Here's an old hn duck, whether
in New Zealand other states, and that's all they do,
(20:52):
actually about five to seven notes, and you can hit
a few licks. The way you use these things is
you have to you have to learn to control your tongue.
And you're basically saying ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, or
what you say ten teen about five times. And the
reason you say ten is when you say the word ten,
(21:17):
any t word, it forces your tongue to hit the
roof of your mouth. Other words, when you say ten,
your tongue actually hits the roof of your mouth twice,
so it's that's a feed call. I'm going ten ten,
ten ten, and on a long call, just ten ten, ten,
(21:38):
ten ten. That puts pressure on you reads and that's
the key to learn how to be a good duck callers.
Learn how to say ten ten ten, so that forces
that air up and your stomach gets tight. And if
you don't do that, if you just keep your tongue
lying down in the roof of your mouth, it comes out.
You see what I'm saying, Jenny, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
What a golden piece of audio that is from Phil
robertson the duck command to find him online of course tomorrow.
How good would you look in the mymi tomorrow if
you're wearing the new storm Force Parker worth four hundred
and sixty nine dollars from friends at Kaiwaka Clothing. Of
course Scott Barrett is the brand ambassador. So this is
(22:21):
the last jacket we've got up for grabs. And before
I forget, yesterday's winner was Ken Eed from Kelso. Now
Keen has been farming for two hundred and forty seasons,
which is what sixty years? Ken is still feeding, carves, driving,
tractors and doing day to day work on the farm
(22:42):
at seventy five, So he left school at fifteen. He's
been farming for sixty years and he has no plan
on giving up anytime soon. Good on you, Ken, You
enjoy the storm Force Parker, and I hope you get
plenty more years of We're out of it. So if
you want to win the final storm Force Parker texts

Agrazero New Zealand has put another eight point seven million
(23:57):
into American startup that is promising to lower climate warming
impact of cowburts. Agrazera and New Zealand has said that
it is happy with the initial results from the small
US few trials feeding animals enzymes that are aimed at
reducing their methane emissions. The product still needs testing in
larger trials though, including a planned trial in New Zealand.

kept Jock Hobbs out of the New Zealand cults and
the New Zealand juniors. He went on to be an
(24:55):
All Black captain. What happened to you?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I think if we go back all those decades, Jamie,
I was about five foot ten in springs on concrete
and about thirteen stone top weight, so I was probably
just a little bit too small.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Who was the best footing player you played against back
in the day, because he played quite a bit of
provincial rugby?
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Yeah? Probably Buck Shelford, Sue Buck.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, did he scare the living daylights out of you?
Speaker 10 (25:17):
I remember an under eighteen regional tournament in Fongaday. He
was playing for Organized playing for Wacoo back then. He
was as immense then as he was in his All
Black playing days.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, great stuff. Okay, you've got the sports news for us.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
The Perth Glory will make their way to Wellington tomorrow
after tonight's final round a league men's match against the
Phoenix was pushed back to Sunday. High winds forced the
cancelation of flights at Wellington Airport yesterday and if the
Glory still can't fly into the Capitol Phoenix bus David
Domes says they'll just have to take a bus. How
about a walking bus. Wellington Saints' boss Nick Mills has
(25:52):
his doubts the Indian Panthers will ever return to the
National Basketball League. The Panthers have been suspended and definitely
after serious alley gations were raised around player payments and treatment.
They could return if they can prove they've met several conditions.
Mills says, there's no way that's happening. And the Panthers
train wreckers limping to the nearest station, and that will
be that. Help me, Sparky, Help me sparky and talking
(26:15):
about duck shooting, Jammie, can I just do a.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Plug load duck hunting fer sark hunting?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
Can I just do a local plug you? It's your
studio pal Central Otago Premiere Rugby. The Wakato Walls were
beaten by the Maggots from many a Toto last weekend,
so they strap on the boots to play the Goats
Cromwell Tomorrow. Duck hunting weekend always throws a competition into
a bit of chaos. The Upperclooth the Rams are the
front runners. They were beaten last night under Lights because
of duck hunting by the Alexandra Armadillos thirty one twenty seven.
(26:44):
Them attack Mudfish, take on the maggots Tonight under Lights, Arrowtown.
The bulls have got the buy.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So did Andrew Hawre come up with that name the
Manyototo Maggots. It's got a ring at him about it,
hasn't it.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Yeah, I have no idea where the origins of that
name came from, but I'd have to say that maybe
that's a great place to start.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, coming up shortly on the show before the end
of the hour from that very district. You know how
you're the unofficial mayor of Queenstown although you are on
the local council here. Stu Duncan's the unofficial mayor of
Wedderburn and a great mate of Andrew Hawes. And you
know Stu started out he was talking about sport. He
almost qualified in the nineteen ninety Commonwealth Games for the
(27:20):
one hundred and ten meter hurdles, so he was pretty
quick when he was young. I guess where he finished
his rugby career in the front row too many parts.
I love reminding him of that.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
He's a good man.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
He is a good man, Stu Duncan and Stu Low
before the end of the hour, Thanks FORERG and that
is the radio voice to die for. All bitterly jealous
of your voice. And you know, have you heard of
a guy called Jeremy Rooks. Yeah, yeah, he's he's such
a bitter man. He said, he's just dropped me at
text and said any voice would be better than your
(27:54):
annoying Southland wine. And that's for me, Jeremy. Sometimes I
question my effects for you. But up next a man
I'm very affectionate about. I might rephrase that. People might
get the wrong idea. He's a great bloke. He's doing
great work in rural New Zealand. His name is Shane mcmanaway.
Why a wrapper farmer, philanthropist, just being inducted into the
(28:17):
Business Hall of Fame. He's up next on the Country
borden Away from one. Thanks to Branch for bringing you
the country. Shane mcmanoway inducted along with his wife Lamette
no doubt into the Business Hall of Fame. Shane, there
(28:40):
are no ends to the accolades that are being heaped
upon you as you continue to deliver for rural New Zealand.
Congratulations mate, Oh, thank you, Jamien.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Good afternoon. Yeah, I know we were certainly humble, both
Lynette and I to be inducted into this into this hall.
It came as a great surprise. We just get on
and do what we do. We are certainly constant cheerleads,
I guess for our industry and we try and do
what we can for our local community. And to get
this induction into the Hall of Fame was pretty special
(29:12):
for us.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, well deserved of course. You built not a hospital,
a health center there in the Southern wire Rapper.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
How's it going good, Jamie? I was there probably half
an hour ago. I called in there, and it's a
thriving place and sometimes you wish that it had nobody there,
because it would mean everybody's fitting healthy and well and
didn't need to go there. But that's unfortunately not the case.
But it's an integrated medical facility and covers off a
whole range of aspects around health, and yeah, it just
(29:39):
grows and grows and grows. So it's something we're super
proud to put there, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Talk to me about the weather. We know Wellington got
a real hammering yesterday. What is it like today? Up
the road in the wire rapper.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
It's eased off a but now it's still pretty miserable
outside of the winds drop right down, rains pretty much stopped,
so I think we're the worst of it's over now.
But yesterday, Jamie, I might just add that I spent
probably two thirds of the day in my Kywalker jacket
and leggings as I was out doing stuff around the
around the farm. We had about ninety mills of rain,
(30:15):
a very very strong southerly all day. Bit of damage around,
but certainly we weren't battered around likely where I think
south of the down around the Cape Pallace, a region
in certainly Wellington.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Last time we chatted to you a month or so
ago on the show, you were on the Gold Coast.
You have a lot of business interests over there as well,
and you were stuck in the middle of cyclone Alfred.
And you're old enough to remember the Wahino storm of
nineteen or of Easter nineteen sixty eight. How did they compare?
Speaker 11 (30:48):
Quite different? I guess the one on the Gold Coast
the cyclone was constant for three and a half days
at probably blowing sort of around about ninety two one
hundred and ten kilometers an hour just didn't sort of
give up, and lots and lots of rain over that
period of time. We had somewhere around one meter of rain.
And we're on the beach there and the waves right
out the back of a klumbar and a half with
(31:09):
something like about twenty two meters and they were breaking
at around twelve meters. And you've probably seen most of
the photos on the Gold Coast where it took the
sand away. It was unbelievable, to be quite honest, but
it was pretty constant. Whereas the why Henny Jamie. I
was twelve, and I remember it really, really clearly. We
went round the farm with Dad and they have a look,
(31:29):
which was the silliest thing we probably should have ever done.
We should have stayed indoors, but I remember seeing rows
and rows of pine trees just peeling over like dominoes,
and it was just a complete The noise was horrendous,
and so yesterday was. I don't think it was anything
like that, but it was certainly windy enough.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Here let's finish on a really positive note. I'm getting
lots of information and about stock prices at the moment.
Store Lands one hundred and fifty bucks. Ween are calves
over one thousand dollars? Great money, Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:00):
Certainly overrah thousand, Jamie. I just bought a unit load
last week and I think there were thirteen hundred and
twenty bucks for some anger Steers, some Wieners. But you know,
on the on the other side, just sent a unit
load out yesterday of rising two year old cattle and
you know they've probably come in at around about twenty
six twenty seven hundred bucks each, which is incredible money.
(32:21):
But you know, we need to be up at that
sort of level to make these things work. That's for sure.
The costs have gone through the roof, but no, we
certainly not complain. We've got about four and a half
five thousand lambs on it will head off in the
winter and we're hoping that those prices hold up for
those as well.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Hey, Seane McGann mcmanaah, thank you very much for your time.
Congratulations to you and Lynette for being inducted into the
New Zealand Business Hall of Fame. So well deserved in
your case.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
Go well, oh, thank you, Jamie, much appreciated.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There we go. There's Shane mcmanaway. Just before I go
to the break in case I forget to do it
in the last break. In fact, Michelle's in my air
big time. I'm blaming her because no one told me
I'm in to be fair. I'm in Queensdown, She's in Dunedin.
Andy's an Auckland. So this show is coming as a
many headed monster. Today Michelle told me that Kenneed from
(33:14):
Kelso Great Farming Area in West Otago is actually the
last winner. Sorry, you can't win any more. Kiwoker Storm
Force Park is worth four hundred and sixty nine dollars.
That's the last one we've got to give away. But
what you can do is go and buy one as
worn by Scott Barrett. Apologies. We'll call it a communication breakdown.
(33:38):
And before I forget, I just want to mention the
Farmstrong team. We have a wonderful partnership with them here
on the country and they've just got a wee message
for us. Just like you can keep physically fit, there
are skills you can learn that will help you stay
mentally strong no matter what challenges Mother Nature or the
markets send your way. These mental fitness skills can make
(34:02):
a huge difference to how you feel and work. So
head to farm Strong or head to the farm Strong
website this weekend. If you're not in the my mind,
and even if you're in the my mind, google it.
You can find it at farmstrong dot co dot nz
and you can get that free farm Strong toolkit. Have
a look at it, find out what works for you
and lock it in Eddie at Farmstrong dot co dot Nz.
(34:25):
We're going to wrap the show with our farmer panel
Stue Low in North Canterbury that had lots of rain
and Stu Duncan in the Manototo wrapping the country with
the farmer panel. I want to start with Stu Duncan
and the Manyatoto, but short on time Stu, and that's
(34:47):
because Ferg Craig Ferguson was going on about the Manyetoto maggots.
How did you come up with a name like that
for your local footy team.
Speaker 12 (34:55):
I'm not sure how that came about. Actually, there's a
bit of a chance to give a name going. 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 there's many times walket have come down
there to the Minnitota Stadium and got beaten. So yeah,
yeah know, poor old Ferg But at the it's not
an uncommon thing to beat walket up, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay Stulow, I'm heading to North Canterbury. Now do you
need an arc?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
No, we went too bed. 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 see out of christ Church two one hundred and
sixty five and Little River and around there well over
two hundred. So yeah, chriist Church East and South was
inundated with lots of rain and wind.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Hey sometimes, ste 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.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
In order, I actually did buy some caves, you say,
And as I was going across Walksheed Pedic, which is
quite bony, there was water lying on it last night
but gone this morning. So yeah, that's one of my
light a panics. So the 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 ragin and a lot
(36:17):
better now than in August or September.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
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 10 (36:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (36:32):
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 millionnakereds of land
surrounded by mountains in the Minnetato. There's a lot of
creeks and rivers and ponds and that's pretty pretty traditional
spot for ducks, for duck and in and ducks, you know,
for a long time. So it's pretty trendy and that's
(36:53):
a great thing really. It keeps a lot of communities
bubbling along and good for the local pubs and the
sports doors and everything. Love Adam's good catch up with
the mates and it's even more proven than this last
week to mate put my way up around here and
then a week later he's getting a three centimeter brain
treum and taken out of his hiding. 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
(37:14):
up once in a year, it's a great thing because
you never know when you get a bit of bed
luck and being your tube.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Absolutely, Hey, look I've got to go. Guys, thank you
very much for your time and really poignant words there
from Stu Duncan. I'm in Queenstown. People think I gallivant
around the country and I do a we but the
reason I'm here is because my best friend is nearing
(37:38):
the end of the battle of his life. And you know,
if you are out there, life is precious. Just enjoy
it and make the most of it because life can
be very fleeting. Indeed, I'll catch you back again on Monday.
Take care.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Bluesy Good a New Zealand and Welcome to the Country.
It's brought to you by Brands. Coming to you again
from the Queenstown Studios. Andy McDonald paneling out of Auckland,
New Zealand Music Month. He started with a classic, hasn't
he I was going to say the Mutton Birds, but
I think it's John Don mcleshon and anchor me Hey,
(00:52):
A few things probably needed anchor down in Wellington yesterday,
a rare red wind warning lots of damage, lots of
rain and Canterbury. We're going to kick off the show
by talking to Chris Brandelino from NIEWIP and we're going
to come up with a duck hunting forecast for you
people who are taking on the feathered foe from your
My miyes tomorrow morning. Joe Sheridan is the twenty twenty
(01:13):
five dairy Woman of the Year. We are going to
chat to her. Dr Jaqueline Roweth. Is it time for
a rethink for New Zealand's meat and dairy brands. Shane
mcmanaway whire a wrapper farmer. They've had a bit of
a pummeling from the weather. Philanthropist him and his wife
Lynette did well in life and they decided to build
a hospital just because they could. And our farmer panel
(01:37):
to wrap at one sleep to go for stew Duncan
and Stulow. But let's get straight into it. Chris Brandolino
and you guys or not the media, Chris sometimes get
a bit of stick for over sensationalizing the weather. But
the weather we've had in the past few days has
been sensational unless you were stuck in it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, it's no. I mean starting off in Canterbury and
Bank's Peninsula, well over one hundred millimeters of rain christ
Church over a couple of day period, as well as
Acaroa and Banks Peninsula. I think I didn't look at
the final number, but it was north to two fifty
and approaching three hundred millimeters, so somewhere in that range
(02:20):
for the event, so over.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
A couple of days.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And then the wind as you say in Wellington, so
it was it was certainly active. Whether things are settling down,
but we are still dealing with some leftover showers of rain,
even some thunderstorms in the upper North Island, places like
the Waikato, places like the Auckland region and Northland region
still seeing some showers and still some heavy rain right now.
Mind you over toward the wider rapid Wellington and Masterton
(02:46):
and that region. Lower North Island still seeing the wind
in the rain. Though things are easy.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, okay, well, I guess we can kick any drought
or dry spell to touch well and truly now Chris as.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's funny say that we literally, Jamie, I'm going
to give you an exclusive here. We just list you
to our long range outlook updated long range outlook for
May June July as collective, and we are expecting above
normal rain for the north of the North Island for
a three month period's Waikato, Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty regions.
But you say dryness and one area that we think
(03:20):
dryness may occur, so we're saying normal or below normal.
So somewhere in that spectrum is the west of the
North Island and the west of the South Island. And
as we know Tedanaki Manawatu still dealing with the dryness. Look,
even if because of the potential for reduction of rainfall
for the next three months, that ground water recharge may
be slow. So while dryness and drought may be gone
(03:43):
or eventually will be gone, the effects of dryness and
drought do persist. So I do want to acknowledge that
it is going to be a warmer than average three
month period. Yes, to be chili spells, including this weekend.
We'll find some cool and eventually settled weather coming in.
There'll be some showers tomorrow. And you want to talk
about duck hunting, So if I got it ray as
a city slicker, we want some cloud and some showers
(04:04):
and kind of gloomy weather for duck hunting, is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well what unless you're a duck, of course, Chris. But yeah,
you know, cloudy, overcast weather, a bit of rhine, especially
a bit of wind that keeps them a bit lower.
You don't want to find clear day. But as the South,
I mean, I'm in Queenstown today doing the show, Chris,
and I can tell you it's an absolutely stunning autumn
day here. It would be a day for.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
The ducks yeah, well, it's going to be another good
one tomorrow in Queens some but if you venture a
little farther south or to Saint Gore, or maybe in
for Cargo or other parts of Fjordland, there will be
more cloud probably some showers around as well. And in
terms of the wind in that region there will be
a bit of a breeze. I won't call it windy,
but certainly a good, healthy, stiff breeze will be in
(04:49):
that area. Over toward eastern Otago as well, there'll be
some dust of your breezes. I think we'll have the
watch later next week, Jimmy. After some settled weather next
early next week, much of the start of next week Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday largely settled, I would describe it as But as
we approach Thursday and Friday, say the ninth and the
tenth of the week, so next week this time, we
(05:10):
have to watch for another visitor from the north, and
that's what we're gonna have to watch for the next
three months, the North, because that'll be a source of
these rain bearing systems that'll come down and could provide
us with some heavy rain events when they do so.
An area is most susceptible to that will be the
Upper North Island and to a lesser extent perhaps the
eastern part of both islands. So we'll have to keep
(05:30):
our eyes on that as we work away through the
next three months.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Good on you, Chris Brendoley, and now keep up the
good work at Meywa. It is twelve after twelve. You
are with the country, Michelle Water producers still and at
HQ and duned and Andy McDonald's paneling is out of Auckland.
And I've even got celebrity sports news reader. You're gonna
he's got the voice to die for, Craig Ferguson a
(05:54):
real lygend ferg You'll tell me off for calling him
Craig real lygend here in Queenstand. He's gonna do the
sports news for us. But up next we're going to
chat to the newly crowned twenty twenty five Fonterra Dairy
Woman of the Year. Her name is Joe Sheridan. Sixteen
(06:20):
after twelve. She was crowned last night the twenty twenty
five Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Year. She joins us
on the show. Congratulations Joe Sheridan, You're a Wyicado farmer
from Perongia and you're also the OL Farm demonstration manager.
Tell us about OL Farm at St. Peter's College and Cambridge.
(06:40):
Congratulations by the way, Joe, Thanks Jamie.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Our farms, our farm's one hundred and forty hip deear
Dewy demonstration farmer the har Boyko. So we keep ourselves
pretty busy hosting and engaging with students and teachers around
career pathways and the food and fiber there, and also
helping support our world community around transition, our systems to
make sure that the future proof and making sure that
(07:09):
the their industries moving forward in the right direction.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Would it be fair to say Saint Peter's and Cambridge
And I'm trying to think of other schools that really
have good AD programs. Mount Albert Graham is another one
that springs to mind. Are you leading the charge?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
We do what we can in our local areas. It's
really important that each of the regions have a place
where students and teachers can cinet and have on time experiences.
So we're really lucky for the fact that we're so
central and we can connect with so many of our
schools throughout the way kuna and bad painting. But yeah,
we hope to be part of that picture, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Jennie, what's your background in daring, because I know you
grew up in what a Taranaki dairy farm or on
a Taranaki deary firm.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yeah, born and bred Taranaki farmer, that's right. And my background.
I went off to UNI, fell in love with tools,
as every young lady does, and that's soon tuned into
a love of the beer industry. So I've been involved
for the last twenty five years, whether it's in real
professional roles or more instling within my own business and
now it's student education.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
How much time do you get to get the hands
dirty on farm? I try to ask your other half
that one as.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Much as possible. I think that's the bit I love
the most. Has been out helping support and watch things grow.
So I'm just in my heavy place when I'm out
on the farm working with people, particularly telling the stories
and s'ing the experiences when we're out on farms.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It must have been a very proud moment for you,
and I've got to acknowledge. The other finalist, Francis Beatson,
a Canterbury farmer, passionate advocate for mental health and well
being in rural communities. And Lara Sutton, no doubt you
know Lara because she's a Wacado farmer as well lawyer
and strategy and commercial lawyer and these strategy and commercial
(09:01):
partnerships manager at Dairy en Zen. That is a long title,
so tough field.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Oh but doesn't it just highlight the strength of our industry,
Like we've got women who are doing amazing things in
at space like France is very heavily involved in caring
for communities and that's sort of social well being, and
Filara about strategic relationships and having leadership in that space.
So it just highlights the diversity of how women are
impacting our dair industry. Its pretty welsome, isn't it now?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
You realize Joe that almost in fact, without exception, I
think everyone who is one the dairy Woman of the
Year has gone on to greater things in their life.
So no pressure, No.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Pressure, Jamie. We'll hopefully be able to tell that story
later on in life. And see what that's leding me to.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I'm sure well, Rowena my off side to here at
the country sat and on the judging panel and she
said you were excellent and you won over the panel.
So there you go. Well done. Now as a part
as a part of your prize, you'll receive a scholarship
to be part of the Calogg Rural Leadership Program. The
scholarship covers the program feed travel and accommodation, mentoring, and
(10:11):
access to Dairy Women's Network and Fonterra platforms to share research.
What are you going to do with yours?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Ah, I haven't actually decided on the top of it, Jamie,
but there'll be no doubt that'll be about how we
support those pathways and ensure that we get the brightest
and the best people into our industry. So there'll probably
be something along that space. I'm really excited about being
a part of that. I think it's really important we
always continue to grow and develop our skills and this
(10:39):
is a wonderful opportunity provided by Frontier and Dari's Arbos
network for me to carry on doing that. So yeah,
I look forward to sharing what my topic of choice
is going to be.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, that'd be good. Hey, Just to finish on we
got up next we're going to talk to doctor Jack
will and Morowath very well known not only in dairying
circles but on all farming circles. I think she was.
Was she involved at a debate line last night and
at the gala dinner?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They did an absolutely wonderful job on the debate and
Jacqueline was the sleeper start there as well. So no
doubt you'll be able to pull you on all the
details of it. But highly entertaining and somewhat informative, and
some things might have been factual, I'm not sure about
about it, but it was definitely very entertaining.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
That's sure.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Good on you, Joe Sherid, and congratulations on being the
twenty twenty five Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Air. Congratulations
also to Francis Beetson and Laura Lara, should I say
Suddon your fellow finalists go well, lovely to.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Chat awesome, Thank you very much, Jamie, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, there we go the time as I've got stuff
all over the place in the studio, I don't even
know my way around it. It's twenty one. After twelve
we will get a bloke who's spent thirty years in
the studio. He's doing the celebrity sports news Craig Ferg
ferguson a voice to die for, trust me on that one. Also, interestingly,
(11:58):
and he's a very modest man. I'll mention it. He's
not in the studio. He was a New Zealand cult
and a New Zealand junior rugby player. In fact, rumor
has it. In fact, I know it to be fact.
He kept Jock Hobbes, the Great Jock Hobbs, out of
those junior sides in the late seventies early eighties. A
bit of a sporting theme on the show today when
(12:20):
Ferg wanders in here but up next as promised doctor
Jacqueline Roweth. She was at the Gala dinner last night
and she's pondering do we need to rethink for New
Zealand's meet and dairy brands. She's up next on the Country. Yes,
(12:49):
welcome back to the Country. New Zealand Music Month two
out of three. Ain't bad. That's a meatloaf quote for
you there, Andy McDonald. You can do better than that.
Come on last night. Of course, we spoke to the
twenty twenty five dairy Woman of the f Fonterra dairy
Woman of the Air, Joe Sheridan. Someone who was there
and entertaining the troops at the gala dinner was doctor
Jaqueline Rowe. Jacqueline, I got a text last night from
(13:11):
Rowena Duncan, who said Peter Kelly, who was adjudicating the debate,
said in his speech that when referencing you, he said,
I'm not going to say anything bad about you, Jacqueline,
because I've got a bit of a man crush on
you thanks to Jamie Mackay's effing show. And I'm not
sure whether that was a compliment to you and an
(13:31):
insult to me, but I'm glad I got to mention
in dispatches.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
And I felt it was a compliment. I felt very
heartformed by his statements.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
No, but I'm worried about him calling my show an
effing show. I suppose that's a farming show word.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yes, yes, yes, that's a very good way of putting it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
She's very eloquent, Joe Sheridan.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Yes, she did a good talk, thanking people for all
the support that they given her in giving this remarkable
role with ol Farm. It was very good.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah. Now you have sent me, or you do us
a wonderful favor. You're write a Fortnightly column for us.
You can read it on our website Thecountry dot co
dot Nz. It's also on the Herald website and this
week's or this Fortnight fortnightly offering is titled New Zealand's
meat and Dairy brand. Time for a rethink question Mark
(14:27):
Jacquelin And this comes from Rethink X, an independent research
group with officers here and in the United States focusing
on global technology disruptions. What's wrong with our current brand exactly?
Speaker 8 (14:42):
And that's what I've tried to prove. And it is
always possible to do a bit of adjusting which might
be and now is a good time because now it's
always a good time to think about the future. But
I was a bit perplexed by the concept that we
should just change from meat and dairy when we're so
good at it. So I was hardened by the chief
(15:02):
executives saying things like there will always be a place
for red meat. And the boat last night was rather
dismissing me oat milk as anything but wet moosely. And
my point was it didn't even make that definition of mooseley.
So are we going to change away from meat and milk?
We have a pre eminent brand is valuable. Read the article.
(15:24):
It's really important for New Zealand in what we do.
So maybe some fine tuning is the idea, not throwing
out babies and bar swaters.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So just remind me. Sorry at the celebrity debate last night,
what was the.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Moat that oat milk is just wet moosely, Well.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It's not even oats milk chequell and a milk has
to come from a memo, that's oat juice.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, that Hamish ma who's lovely Lincoln graduate and now
the special Voice of Trade and Agriculture, didn't point out
that because coconut milk, which is unprocessed when you get
it out of their coca nut, is called it's accepted
to be called milk. We rather lost it on the
other sorts of areas. And we do talk about maize
and the milk line as it dries down. But oats
(16:12):
are all the ingredients for little tiny oat plants, not
little tiny mammals. So let's go back to what was
created for mammals and that's what comes out of another.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Hey, just picking up on some commentary in your excellent
column rethink X. Did I get it right or is
it called rethinks.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Well, I don't know. I don't know. I can think X,
but makes it clearer.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well, suggesting New Zealand meat and dairy could be the
next Codak, and we all know what happened to the
Kodak brand, and they're suggesting could be made redundant by
new technologies such as precision fermentation and cellular agriculture.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
There's a lot of talk about this, but when dairy,
when days the lads says, actually, it's not going to
take over from from terror. I think we need to
take heart from that or take note of it, because
they've done the calculations and we don't grow enough sugar
in this country. We'd have to be reconforming all of that,
I suppose. But actually what they all acknowledge is that
(17:19):
it's not nearly as easy as people think to start with.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Okay, hey Jack, anything else to add? Check one, because
I've I've got a busy show. I've got lots of
people to check to. They're all cued up, they're lined
up outside the door here in the Queenstown studios for you.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Well, today was Warren Parker's education in Holcombe so Landcorp,
trading as PAMU, had an event where lots of people came,
not as many as expected because of the terrible weather.
People got stuck in christ Church. But Warren's eldest son
Bradley did a great little talk about his father, and
Michael r He who's chair of Spring Sheet which works
(17:58):
of course with Landcorp, did the Mari dedication. It was
a very moving event, notwithstanding the fact that the wind
gusts were so strong people were being knocked off their feet.
We were there because we care about Warren and his legacy.
What a great brand.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, I was just going to say a wonderful contributor
to New Zealand agriculture, Dr Warren Parker, Doctor Jaquil and Rower.
Thank you very much for your time and enjoy your
weekend and hope the weather settles down on the North
Island for you and for you.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
There we go, Okay, we're about to take another break.
We're going to give you a chance after the break
to win the last of our and you've gone nuts
on these ones, the last of our storm Force jackets.
The storm Force Parker worth four hundred and sixty nine dollars,
certainly needed that in Canterbury and Wellington, in recent days.
(18:50):
A courtesy of Kywalker. These are as worn by the
brand ambassador Scott Barrett, So you could be just like
Scott Michelle had I've had. Dunedin Studios will have the
latest and rural news, celebrity sports newsreader Junior all Black,
Craig ferg Ferguson with sport and as I said, you
(19:10):
chance to win the jacket before the end of the hour.
Shane mcmanaway out of wire Rappa. They're getting a bit
of a hammering today. Farmer, philanthropist, former chief executive of
All Flecks. He was last time we chatted to him
on the country. He was stuck in the middle of
cyclone Alfred on the Gold Coast. How did that compare
to the Wahino storm of nineteen sixty eight. Shane's old
(19:32):
enough to remember it. And our farmer panels stew Duncan
and Stu Low one sleep to go for these keen
duck hunters. We're going to have a look at the
weather and also some really really strong and positive stock prices.
All that before the end of the hour here on
the country. As twenty six away from one. It's become
(20:00):
a ritual for me on duck shooting eights or duck
hunting eight. Sorry to athend. Here's a week ninety sickond
cut from Phil Robertson aka the duck Commander, out of
the swamps of Louisiana. Here is the worlds or was
the world's best duck caller. I apply it every every May.
(20:20):
You're gonna love this. He's ninety sickond stuff. How to
cool a duck?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
The bottom line is in a duck call contest, it's
more or less how much air control you have. But
the precise sound that comes out of their calls is
far too high for our hen duck. And they don't
string out their notes. Here's an old hn duck, whether
in New Zealand other states, and that's all they do,
(20:52):
actually about five to seven notes, and you can hit
a few licks. The way you use these things is
you have to you have to learn to control your tongue.
And you're basically saying ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, or
what you say ten teen about five times. And the
reason you say ten is when you say the word ten,
(21:17):
any t word, it forces your tongue to hit the
roof of your mouth. Other words, when you say ten,
your tongue actually hits the roof of your mouth twice,
so it's that's a feed call. I'm going ten ten,
ten ten, and on a long call, just ten ten, ten,
(21:38):
ten ten. That puts pressure on you reads and that's
the key to learn how to be a good duck callers.
Learn how to say ten ten ten, so that forces
that air up and your stomach gets tight. And if
you don't do that, if you just keep your tongue
lying down in the roof of your mouth, it comes out.
You see what I'm saying, Jenny, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
What a golden piece of audio that is from Phil
robertson the duck command to find him online of course tomorrow.
How good would you look in the mymi tomorrow if
you're wearing the new storm Force Parker worth four hundred
and sixty nine dollars from friends at Kaiwaka Clothing. Of
course Scott Barrett is the brand ambassador. So this is
(22:21):
the last jacket we've got up for grabs. And before
I forget, yesterday's winner was Ken Eed from Kelso. Now
Keen has been farming for two hundred and forty seasons,
which is what sixty years? Ken is still feeding, carves, driving,
tractors and doing day to day work on the farm
(22:42):
at seventy five, So he left school at fifteen. He's
been farming for sixty years and he has no plan
on giving up anytime soon. Good on you, Ken, You
enjoy the storm Force Parker, and I hope you get
plenty more years of We're out of it. So if
you want to win the final storm Force Parker texts

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Rural news with cop Cadet, New Zealand's leading right on
lawnlower brand. Visit steel Ford dot co dot Nz for
your local stockers.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Thanks Jamie, and before I go into my raw news
story today, I just want to say congratulations also to
why Kato farmer Amy Wilson, who won the Dairywoman's Network
Regional Leader Award last night at the Dairywoman's Gala, So
congratulations Amy. And in Rural News New Zealand climate investor
Agrazero New Zealand has put another eight point seven million
(23:57):
into American startup that is promising to lower climate warming
impact of cowburts. Agrazera and New Zealand has said that
it is happy with the initial results from the small
US few trials feeding animals enzymes that are aimed at
reducing their methane emissions. The product still needs testing in
larger trials though, including a planned trial in New Zealand.
And next week we're actually going to be catching up
(24:18):
with a methane and climate world renowned experts. To listen
out for that interview next week. And I believe you
have Fergun the studio for Sports News.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Sports with AFCO. Visit them online at AFCO dot co
dot NZ.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, and I'm sure Bryce mackenzie and Jane Smith will
be wrapped about that investment from Agrizero n Z. We
might have to get Wayne mcneh and there those guys
on the show next week as well. OK. Fergov talked
you up big time. Craig Ferguson known as ferg here
and Queenstown. He's the unofficial mayor of Queenstown. Now you
kept Jock Hobbs out of the New Zealand cults and
the New Zealand juniors. He went on to be an
(24:55):
All Black captain. What happened to you?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I think if we go back all those decades, Jamie,
I was about five foot ten in springs on concrete
and about thirteen stone top weight, so I was probably
just a little bit too small.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Who was the best footing player you played against back
in the day, because he played quite a bit of
provincial rugby?
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Yeah? Probably Buck Shelford, Sue Buck.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, did he scare the living daylights out of you?
Speaker 10 (25:17):
I remember an under eighteen regional tournament in Fongaday. He
was playing for Organized playing for Wacoo back then. He
was as immense then as he was in his All
Black playing days.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, great stuff. Okay, you've got the sports news for us.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
The Perth Glory will make their way to Wellington tomorrow
after tonight's final round a league men's match against the
Phoenix was pushed back to Sunday. High winds forced the
cancelation of flights at Wellington Airport yesterday and if the
Glory still can't fly into the Capitol Phoenix bus David
Domes says they'll just have to take a bus. How
about a walking bus. Wellington Saints' boss Nick Mills has
(25:52):
his doubts the Indian Panthers will ever return to the
National Basketball League. The Panthers have been suspended and definitely
after serious alley gations were raised around player payments and treatment.
They could return if they can prove they've met several conditions.
Mills says, there's no way that's happening. And the Panthers
train wreckers limping to the nearest station, and that will
be that. Help me, Sparky, Help me sparky and talking
(26:15):
about duck shooting, Jammie, can I just do a.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Plug load duck hunting fer sark hunting?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
Can I just do a local plug you? It's your
studio pal Central Otago Premiere Rugby. The Wakato Walls were
beaten by the Maggots from many a Toto last weekend,
so they strap on the boots to play the Goats
Cromwell Tomorrow. Duck hunting weekend always throws a competition into
a bit of chaos. The Upperclooth the Rams are the
front runners. They were beaten last night under Lights because
of duck hunting by the Alexandra Armadillos thirty one twenty seven.
(26:44):
Them attack Mudfish, take on the maggots Tonight under Lights, Arrowtown.
The bulls have got the buy.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So did Andrew Hawre come up with that name the
Manyototo Maggots. It's got a ring at him about it,
hasn't it.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Yeah, I have no idea where the origins of that
name came from, but I'd have to say that maybe
that's a great place to start.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, coming up shortly on the show before the end
of the hour from that very district. You know how
you're the unofficial mayor of Queenstown although you are on
the local council here. Stu Duncan's the unofficial mayor of
Wedderburn and a great mate of Andrew Hawes. And you
know Stu started out he was talking about sport. He
almost qualified in the nineteen ninety Commonwealth Games for the
(27:20):
one hundred and ten meter hurdles, so he was pretty
quick when he was young. I guess where he finished
his rugby career in the front row too many parts.
I love reminding him of that.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
He's a good man.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
He is a good man, Stu Duncan and Stu Low
before the end of the hour, Thanks FORERG and that
is the radio voice to die for. All bitterly jealous
of your voice. And you know, have you heard of
a guy called Jeremy Rooks. Yeah, yeah, he's he's such
a bitter man. He said, he's just dropped me at
text and said any voice would be better than your
(27:54):
annoying Southland wine. And that's for me, Jeremy. Sometimes I
question my effects for you. But up next a man
I'm very affectionate about. I might rephrase that. People might
get the wrong idea. He's a great bloke. He's doing
great work in rural New Zealand. His name is Shane mcmanaway.
Why a wrapper farmer, philanthropist, just being inducted into the
(28:17):
Business Hall of Fame. He's up next on the Country
borden Away from one. Thanks to Branch for bringing you
the country. Shane mcmanoway inducted along with his wife Lamette
no doubt into the Business Hall of Fame. Shane, there
(28:40):
are no ends to the accolades that are being heaped
upon you as you continue to deliver for rural New Zealand.
Congratulations mate, Oh, thank you, Jamien.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Good afternoon. Yeah, I know we were certainly humble, both
Lynette and I to be inducted into this into this hall.
It came as a great surprise. We just get on
and do what we do. We are certainly constant cheerleads,
I guess for our industry and we try and do
what we can for our local community. And to get
this induction into the Hall of Fame was pretty special
(29:12):
for us.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, well deserved of course. You built not a hospital,
a health center there in the Southern wire Rapper.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
How's it going good, Jamie? I was there probably half
an hour ago. I called in there, and it's a
thriving place and sometimes you wish that it had nobody there,
because it would mean everybody's fitting healthy and well and
didn't need to go there. But that's unfortunately not the case.
But it's an integrated medical facility and covers off a
whole range of aspects around health, and yeah, it just
(29:39):
grows and grows and grows. So it's something we're super
proud to put there, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Talk to me about the weather. We know Wellington got
a real hammering yesterday. What is it like today? Up
the road in the wire rapper.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
It's eased off a but now it's still pretty miserable
outside of the winds drop right down, rains pretty much stopped,
so I think we're the worst of it's over now.
But yesterday, Jamie, I might just add that I spent
probably two thirds of the day in my Kywalker jacket
and leggings as I was out doing stuff around the
around the farm. We had about ninety mills of rain,
(30:15):
a very very strong southerly all day. Bit of damage around,
but certainly we weren't battered around likely where I think
south of the down around the Cape Pallace, a region
in certainly Wellington.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Last time we chatted to you a month or so
ago on the show, you were on the Gold Coast.
You have a lot of business interests over there as well,
and you were stuck in the middle of cyclone Alfred.
And you're old enough to remember the Wahino storm of
nineteen or of Easter nineteen sixty eight. How did they compare?
Speaker 11 (30:48):
Quite different? I guess the one on the Gold Coast
the cyclone was constant for three and a half days
at probably blowing sort of around about ninety two one
hundred and ten kilometers an hour just didn't sort of
give up, and lots and lots of rain over that
period of time. We had somewhere around one meter of rain.
And we're on the beach there and the waves right
out the back of a klumbar and a half with
(31:09):
something like about twenty two meters and they were breaking
at around twelve meters. And you've probably seen most of
the photos on the Gold Coast where it took the
sand away. It was unbelievable, to be quite honest, but
it was pretty constant. Whereas the why Henny Jamie. I
was twelve, and I remember it really, really clearly. We
went round the farm with Dad and they have a look,
(31:29):
which was the silliest thing we probably should have ever done.
We should have stayed indoors, but I remember seeing rows
and rows of pine trees just peeling over like dominoes,
and it was just a complete The noise was horrendous,
and so yesterday was. I don't think it was anything
like that, but it was certainly windy enough.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Here let's finish on a really positive note. I'm getting
lots of information and about stock prices at the moment.
Store Lands one hundred and fifty bucks. Ween are calves
over one thousand dollars? Great money, Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:00):
Certainly overrah thousand, Jamie. I just bought a unit load
last week and I think there were thirteen hundred and
twenty bucks for some anger Steers, some Wieners. But you know,
on the on the other side, just sent a unit
load out yesterday of rising two year old cattle and
you know they've probably come in at around about twenty
six twenty seven hundred bucks each, which is incredible money.
(32:21):
But you know, we need to be up at that
sort of level to make these things work. That's for sure.
The costs have gone through the roof, but no, we
certainly not complain. We've got about four and a half
five thousand lambs on it will head off in the
winter and we're hoping that those prices hold up for
those as well.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Hey, Seane McGann mcmanaah, thank you very much for your time.
Congratulations to you and Lynette for being inducted into the
New Zealand Business Hall of Fame. So well deserved in
your case.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
Go well, oh, thank you, Jamie, much appreciated.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There we go. There's Shane mcmanaway. Just before I go
to the break in case I forget to do it
in the last break. In fact, Michelle's in my air
big time. I'm blaming her because no one told me
I'm in to be fair. I'm in Queensdown, She's in Dunedin.
Andy's an Auckland. So this show is coming as a
many headed monster. Today Michelle told me that Kenneed from
(33:14):
Kelso Great Farming Area in West Otago is actually the
last winner. Sorry, you can't win any more. Kiwoker Storm
Force Park is worth four hundred and sixty nine dollars.
That's the last one we've got to give away. But
what you can do is go and buy one as
worn by Scott Barrett. Apologies. We'll call it a communication breakdown.
(33:38):
And before I forget, I just want to mention the
Farmstrong team. We have a wonderful partnership with them here
on the country and they've just got a wee message
for us. Just like you can keep physically fit, there
are skills you can learn that will help you stay
mentally strong no matter what challenges Mother Nature or the
markets send your way. These mental fitness skills can make
(34:02):
a huge difference to how you feel and work. So
head to farm Strong or head to the farm Strong
website this weekend. If you're not in the my mind,
and even if you're in the my mind, google it.
You can find it at farmstrong dot co dot nz
and you can get that free farm Strong toolkit. Have
a look at it, find out what works for you
and lock it in Eddie at Farmstrong dot co dot Nz.
(34:25):
We're going to wrap the show with our farmer panel
Stue Low in North Canterbury that had lots of rain
and Stu Duncan in the Manototo wrapping the country with
the farmer panel. I want to start with Stu Duncan
and the Manyatoto, but short on time Stu, and that's
(34:47):
because Ferg Craig Ferguson was going on about the Manyetoto maggots.
How did you come up with a name like that
for your local footy team.
Speaker 12 (34:55):
I'm not sure how that came about. Actually, there's a
bit of a chance to give a name going. 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 there's many times walket have come down
there to the Minnitota Stadium and got beaten. So yeah,
yeah know, poor old Ferg But at the it's not
an uncommon thing to beat walket up, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay Stulow, I'm heading to North Canterbury. Now do you
need an arc?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
No, we went too bed. 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 see out of christ Church two one hundred and
sixty five and Little River and around there well over
two hundred. So yeah, chriist Church East and South was
inundated with lots of rain and wind.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Hey sometimes, ste 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.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
In order, I actually did buy some caves, you say,
And as I was going across Walksheed Pedic, which is
quite bony, there was water lying on it last night
but gone this morning. So yeah, that's one of my
light a panics. So the 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 ragin and a lot
(36:17):
better now than in August or September.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
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 10 (36:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (36:32):
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 millionnakereds of land
surrounded by mountains in the Minnetato. There's a lot of
creeks and rivers and ponds and that's pretty pretty traditional
spot for ducks, for duck and in and ducks, you know,
for a long time. So it's pretty trendy and that's
(36:53):
a great thing really. It keeps a lot of communities
bubbling along and good for the local pubs and the
sports doors and everything. Love Adam's good catch up with
the mates and it's even more proven than this last
week to mate put my way up around here and
then a week later he's getting a three centimeter brain
treum and taken out of his hiding. 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
(37:14):
up once in a year, it's a great thing because
you never know when you get a bit of bed
luck and being your tube.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Absolutely, Hey, look I've got to go. Guys, thank you
very much for your time and really poignant words there
from Stu Duncan. I'm in Queenstown. People think I gallivant
around the country and I do a we but the
reason I'm here is because my best friend is nearing
(37:38):
the end of the battle of his life. And you know,
if you are out there, life is precious. Just enjoy
it and make the most of it because life can
be very fleeting. Indeed, I'll catch you back again on Monday.
Take care.
