Speaker 1 (00:00):
Catch all the latest from the land. It's the Country
Podcast with Jamie McKay. Thanks to Farmlands for fencing solutions
to keep animals secure.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Swear Rasband more Sundays rack of myth than I.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Have Answers covered, King James, only Perceived and Dust I'm
a name and I'll know what's.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
In safe about time my own.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Out to go and man need a favor and get
a new Zealand Welcome to the Country. I'm Jamie McKay,
Shellie Roll love him only pray to God when I
need a favor. I need a favor. I need David
Kirk to stand up at the press conference, which he's
(00:58):
just about to do, so I don't break the embargo
on the naming of the All Black Side. So David
Kirk's up at the podium. We'll just wait for him
to start mentioning a few names so I don't lose
my job. Hey. We're also David Seymour on the show today,
(01:18):
justin Ryegrock the Northern regional finalists for the Young Farmer
of the Year, Jeremy Rooks. Phil Duncan on the Weather
granting us but joins us from Sky Television. Longtime Hurricanes fan.
Just while we wait for Kirk to name this side.
You and I have seen it. My lips are sealed.
What a great game that was on Saturday night. You
(01:40):
must have been wrapped.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, I guess if we live in the wait Kiddo
area or you know, the Chiefs area, Jamie wouldn't have
seen it quite the same way. But it was a
remarkable performance. Really, I don't think anyone saw it. The
conditions were really really difficult. I thought most people would
have seen it as a close game and a low
scoring game. It was quite the opposite, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was. Indeed, we might come back to that game
because they're starting to flash the names on the screen.
So that's we've got the green light to go here.
Now you must be wrapped. Your entire Hurricanes back line,
with the exception of the young fullback what's his name, Harken?
Is it? Yep? They've all made the all Black squad.
So four new Caps, Ardie's the captain. Lots of Hurricanes
(02:25):
in there, especially in the back line. Let's just you
just run through those four new Caps.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
All right. Well, the two wingers Josh Morby and Fehi Fangi,
and aofo which is interesting because it obviously means that
he is no longer going to Newcastles. Obviously that contract
has gone by the boards. So Morby and Finiang Andofo
Xavier Numira. I think most people would agree that he
has been an outstanding prop this season for the Hurricanes
(02:54):
and the other one. What a great story. Anton Segner,
born in Germany, came out to New Zealand And as
a new cap for the All Blacks.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay, well, let's I'll just get you because you're much
better at pronunciations of these names than I am. Can
you just run through the squad? Because other than that,
probably no real surprise. As I Anton Segna was one
we were tossing up about Ardie Save is obviously the captain.
But you just run through the squad from go to woe.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Oh blame me. Here's David Jerk done it yet?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah yeah, yah, yep, yep, they're all flashing up there.
In fact, he's just named. He's just finished naming the squad.
So Nisbo, you won't lose your job at Sky TV.
You're an institution anyhow, They're never going to sack you.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
You never know, you just never know. I think the
first thing we should say Jamie the guys that aren't
available to Mighty Williams, Scott Barrett, Fabian Holland and Leicester Fyingernuku,
which means that will Jordan has been included. So maybe
they've looked at him and said, your injury is not
as bad as we first thought, So that's good news.
So the outside back Sir Jordan Morby Carter to the
(04:00):
Younganofo and Caleb Clark. Midfield is Jordi Barrett, Quinjupia, Billy Proctor,
Anton Lena Brown, who of course has been in Japan.
The five eighths, first fives Reuben Love, Bowden, Barrett and
Damian McKenzie. Halfback's Camroy Guard cortiez Rathama and are we
surprise here Kyle Preston and he has been named the
(04:21):
head of his Canterbury teammate or his Crusader's teammate loose forwards.
This was always going to be contentious. Peter Larky, Simon Parker, Hardi,
Savia Wallace, a Tithi, Luke Jacobson and Tom Segner the
new cap. So I guess you could say unlucky there
Duplessikuriffian probably Sammopeni female as well, the locks Tupo by
(04:43):
Patrick Tuffelow to Josh Lord Sam Darry. I think that
was fairly predictable given that Scott Barrett's not there and
the props the groups Baur, Numia, Omax, Nil and TOSSI
don't see any real surprises there, and we all agree
that the three hookers Omua, Taylor and Tokyohu certainly deserve
(05:04):
to be here. So that's it's the lineup.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, well, as we say, as I said, I think
I might have said this for the third time. Did
you think that Artie save was ever under in danger
of not being the captain because some people have been
saying Jordi Barrett, And you'd have to say, if you're
picking an all black team, probably the first name on
the sheet would almost be Jordi Barrett, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, one of them, for sure. Absolutely. I think they've
really feels, probably feels comfortable with Ardie Savia, given that
he's been working with him all season at Kobe and Japan.
It would have been interesting that had Scott Barrett been available,
whether in fact he would retain the captaincy we'll never
know the answer to that, I guess. So, look, I
don't see it as a surprise.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Fleestafai Anganuku was available. Where would they have picked them
and who would have missed out?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
That's a very very good question. I think they would
have picked him as a back because of course he's
only had about three or four games as a loose forward,
even though he has impressed. But once he's in the squad,
of course he could be that hybrid player sitting on
the bench, able to cover both positions. So look, I
think he probably would have been a back. And if
you look at the team the players in the outside backs,
(06:21):
I don't really know it is he a midfielder or
is he an outside back. It's hard to speculate. Who
might have missed out.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, it might have been one of those one of
your Hurricanes wings, who knows? And the other one worth
noting Jamie Hannah. He's like, he's only twenty three years
of age. He'll join the squad as temporary injury cover
for tupou Vai until he is clared to return. So
and as you say to Mighty William Scott Barrett, Fabian
Holland would have been a lock in, as would fay
(06:50):
Aganuku unavailable because of injury. Okay, who's going to start
on the ten jersey?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I think Ruben Lovell's starting the team. I'll be very
surprised if he doesn't. And one of the reasons for
that is that he's had a fantastic season. But the
other is that he's got to proven partnership with Cam Royguard.
So it's going to be interesting to see who plays fullback.
I suspect it's probably going to be Damien McKenzie and
(07:19):
we're Bowden bearratfits and I'm not sure, but I'd be
very surprised if it wasn't Ruben.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Love Damien McKenzie. One bad game and it was a
bad game, doesn't make you a bad player. He was
brilliant the weekend before. Was he one hundred percent foot?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Not sure there was a hundred percent fit. He certainly
had an off night, that's for certain, but as you say,
seven days earlier against the Crusaders, he was absolutely fantastic.
I think he just had an I just think he
had an off night, and he'll feature prominently in the
All Blacks throughout the season for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Cody Taylor's going to start you could put the house
on that one, I'm sure. But for impact off the bench,
which one of those other two do you pick a
Moor or Takeyaho?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Absolute toss up, isn't it? They both provide terrific impact,
There's no doubt about it. They may look upon Tokyo
as kind of the incumbent. Ama was injured for much
of last year, has had to fight his way back.
But it's a nice problem to have, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yep? And if you're picking the loose forward trio, obviously
Ardie Savia the captain is a Locke and Whalla Satiti,
you would think, providing he's fit, he's had a big
head knock, would be your other one. Who's the third Lucy?
And which way do they manufacture that combination? Simon Parker, Well,
yeah it has been. His physicality is pretty good, isn't it.
(08:43):
And Peter Larky what an athlete?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah? I think I think probably if they go with
their perceived best one first up, probably lack Eye at eight,
a Satti at six and Savia at seven. Ardie Savia
looks to me to be the only genuine number seven.
Luke Jacobson of course, can play all three positions. That's
why I'm a little bit surprised that Duplasika if he's
(09:09):
not there.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, he would be. He would be the shark of mission.
So did Segna get in ahead of him?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Well, he may done, Miceivena. Of course they've been playing
seven for the Blues. He appeals more to me as
a six, but he can cover all three. In fact,
they're all the six named, very versatile in those three positions.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And just perhaps a final one on Miss Xavi and
Emea one of your Hurricanes again, Lis both chieh. He
had a good game, didn't.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
He He was outstanding, really, and he has been for
a number of years. He's played nearly one hundred games
for the Hurricanes. He's been around for a long time.
I think he made his debut in two nineteen. But
I just kept the feeling that he has stepped up
a level this year and he's so versatile, particularly when
he gets the ball in hand. A couple of side
(09:58):
steps at the weekend you don't normally see from a prop.
So he certainly deserves to be there. Yeh.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
And I'm really pleased a final comment for me to
see Josh moreby making it he unfortunately no longer pay
his plays for my Stags, the Southland Stags, but his
mum and dad, John and Debbie are great people. They
went on at twenty fifteen Rugby World Cup, Farming and
Footy Tour and that guy was outstanding on Saturday night
and he's really deserved his All Black call up.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yeah, I've been outstanding all season. Look, he was good
before he left New Zealand and he went over and
played a season I think was Montpellier in France, didn't
particularly enjoy it over there, so it came back and
he has been so good this year. And also of
course he can slot in a fullback, not only a winger.
Heast he knows how to finish and certainly deserves to
(10:47):
be there.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Grutners, But thank you very much for your time. Great
call by the way you and Jeff and Justin on
Saturday night, it must have been a great game to call.
How do you try and how do you pretend to
stay neutral?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I'm always conscious of it listening and watching Jamie, and
I know a lot of people in chief country who
would not have been happy with what was happening.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You are a true professional, That's why you've made it
to the top and the rest of us haven't. I
was quite happy to break the embargo, but you said
I'm not coming on if you break the embargo. There
you go, grant us, but thanks for your time. There
we go. He's a legend, isn't he enisbo with the
new all black team. Right, we will take a break on. Yeah,
(11:30):
just go online and have a look at that side.
We won't run through it again. Granted that, well, well
take a break on the other side of it. David Seymour, Gee,
the old NATS didn't pull any punches over the weekend.
Called David and Winston fighting naughty children. We'll get the
naughty child on next on the country beggars KB chooser, We.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Please on me, it's out the gavernny little favor.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
He's the act party leader and the deputy Prime Minister
and if you're to believe sime And Brown, campaign chair
for the NATS, is a very very naughty boy. Now,
David Seymour, welcome to the country. You can only come
on here if you promise to be good.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I'm always good.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Simeon Brown has compared you and Winston to being fighting children.
And while the National Party was Mum and Dad, And
to be fair to you, I think Winston's the naughtiest
of the two children.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Well, you know, I think it's just election season, isn't it.
Those of it's surprised to hear that from Simeon. I mean,
we both work together as health ministers. We've done a
lot to expand access to medicines, sort out the long
contest between Health New Zealand and FARMAC about who buys
medical devices in this country. Not very sexy, but pretty important.
(13:00):
And I was a bit surprised that, you know, someone
I've worked really well with is trying to make the
point that we don't work well together. You know, I'd
rather that people and the government were pointing at the
things we've achieved together rather than pointing the finger at
each other.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hardly becoming from a coalition partner. Are the Nets getting
away bit desperate here? Because as it stands at the moment,
if they polled it, I don't know, twenty nine or thirty,
they're going to lose some serious senior cabinet ministers, Bishop Brownly,
the Speaker, Goldsmith.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah maybe, but I would just put the coalition first.
If you look at the coalition overall, you know, we
actually are on track to be re elected. Now, maybe
that means it's less National, maybe there's more ACT and
more New Zealand First, or maybe all of that will
change before the election. What I do know is our
first job is to lock labor out, and giving your
(13:54):
party vote to Act is just as powerful at keeping
labor out of power as or New Zealand First for
that matter. On the other hand, there's a second job
we have, which is to unlock New Zealand's potential. It's
not enough to just keep labor out and then sit
on our laurels. We've actually got to go forward here.
And I think one thing about this government. I just
(14:16):
look at what we've achieved with the methane targets, the
new Resource Management Law, the Farm Environment Plans, the Holidays Act,
the Arms Act. I mean, all these things that the
Act parties long stood for have come true. We've actually
found that this government is an environment where you can
make a lot of progress for New Zealand. So I'm
(14:38):
surprised that the National Party aren't pointing more at the
things we've achieved.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
David Sema. One thing the two squabbling children I EU
and Winston can agree on is that you don't want
to borrow the Paris Agreement.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, that's right, and I think that is at tension
in the coalition. Of course, we've been consistent on this.
We voted against the Zero Carbon Act, every other party
voted for it. We would never work with Labor. The
reason that we're in the Paris Agreement with such a
strong commitment to reduce gases as of course because Winston
(15:13):
and Labor sent James Shaw over to Paris to make
the deal. So you know, I just make the point
there's something about consistency here. But it's absolutely true that
we're not going to send billions of dollars overseas. We're
not going to kill Kiwi business and agriculture at the
altar of Paris. So there's going to have to be
an adjustment, and that's why the party says Paris has
(15:36):
to change or we're going to leave. We're put out
at skilled days a detailed plan to renegotiate along the
lines of Uruguay, where we actually say, look, sorry, guys,
but methane is different from CO two and our commitments
should be based on science. If they're not prepared to
do a Uruguay style deal for New Zealand. I think
(15:56):
we should tell them, Look, we've done our best, but
we're out.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'm having sleepless nights over the prospects of the Greens
having any say in a future government. I'm sure you
are as well. Their tax policy released yesterday is out
of madness. They're going to drive the wealth creators out
of the country.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, and look, there will be people who will say, oh,
it doesn't affect me, so I don't care. That's what
really irks me about this policy. They'll say things like
our ninety nine point seven percent of people won't be
affected by this tax. What they're saying underneath that or
is that the problems we face are caused by someone
(16:35):
else's success, and the solution to our problems is vote
for them and they'll pull those guys down a peg
or two, take their money, and somehow we're going to
be better off. Well, I'm sorry, but this country was
built by people who lived in better futures for their children.
That's why we all came out to these islands, cut
broken the land, built the roads, and did all the rest.
(17:00):
As soon as you start adopting a cultural norm that
it's okay to pull down people as long as they
are a minority, you have trashed the place. I know.
We could talk about all the economics and will businesses
leave them? It bad for the economy, all of that stuff. True,
it's all bad. But what really hurts me about this
policy is that they want to take the dark side
(17:21):
of our otherwise happy culture being tall poppy syndrome and
promote it to the status of official government policy. Well,
not on our watch. We want to be a country
that has unlimited potential and we're not afraid to make
the most of it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And that tax threshold of just one hundred and sixty K.
When I say just one hundred and sixty K, I think,
especially if you're living in the city and that's your income,
forty five percent tax on that is quite a bit
because I don't think in this day and age, that
makes you wealthy at all. Not to mention, and we've
seen what it's done for Sakia Starma in the UK
(17:55):
where he's about to get the heave ho. But this
inheritance tax, effectively a death tax, would be spelled the
in for a lot of farming families.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Well exactly, And the Beatles once sung my advice to
those who die, declare the pennies on your eyes?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That was the song Taxman, which I don't think was
entirely serious. I think they were joking, but I know
the Greens are not. And it's true, particularly in rural
New Zealand, people try and build up a legacy across generations.
This flies in the face of that, and it actually
means that nothing is sacred. The Greens will tax you
(18:34):
even in death, and I don't think that that is
the kind of community or society that we should be
seeking to build. One of the strongest motivators most people
have is to leave something better for their children. If
we're going to tax anything which didn't be that.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, the Greens could be the death of us all.
Certainly the death of business and farming. Let me just
finish on the primary industry in New Zealand summat And Awards,
which are happening tomorrow and Wednesday in Auckland at the
Quarter's Hotel. No doubt you'll be invited along to give
a keynote speech. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
David Seymour, Well, the invitation must have got lost in
the mail, but I imagine that Andrew Hogard will be
putting in an appearance there. He's a lot more shall
we say, authentic in the rural area. I'm a sympathizer.
He's the real deal, so I wouldn't be surprised if
Andrew popped up there. I will be preparing for the
(19:28):
ACT Party's annual conference and rally that's at two pm
this Sunday, the twenty eighth. That's also in Auckland, and
we're heading for a record ticket sales, so if you're interested,
please check out the ACT Party website. Rally twenty six
unlock New Zealand's potential. It's going to be a great
start to ACT campaign in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's shameless selection airing there, David Seymour, But other than that,
I've really appreciate it. I've really appreciated you coming on
the show today. Thanks for your time. Likely and as
twenty eight after twelve, you're with the country. If you
haven't heard the news, the All Black Squad was named
just after midday four new Cats. Xavier Numa from the
(20:12):
Hurricane Schee. He was good on Saturday Night, wasn't he.
Anton Segna the Blues. This is the bloke who's born
in Germany and come over here to play rugby. But
like Fabian Holland, I'm surprised there's no room for dupless
careThe I thought he would have done everything he needed
on Saturday night. No room for him. Rico Yuanni, I
(20:33):
think he's yesterday's man, Ollie Norris maybe one of the
ones who've missed out and close and Kyle Preston, Edge's
fellow crusader, Noah Hotham. So the new Cats are Numa Segna,
Josh Morby so pleased about that he played so well
on Saturday night and Fihi Finniannganofo, who obviously got out
(20:55):
of his contract. So there's your four new all blacks.
Ardie Savia will than the side and the entire Hurricanes
back line has been named, with the exception of Harken
the fallback up. Next from young rugby players making their
name to young farmers. It's our penultimate, second to last
(21:16):
profile of a young farmer, Justin Rygrock representing the Northern
region after the break.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
FMG Young Farmer of the Year twenty twenty six. FMG
proud principal sponsor since twenty fifteen, Counting.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Down to the Big FMG Young Farmer of the Year
Grand Final, New Plymouth, July, the second to the fourth.
Here's our penultimate, second last contestant we're going to speak
to as we profile the seven grand finalists. His name
is Justin Rygrock. He's a twenty nine year old sheer
milker from the Northern Region, returning for his second FMG
(22:05):
Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final. He was fifth
last year. Now, the confusing thing about you, Justin, if
you don't mind me saying, so, you're representing the Northern Region,
but you're farming in the Waikato They have plenty region.
Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, thanks Jami, cheers for having me on. Yeah, it
is a bit of a weird one. Yeah, I am
actually in the Waikedo region, but my nearest Young Farmer's
Club is actually hails in the Northern region, so that's
how that works.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So what town are you near in the Waikato region
or is it County's region?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Just a little town called Wauka is my nearest town.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And that's famous for Stephen Donald, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Beaver Country Yep, that's he's at our local rugby club.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
All right, Hey, well talking about your local rugby club.
A recurring theme amongst you guys this year, the seven
Grand finalists and I've got one to go tomorrow, is
that you're all kind of athletes. Are you an athlete?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I think well, I definitely like to keep foot, whether
it's walking down the hills, chasing gear or just naturally
foot sort of walking around the farm and whatnot. But
I used to there abi player, but sort out to
give up, to give up due to injury. But yeah,
try to keep foot when I can.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Well, you wouldn't want to be playing foot you this
year and break a leg ahead of the Grand Finals.
Tell me about your farming operation justin one hundred and
seventy cow dairy operation.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, yeah, so it's just a small farm that I
solo operate by myself. Keeps me busy enough, and yeah,
I really enjoy it. I've been here nine this is
my ninth season starting now, so sort of boiling towards
trying to buy it hopefully next year. And yeah, it's
a long, big goal that I'm sort of working towards.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, one hundred and seventy cow operation would be like
a mum and dad operation. Is there a mum is
there a missus Ryegrock Can I say that?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I guess you can. But now she's not working on
the farm at the moment. She's actually a school teacher,
so she keeps me in line when you can.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Well, there you go. That's a good off income. That
might be your most profitable stock, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Okay, So I'll tell you I'll definitely are out to
work with animals and older with kids, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
So one hundred and seventy cow dairy operation aiming your
long term goal of farm ownership. Good on you. Okay.
So how much of an advantage was finishing or getting
in the foot Grand Final last year and finishing fifth?
It must be a huge advantage having that experience.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, definitely definitely learn a lot from the competition last year.
When I entered last year, it was my first time
sort of even knowing about the competition. And also, yeah,
it learns a lot from being in that. You sort
of get to see a bit one of the ins
and outs having competing in it. But yeah, I'm just
sort of trying to take that experience last year and
just improve on things I know I should have done
(24:52):
a lot better.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
You're twenty nine year old. That means this isn't because
I think you're allowed three cracks at the Grand Final now,
so this is not last week chance saloon for you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Or is it that is? Actually? Yeah, so you can
do three chance three goes, but you can't do three
consecutive goes, so I'll be aging out before i can
have a third.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, you're going to be very determined like the rest
of them, to take this one home. I've been asking
all the contestants and I've got to ask you this
as well. Justin Ryegrock. Strengths and weaknesses? Where are you strong?
What do you need to brush up on because you've
only got well you've got less than a couple of
weeks to do your homework.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, or ten days now. But strengths probably having done
it before. I'd like to consider that a strength. And
are basically anything deary related. I'm pretty box thing, I'm
pretty tidy on that. Weaknesses or I'm not too familiar
with the hand piece unfortunately. Of yeah, well haven't haven't
(25:50):
had much experience with the handpiece in the past, so
only mainly because of the competition. It's sort of made
me do that. And well, obviously, public speaking is my
strong point.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Did you say it as not a strong point or
it is a strong point.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's not a strong point.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You're doing pretty well. And listen to you, Justin. I
would have had you down as a good speaker. You're
going very well. Are you keeping up?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Yeah?

of guys to beat, but we'll give it a good crack. Cheers, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, good on you, Thanks for your time, good luck,

Infant formula company A two Milk has received highly coveted
regulatory approval from China to make its infant formula A pocono.
The company also said it planned to proceed with an
earlier announcement a three hundred million dollars special dividend. A
two Milk brought the pocono plant from China's Yashilly late
last year. The company says it had received approval from

with the A two Pocono factory to an A two

the world world at pace as it slowly gets closer
to New Zealand. Australian authorities have confirmed the H five
strain of the disease after it arrived on the shores
(29:07):
of Western Australia. The virus causes sudden deathned birds without
price symptoms and can spread rapidly, killing entire flocks within days.
MPICHI veterany officer Mary van Andel says it's a serious
disease that could cause a large number of death. She
says scientists have been predicting it will arrive and now
it has arrived. In Australia, you can find moral news

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Sports on the country with AFCO business. Well done.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
So a new coach and a new all black captain.
Well he sort of knew that he's been the captain
in the past. Ardie Savilla as Nispo said it would
be interesting if Scott Barrett was available, who would have
been the captain. So Artie's name is skipper. For the
first squad of Dave Reni's coaching era. There are four
new caps, three of them from Super Rugby champions the
(29:56):
Hurricanes and the bigger mission. The bigger mission is eighty
eight Test outside back Rico Yuani. I'm not sure about
that one because in the midfield anyhow, they've got Jordi
and Jordi, Barrett and Quintepaya. That is your midfield combination.
I would think for the Test matches, Billy Procter played
very well on Saturday Night, and Anton Lennet Brown, who's
(30:19):
a great all rounder and is served Dave Rennie Well
in Japan is also named the four New Caps. By
the way, Xavier neu Mia the Hurricanes prop outstanding on
Saturday Night, Anton Segna, I'm maybe a wee bit surprised
he's edged out maybe duples see Carethi for that spot
and the other ones. Josh Morby absolutely deserving of his
(30:42):
All Black spot. And Fi finniunger Nofo. He's the guy.
He's only twenty three years of age. They've obviously got
him out of his overseas contract. So the two Hurricanes wings,
who both hold the tri scoring record, I think it's
seventeen apiece in Super Rugby, get the Also golf today,
Wyndham Clark has won a second US Golf major, just

holding on for a one stroke win on Long Island.

it is Phil Duncan and the weather you're at the
country brought to you by I was going to say
by Farmstrong. I'd love it if it was, but it's not.
It's farm Lands And of course Isuzu Great deals on
(31:52):
now on the Isuzu dmax uots and the SUVs, the
m ux Great Vehicles, the seven seaters. Up next for Duncan,
an need.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
A favor.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
And a prave when.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Pyer weather on the country with Fiji where happiness comes naturally.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It is thirteen away from one Fell Duncan from weather Watch.
He's very excited. He's launching a new app. I'll come
back to that one fell. But I got a I
got a I get a weekly email from your mates
at met Service and they are truly your mates now,
So this is what they're saying for Monday through to Thursday.
Clear skies and sunshine to start the week. Then a
low approaches from the northwest, wet weather for most on
(32:40):
the cards later in the week, and here's an interesting
one from yesterday. Record breaking June temperatures in christ Church
over the weekend twenty five degrees. It is a bit bizarre.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
We've had a warmer you know, Autumn was warmer than
average in many places. There were some cold fish, some
cold spells, and winter has been milder than usual. And
we had that over the weekend with these northwesters that
came out of Australia and straight into the South Island.
That's why Canterbury had those unbelievably warm days. Now we're
going to be having a cold a week. So low
(33:17):
pressure is going to cross over the North Island this
week and that's going to bring patchy kind of hit
and miss downpaurs around the North Island, particularly the top
half places like Plenty a little more exposed, and the
top part of the South Island, maybe around Nelson and Tasman.
But then as that loan moves over the North Island
around Wednesday Thursday, it is followed behind by a wintry
(33:40):
southerly which will bring snow to the southern Alps and
the hills and a big temperature drop to the South
Island for a few days. Before things start to warm
back up again.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Minda, we need that film. I mean, obviously the Skifields
needed the hydro Lake sneat a bit of snow melt
in the spring months, and even from a farming point
of view, we need we need frost for things like
bud seat and all that.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Yeah, we do. And you know, I actually think the
forecast is pretty good for the most part, because we're
getting a bit of everything. But there is a lot
of high pressure around and I would imagine the saw
to do with al Nino, which seems to produce more
low pressure east of the International Dateline and more high
pressure in our part of the world. So Australia and
New Zealand have got a lot of high pressure, but
(34:26):
there are these lows in the mix bringing in some rain,
and we've got some wintry weather. But I do think
the next week or two aren't really as stormy or
as majorly wintry as they could be.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
When is the winter solstice, so we mustn't be mile
away from it?
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Are we were passed? It was yesterday?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Oh was it?
Speaker 7 (34:43):
And so technically from this point onwards our days start
to get longer, although you don't notice it for a
few more weeks, but psychologically you can tell yourself the
days are getting longer and we're rolling to summer.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Sometimes you wear the man can be a bit bit
chey towards one another. But Phil, it looks like you've
kissed and made up with the Met Service, in particular
because you're launching a new app and conjunction with your
mates at the Met Service.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
We certainly are. We've been working with them for a
good few years and making some real progress on getting
access to data, and one of the ones we've decided
to start with is a lightning tracker. So we're working
with Met Service. We've got their transpowered network of lightning detectors,
the most accurate in the country, and you can get
it right down to within the seconds of the seconds
(35:27):
of it actually happening. So we're launching that on July first.
There's a paid version for it, which is the live version,
and then there's a slightly delayed version with sort of
some limitations for a free version as well. So yeah,
it's all kicking off on the floor.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Why do we need a lightning app? If that's not
a dumb question, just give me twenty seconds on it.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Lightning.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
When there's a thunderstorm, that's usually a very good chance
of very heavy rain in the neighborhood and so we
don't have rain alerts that use the radar network. It's
a bit more complicated and more discussions with our friends.
But the lightning, you know, lightning is dangerous weather. It
produces pretty serious conditions tornadoes, flash, flooding, all sorts of stuff.
So if you want to know when they're sort of
(36:08):
within one hundred kilometers of your place or just down
the road, that that app is the apps for you.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Phil Duncan thank you very much for your time. We're
going to take a break and to wrap it with
our lifestyle Hobby Farmer and Canterbury Jeremy Rocks and talk
about the bull sales need to favor.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
And preve when.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Prayer okay, wrapping the country on a Monday. Will be
in Auckland for the next couple of days Primary Industry
in New Zealand Summit and Awards to morrow night. Jeremy Rocks,
Lifestyle Hobby Farmer. Actually, to be fair, Jeremy, you're my
official ball correspondent because you've kept me well informed with
the bull sALS. You were there was it last week
(36:54):
or the week before when that ball the anger Spore
went for one hundred and sixty eight grand.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah, and they will. I used to buy them balls
at Mattareki Hereford's and I coresced a few mates of
mine five years ago to come down and buy balls
down here and experience the glory of the Woodbank Metareki sales.
So they fly down every of their expert pilot and
I picked them up in Kai Kora at the airport.
(37:21):
And then we have a couple of big nights on
the lash and so we went to time Edi last week.
It was great and saw that bull sold and fantastic balls,
and then went we went to Meterekan Woodbank on Cheesdown.
They had absolute blinders of sales as well. They both
had which the Herefords were nineteen and the Anguish balls
at Woodbank were nineteen and a half nearly, so fantastic
(37:43):
times out there.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Jane Jane Smith told me you had your nose on
the corporate trough or the hospitality trough till two thirty am.
You didn't buy it? Which did he buy anything?
Speaker 6 (37:54):
No, Well that's true, they know. Well I watched sixty
balls getting so at time Eddie. And then as I'm
approaching sixty one's bladder tends to not be as reliable
as usual, so I snuck out there and then there's
this this mad lunatic Tom Sutton from Yegi Station, good
young fellow, and he was in the I noticed the
beers were up early, so we charged into it and
(38:16):
then got into it on Monday night at kickering and
the makes place seven of us.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And then you're giving farmers a bad name. People think
you just wander around bull sales and and drink God,
be careful what I say.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
And also sounding lots of beef Jamie and various other things. Now,
but it's awesome, like it's a you know, there's people
from all around the country come to all these bullsales
that you see the same guys every year and talk
the same rubbish. And so it was two days and
then home on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It's certainly it's been great for the industry the last
few years now. You have had a very good reign
in Canterbury and you desperately need it well.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
As the irony of you were talking about, it was
twenty five degrees on Saturday and then it swung to
the South and got and then Cherain just had arena,
which was awesome. But so yeah, I mean, as I've
said it, always said, things can change overnight. And everyone
got a pretty good raid in Canterbury, which is awesome.
But no snow on the hills yet, which is a
bit concerning. But it'll come this week with the sound
(39:16):
of it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, I hope. So did your social calendar allow you
to fit in the Warriors game yesterday under the roof
at one end Zed Stadium.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
My son did want me to go with him in
ten of his feral Lincoln mates, and I politely declined
I just couldn't do that. But no, he said, it
was just sensational. I mean, this stadium, even my mother
who's eighty four, A whole lot of them, a whole
lot of old birds. Last week when I watched the
Woman's Super Rugby and there were eleven thousand people there.
So when you've got you know, as I say, woman
(39:45):
in their mid eighties game to the stadium, and when
we have got the greatest facility in the world, well
I would no.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
One would argue with that. Okay, I've got twenty seconds.
Any surprise, isn't that all black? Squad.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Oh, I'm just surprised Baden parrots and they're to be fair.
But other than that, it's good. No complaints really, I
think it's what everyone expected.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I'm disappointed for Duplessy Carrefi. I think he deserves to
get in. But anyhow, we'll see how Dave Reni goes.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
His work.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
Right, it's not going to Oh.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Well, there you go. Coming from a christ College. Third
fifteen player Jeremy Rocks. We'll catch you tomorrow in Auckland.
See you then.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
In safe about time my own.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Out to go and man need a favor and get
a new Zealand Welcome to the Country. I'm Jamie McKay,
Shellie Roll love him only pray to God when I
need a favor. I need a favor. I need David
Kirk to stand up at the press conference, which he's
(00:58):
just about to do, so I don't break the embargo
on the naming of the All Black Side. So David
Kirk's up at the podium. We'll just wait for him
to start mentioning a few names so I don't lose
my job. Hey. We're also David Seymour on the show today,
(01:18):
justin Ryegrock the Northern regional finalists for the Young Farmer
of the Year, Jeremy Rooks. Phil Duncan on the Weather
granting us but joins us from Sky Television. Longtime Hurricanes fan.
Just while we wait for Kirk to name this side.
You and I have seen it. My lips are sealed.
What a great game that was on Saturday night. You
(01:40):
must have been wrapped.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, I guess if we live in the wait Kiddo
area or you know, the Chiefs area, Jamie wouldn't have
seen it quite the same way. But it was a
remarkable performance. Really, I don't think anyone saw it. The
conditions were really really difficult. I thought most people would
have seen it as a close game and a low
scoring game. It was quite the opposite, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was. Indeed, we might come back to that game
because they're starting to flash the names on the screen.
So that's we've got the green light to go here.
Now you must be wrapped. Your entire Hurricanes back line,
with the exception of the young fullback what's his name, Harken?
Is it? Yep? They've all made the all Black squad.
So four new Caps, Ardie's the captain. Lots of Hurricanes
(02:25):
in there, especially in the back line. Let's just you
just run through those four new Caps.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
All right. Well, the two wingers Josh Morby and Fehi Fangi,
and aofo which is interesting because it obviously means that
he is no longer going to Newcastles. Obviously that contract
has gone by the boards. So Morby and Finiang Andofo
Xavier Numira. I think most people would agree that he
has been an outstanding prop this season for the Hurricanes
(02:54):
and the other one. What a great story. Anton Segner,
born in Germany, came out to New Zealand And as
a new cap for the All Blacks.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay, well, let's I'll just get you because you're much
better at pronunciations of these names than I am. Can
you just run through the squad? Because other than that,
probably no real surprise. As I Anton Segna was one
we were tossing up about Ardie Save is obviously the captain.
But you just run through the squad from go to woe.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Oh blame me. Here's David Jerk done it yet?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah yeah, yah, yep, yep, they're all flashing up there.
In fact, he's just named. He's just finished naming the squad.
So Nisbo, you won't lose your job at Sky TV.
You're an institution anyhow, They're never going to sack you.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
You never know, you just never know. I think the
first thing we should say Jamie the guys that aren't
available to Mighty Williams, Scott Barrett, Fabian Holland and Leicester Fyingernuku,
which means that will Jordan has been included. So maybe
they've looked at him and said, your injury is not
as bad as we first thought, So that's good news.
So the outside back Sir Jordan Morby Carter to the
(04:00):
Younganofo and Caleb Clark. Midfield is Jordi Barrett, Quinjupia, Billy Proctor,
Anton Lena Brown, who of course has been in Japan.
The five eighths, first fives Reuben Love, Bowden, Barrett and
Damian McKenzie. Halfback's Camroy Guard cortiez Rathama and are we
surprise here Kyle Preston and he has been named the
(04:21):
head of his Canterbury teammate or his Crusader's teammate loose forwards.
This was always going to be contentious. Peter Larky, Simon Parker, Hardi,
Savia Wallace, a Tithi, Luke Jacobson and Tom Segner the
new cap. So I guess you could say unlucky there
Duplessikuriffian probably Sammopeni female as well, the locks Tupo by
(04:43):
Patrick Tuffelow to Josh Lord Sam Darry. I think that
was fairly predictable given that Scott Barrett's not there and
the props the groups Baur, Numia, Omax, Nil and TOSSI
don't see any real surprises there, and we all agree
that the three hookers Omua, Taylor and Tokyohu certainly deserve
(05:04):
to be here. So that's it's the lineup.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, well, as we say, as I said, I think
I might have said this for the third time. Did
you think that Artie save was ever under in danger
of not being the captain because some people have been
saying Jordi Barrett, And you'd have to say, if you're
picking an all black team, probably the first name on
the sheet would almost be Jordi Barrett, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, one of them, for sure. Absolutely. I think they've
really feels, probably feels comfortable with Ardie Savia, given that
he's been working with him all season at Kobe and Japan.
It would have been interesting that had Scott Barrett been available,
whether in fact he would retain the captaincy we'll never
know the answer to that, I guess. So, look, I
don't see it as a surprise.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Fleestafai Anganuku was available. Where would they have picked them
and who would have missed out?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
That's a very very good question. I think they would
have picked him as a back because of course he's
only had about three or four games as a loose forward,
even though he has impressed. But once he's in the squad,
of course he could be that hybrid player sitting on
the bench, able to cover both positions. So look, I
think he probably would have been a back. And if
you look at the team the players in the outside backs,
(06:21):
I don't really know it is he a midfielder or
is he an outside back. It's hard to speculate. Who
might have missed out.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, it might have been one of those one of
your Hurricanes wings, who knows? And the other one worth
noting Jamie Hannah. He's like, he's only twenty three years
of age. He'll join the squad as temporary injury cover
for tupou Vai until he is clared to return. So
and as you say to Mighty William Scott Barrett, Fabian
Holland would have been a lock in, as would fay
(06:50):
Aganuku unavailable because of injury. Okay, who's going to start
on the ten jersey?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I think Ruben Lovell's starting the team. I'll be very
surprised if he doesn't. And one of the reasons for
that is that he's had a fantastic season. But the
other is that he's got to proven partnership with Cam Royguard.
So it's going to be interesting to see who plays fullback.
I suspect it's probably going to be Damien McKenzie and
(07:19):
we're Bowden bearratfits and I'm not sure, but I'd be
very surprised if it wasn't Ruben.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Love Damien McKenzie. One bad game and it was a
bad game, doesn't make you a bad player. He was
brilliant the weekend before. Was he one hundred percent foot?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Not sure there was a hundred percent fit. He certainly
had an off night, that's for certain, but as you say,
seven days earlier against the Crusaders, he was absolutely fantastic.
I think he just had an I just think he
had an off night, and he'll feature prominently in the
All Blacks throughout the season for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Cody Taylor's going to start you could put the house
on that one, I'm sure. But for impact off the bench,
which one of those other two do you pick a
Moor or Takeyaho?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Absolute toss up, isn't it? They both provide terrific impact,
There's no doubt about it. They may look upon Tokyo
as kind of the incumbent. Ama was injured for much
of last year, has had to fight his way back.
But it's a nice problem to have, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yep? And if you're picking the loose forward trio, obviously
Ardie Savia the captain is a Locke and Whalla Satiti,
you would think, providing he's fit, he's had a big
head knock, would be your other one. Who's the third Lucy?
And which way do they manufacture that combination? Simon Parker, Well,
yeah it has been. His physicality is pretty good, isn't it.
(08:43):
And Peter Larky what an athlete?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah? I think I think probably if they go with
their perceived best one first up, probably lack Eye at eight,
a Satti at six and Savia at seven. Ardie Savia
looks to me to be the only genuine number seven.
Luke Jacobson of course, can play all three positions. That's
why I'm a little bit surprised that Duplasika if he's
(09:09):
not there.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, he would be. He would be the shark of mission.
So did Segna get in ahead of him?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Well, he may done, Miceivena. Of course they've been playing
seven for the Blues. He appeals more to me as
a six, but he can cover all three. In fact,
they're all the six named, very versatile in those three positions.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And just perhaps a final one on Miss Xavi and
Emea one of your Hurricanes again, Lis both chieh. He
had a good game, didn't.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
He He was outstanding, really, and he has been for
a number of years. He's played nearly one hundred games
for the Hurricanes. He's been around for a long time.
I think he made his debut in two nineteen. But
I just kept the feeling that he has stepped up
a level this year and he's so versatile, particularly when
he gets the ball in hand. A couple of side
(09:58):
steps at the weekend you don't normally see from a prop.
So he certainly deserves to be there. Yeh.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
And I'm really pleased a final comment for me to
see Josh moreby making it he unfortunately no longer pay
his plays for my Stags, the Southland Stags, but his
mum and dad, John and Debbie are great people. They
went on at twenty fifteen Rugby World Cup, Farming and
Footy Tour and that guy was outstanding on Saturday night
and he's really deserved his All Black call up.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yeah, I've been outstanding all season. Look, he was good
before he left New Zealand and he went over and
played a season I think was Montpellier in France, didn't
particularly enjoy it over there, so it came back and
he has been so good this year. And also of
course he can slot in a fullback, not only a winger.
Heast he knows how to finish and certainly deserves to
(10:47):
be there.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Grutners, But thank you very much for your time. Great
call by the way you and Jeff and Justin on
Saturday night, it must have been a great game to call.
How do you try and how do you pretend to
stay neutral?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I'm always conscious of it listening and watching Jamie, and
I know a lot of people in chief country who
would not have been happy with what was happening.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You are a true professional, That's why you've made it
to the top and the rest of us haven't. I
was quite happy to break the embargo, but you said
I'm not coming on if you break the embargo. There
you go, grant us, but thanks for your time. There
we go. He's a legend, isn't he enisbo with the
new all black team. Right, we will take a break on. Yeah,
(11:30):
just go online and have a look at that side.
We won't run through it again. Granted that, well, well
take a break on the other side of it. David Seymour, Gee,
the old NATS didn't pull any punches over the weekend.
Called David and Winston fighting naughty children. We'll get the
naughty child on next on the country beggars KB chooser, We.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Please on me, it's out the gavernny little favor.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
He's the act party leader and the deputy Prime Minister
and if you're to believe sime And Brown, campaign chair
for the NATS, is a very very naughty boy. Now,
David Seymour, welcome to the country. You can only come
on here if you promise to be good.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I'm always good.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Simeon Brown has compared you and Winston to being fighting children.
And while the National Party was Mum and Dad, And
to be fair to you, I think Winston's the naughtiest
of the two children.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Well, you know, I think it's just election season, isn't it.
Those of it's surprised to hear that from Simeon. I mean,
we both work together as health ministers. We've done a
lot to expand access to medicines, sort out the long
contest between Health New Zealand and FARMAC about who buys
medical devices in this country. Not very sexy, but pretty important.
(13:00):
And I was a bit surprised that, you know, someone
I've worked really well with is trying to make the
point that we don't work well together. You know, I'd
rather that people and the government were pointing at the
things we've achieved together rather than pointing the finger at
each other.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hardly becoming from a coalition partner. Are the Nets getting
away bit desperate here? Because as it stands at the moment,
if they polled it, I don't know, twenty nine or thirty,
they're going to lose some serious senior cabinet ministers, Bishop Brownly,
the Speaker, Goldsmith.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah maybe, but I would just put the coalition first.
If you look at the coalition overall, you know, we
actually are on track to be re elected. Now, maybe
that means it's less National, maybe there's more ACT and
more New Zealand First, or maybe all of that will
change before the election. What I do know is our
first job is to lock labor out, and giving your
(13:54):
party vote to Act is just as powerful at keeping
labor out of power as or New Zealand First for
that matter. On the other hand, there's a second job
we have, which is to unlock New Zealand's potential. It's
not enough to just keep labor out and then sit
on our laurels. We've actually got to go forward here.
And I think one thing about this government. I just
(14:16):
look at what we've achieved with the methane targets, the
new Resource Management Law, the Farm Environment Plans, the Holidays Act,
the Arms Act. I mean, all these things that the
Act parties long stood for have come true. We've actually
found that this government is an environment where you can
make a lot of progress for New Zealand. So I'm
(14:38):
surprised that the National Party aren't pointing more at the
things we've achieved.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
David Sema. One thing the two squabbling children I EU
and Winston can agree on is that you don't want
to borrow the Paris Agreement.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, that's right, and I think that is at tension
in the coalition. Of course, we've been consistent on this.
We voted against the Zero Carbon Act, every other party
voted for it. We would never work with Labor. The
reason that we're in the Paris Agreement with such a
strong commitment to reduce gases as of course because Winston
(15:13):
and Labor sent James Shaw over to Paris to make
the deal. So you know, I just make the point
there's something about consistency here. But it's absolutely true that
we're not going to send billions of dollars overseas. We're
not going to kill Kiwi business and agriculture at the
altar of Paris. So there's going to have to be
an adjustment, and that's why the party says Paris has
(15:36):
to change or we're going to leave. We're put out
at skilled days a detailed plan to renegotiate along the
lines of Uruguay, where we actually say, look, sorry, guys,
but methane is different from CO two and our commitments
should be based on science. If they're not prepared to
do a Uruguay style deal for New Zealand. I think
(15:56):
we should tell them, Look, we've done our best, but
we're out.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'm having sleepless nights over the prospects of the Greens
having any say in a future government. I'm sure you
are as well. Their tax policy released yesterday is out
of madness. They're going to drive the wealth creators out
of the country.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, and look, there will be people who will say, oh,
it doesn't affect me, so I don't care. That's what
really irks me about this policy. They'll say things like
our ninety nine point seven percent of people won't be
affected by this tax. What they're saying underneath that or
is that the problems we face are caused by someone
(16:35):
else's success, and the solution to our problems is vote
for them and they'll pull those guys down a peg
or two, take their money, and somehow we're going to
be better off. Well, I'm sorry, but this country was
built by people who lived in better futures for their children.
That's why we all came out to these islands, cut
broken the land, built the roads, and did all the rest.
(17:00):
As soon as you start adopting a cultural norm that
it's okay to pull down people as long as they
are a minority, you have trashed the place. I know.
We could talk about all the economics and will businesses
leave them? It bad for the economy, all of that stuff. True,
it's all bad. But what really hurts me about this
policy is that they want to take the dark side
(17:21):
of our otherwise happy culture being tall poppy syndrome and
promote it to the status of official government policy. Well,
not on our watch. We want to be a country
that has unlimited potential and we're not afraid to make
the most of it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And that tax threshold of just one hundred and sixty K.
When I say just one hundred and sixty K, I think,
especially if you're living in the city and that's your income,
forty five percent tax on that is quite a bit
because I don't think in this day and age, that
makes you wealthy at all. Not to mention, and we've
seen what it's done for Sakia Starma in the UK
(17:55):
where he's about to get the heave ho. But this
inheritance tax, effectively a death tax, would be spelled the
in for a lot of farming families.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Well exactly, And the Beatles once sung my advice to
those who die, declare the pennies on your eyes?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That was the song Taxman, which I don't think was
entirely serious. I think they were joking, but I know
the Greens are not. And it's true, particularly in rural
New Zealand, people try and build up a legacy across generations.
This flies in the face of that, and it actually
means that nothing is sacred. The Greens will tax you
(18:34):
even in death, and I don't think that that is
the kind of community or society that we should be
seeking to build. One of the strongest motivators most people
have is to leave something better for their children. If
we're going to tax anything which didn't be that.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, the Greens could be the death of us all.
Certainly the death of business and farming. Let me just
finish on the primary industry in New Zealand summat And Awards,
which are happening tomorrow and Wednesday in Auckland at the
Quarter's Hotel. No doubt you'll be invited along to give
a keynote speech. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
David Seymour, Well, the invitation must have got lost in
the mail, but I imagine that Andrew Hogard will be
putting in an appearance there. He's a lot more shall
we say, authentic in the rural area. I'm a sympathizer.
He's the real deal, so I wouldn't be surprised if
Andrew popped up there. I will be preparing for the
(19:28):
ACT Party's annual conference and rally that's at two pm
this Sunday, the twenty eighth. That's also in Auckland, and
we're heading for a record ticket sales, so if you're interested,
please check out the ACT Party website. Rally twenty six
unlock New Zealand's potential. It's going to be a great
start to ACT campaign in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's shameless selection airing there, David Seymour, But other than that,
I've really appreciate it. I've really appreciated you coming on
the show today. Thanks for your time. Likely and as
twenty eight after twelve, you're with the country. If you
haven't heard the news, the All Black Squad was named
just after midday four new Cats. Xavier Numa from the
(20:12):
Hurricane Schee. He was good on Saturday Night, wasn't he.
Anton Segna the Blues. This is the bloke who's born
in Germany and come over here to play rugby. But
like Fabian Holland, I'm surprised there's no room for dupless
careThe I thought he would have done everything he needed
on Saturday night. No room for him. Rico Yuanni, I
(20:33):
think he's yesterday's man, Ollie Norris maybe one of the
ones who've missed out and close and Kyle Preston, Edge's
fellow crusader, Noah Hotham. So the new Cats are Numa Segna,
Josh Morby so pleased about that he played so well
on Saturday night and Fihi Finniannganofo, who obviously got out
(20:55):
of his contract. So there's your four new all blacks.
Ardie Savia will than the side and the entire Hurricanes
back line has been named, with the exception of Harken
the fallback up. Next from young rugby players making their
name to young farmers. It's our penultimate, second to last
(21:16):
profile of a young farmer, Justin Rygrock representing the Northern
region after the break.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
FMG Young Farmer of the Year twenty twenty six. FMG
proud principal sponsor since twenty fifteen, Counting.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Down to the Big FMG Young Farmer of the Year
Grand Final, New Plymouth, July, the second to the fourth.
Here's our penultimate, second last contestant we're going to speak
to as we profile the seven grand finalists. His name
is Justin Rygrock. He's a twenty nine year old sheer
milker from the Northern Region, returning for his second FMG
(22:05):
Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final. He was fifth
last year. Now, the confusing thing about you, Justin, if
you don't mind me saying, so, you're representing the Northern Region,
but you're farming in the Waikato They have plenty region.
Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, thanks Jami, cheers for having me on. Yeah, it
is a bit of a weird one. Yeah, I am
actually in the Waikedo region, but my nearest Young Farmer's
Club is actually hails in the Northern region, so that's
how that works.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So what town are you near in the Waikato region
or is it County's region?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Just a little town called Wauka is my nearest town.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And that's famous for Stephen Donald, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Beaver Country Yep, that's he's at our local rugby club.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
All right, Hey, well talking about your local rugby club.
A recurring theme amongst you guys this year, the seven
Grand finalists and I've got one to go tomorrow, is
that you're all kind of athletes. Are you an athlete?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I think well, I definitely like to keep foot, whether
it's walking down the hills, chasing gear or just naturally
foot sort of walking around the farm and whatnot. But
I used to there abi player, but sort out to
give up, to give up due to injury. But yeah,
try to keep foot when I can.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Well, you wouldn't want to be playing foot you this
year and break a leg ahead of the Grand Finals.
Tell me about your farming operation justin one hundred and
seventy cow dairy operation.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, yeah, so it's just a small farm that I
solo operate by myself. Keeps me busy enough, and yeah,
I really enjoy it. I've been here nine this is
my ninth season starting now, so sort of boiling towards
trying to buy it hopefully next year. And yeah, it's
a long, big goal that I'm sort of working towards.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, one hundred and seventy cow operation would be like
a mum and dad operation. Is there a mum is
there a missus Ryegrock Can I say that?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I guess you can. But now she's not working on
the farm at the moment. She's actually a school teacher,
so she keeps me in line when you can.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Well, there you go. That's a good off income. That
might be your most profitable stock, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Okay, So I'll tell you I'll definitely are out to
work with animals and older with kids, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
So one hundred and seventy cow dairy operation aiming your
long term goal of farm ownership. Good on you. Okay.
So how much of an advantage was finishing or getting
in the foot Grand Final last year and finishing fifth?
It must be a huge advantage having that experience.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, definitely definitely learn a lot from the competition last year.
When I entered last year, it was my first time
sort of even knowing about the competition. And also, yeah,
it learns a lot from being in that. You sort
of get to see a bit one of the ins
and outs having competing in it. But yeah, I'm just
sort of trying to take that experience last year and
just improve on things I know I should have done
(24:52):
a lot better.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
You're twenty nine year old. That means this isn't because
I think you're allowed three cracks at the Grand Final now,
so this is not last week chance saloon for you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Or is it that is? Actually? Yeah, so you can
do three chance three goes, but you can't do three
consecutive goes, so I'll be aging out before i can
have a third.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, you're going to be very determined like the rest
of them, to take this one home. I've been asking
all the contestants and I've got to ask you this
as well. Justin Ryegrock. Strengths and weaknesses? Where are you strong?
What do you need to brush up on because you've
only got well you've got less than a couple of
weeks to do your homework.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, or ten days now. But strengths probably having done
it before. I'd like to consider that a strength. And
are basically anything deary related. I'm pretty box thing, I'm
pretty tidy on that. Weaknesses or I'm not too familiar
with the hand piece unfortunately. Of yeah, well haven't haven't
(25:50):
had much experience with the handpiece in the past, so
only mainly because of the competition. It's sort of made
me do that. And well, obviously, public speaking is my
strong point.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Did you say it as not a strong point or
it is a strong point.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's not a strong point.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You're doing pretty well. And listen to you, Justin. I
would have had you down as a good speaker. You're
going very well. Are you keeping up?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Thanks for that, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
All right, Hey, Justin Ryegrock, thank you very much for
your time, good luck. Are you living in the Waikato
Bay of Plenty region, but you're representing the Northern region.
You are as second to last young farmer of the year.
We'll be profiling. We'll be keeping a keen eye on
you guys because I'm hearing through the grapevine Justin that
this is the most even field for years.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, definitely a hard going to be a hard group
of guys to beat, but we'll give it a good crack. Cheers, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, good on you, Thanks for your time, good luck,
Thank you. Justin Raigrock representing the Northern region. As I said,
he actually just lives on the boundary. He's on the
bottom side of it. He lives in the Waikatoba of
Plenty region. Our final as seventh out of seventh young fine,
Young Farmer Final. Let's get it right, FMG. Young Farmer
(27:02):
of the Year is Bryce Win. He'll be on the
show tomorrow, the show tomorrow and the Wednesday, not Thursday.
Tomorrow and Wednesday. We'll be coming to you from the
Quarters Hotel venue for the Primary Industry in New Zealand
Summit and of course the Primary Industry Awards on Tuesday
evening up Next, Michelle with the latest and Rural News.
(27:24):
We'll update the sports news for you. A new All

The country's rural news with cub cadet. It's one thing
to talk innovation, another to back it up, drive it.

your local store guest.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Infant formula company A two Milk has received highly coveted
regulatory approval from China to make its infant formula A pocono.
The company also said it planned to proceed with an
earlier announcement a three hundred million dollars special dividend. A
two Milk brought the pocono plant from China's Yashilly late
last year. The company says it had received approval from
(28:46):
the State Administration for Market Regulation to transition the two
China label infant formula product registrations acquired in the connection
with the A two Pocono factory to an A two
branded product and concern. The bird flu is moving around
the world world at pace as it slowly gets closer
to New Zealand. Australian authorities have confirmed the H five
strain of the disease after it arrived on the shores
(29:07):
of Western Australia. The virus causes sudden deathned birds without
price symptoms and can spread rapidly, killing entire flocks within days.
MPICHI veterany officer Mary van Andel says it's a serious
disease that could cause a large number of death. She
says scientists have been predicting it will arrive and now
it has arrived. In Australia, you can find moral news
(29:27):
at the Country dot co dot nz. Here's Jamie was sport.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Sports on the country with AFCO business. Well done.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
So a new coach and a new all black captain.
Well he sort of knew that he's been the captain
in the past. Ardie Savilla as Nispo said it would
be interesting if Scott Barrett was available, who would have
been the captain. So Artie's name is skipper. For the
first squad of Dave Reni's coaching era. There are four
new caps, three of them from Super Rugby champions the
(29:56):
Hurricanes and the bigger mission. The bigger mission is eighty
eight Test outside back Rico Yuani. I'm not sure about
that one because in the midfield anyhow, they've got Jordi
and Jordi, Barrett and Quintepaya. That is your midfield combination.
I would think for the Test matches, Billy Procter played
very well on Saturday Night, and Anton Lennet Brown, who's
(30:19):
a great all rounder and is served Dave Rennie Well
in Japan is also named the four New Caps. By
the way, Xavier neu Mia the Hurricanes prop outstanding on
Saturday Night, Anton Segna, I'm maybe a wee bit surprised
he's edged out maybe duples see Carethi for that spot
and the other ones. Josh Morby absolutely deserving of his
(30:42):
All Black spot. And Fi finniunger Nofo. He's the guy.
He's only twenty three years of age. They've obviously got
him out of his overseas contract. So the two Hurricanes wings,
who both hold the tri scoring record, I think it's
seventeen apiece in Super Rugby, get the Also golf today,
Wyndham Clark has won a second US Golf major, just
(31:05):
holding on for a one stroke win on Long Island.
Seven time champion Serena Williams has been offered a singles
wild card at Wimbledon starting later this month, And of
course it was such a lot of sport happening one o'clock.
The all Whites in Egypt are heading too. This afternoon's
football Football World Cup clash in Vancouver, gunning to be
(31:26):
the first team in Paul g to post a win
after four games, because the other two teams in that
side of the drawer had a drawer this morning. Up next,
it is Phil Duncan and the weather you're at the
country brought to you by I was going to say
by Farmstrong. I'd love it if it was, but it's not.
It's farm Lands And of course Isuzu Great deals on
(31:52):
now on the Isuzu dmax uots and the SUVs, the
m ux Great Vehicles, the seven seaters. Up next for Duncan,
an need.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
A favor.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
And a prave when.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Pyer weather on the country with Fiji where happiness comes naturally.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It is thirteen away from one Fell Duncan from weather Watch.
He's very excited. He's launching a new app. I'll come
back to that one fell. But I got a I
got a I get a weekly email from your mates
at met Service and they are truly your mates now,
So this is what they're saying for Monday through to Thursday.
Clear skies and sunshine to start the week. Then a
low approaches from the northwest, wet weather for most on
(32:40):
the cards later in the week, and here's an interesting
one from yesterday. Record breaking June temperatures in christ Church
over the weekend twenty five degrees. It is a bit bizarre.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
We've had a warmer you know, Autumn was warmer than
average in many places. There were some cold fish, some
cold spells, and winter has been milder than usual. And
we had that over the weekend with these northwesters that
came out of Australia and straight into the South Island.
That's why Canterbury had those unbelievably warm days. Now we're
going to be having a cold a week. So low
(33:17):
pressure is going to cross over the North Island this
week and that's going to bring patchy kind of hit
and miss downpaurs around the North Island, particularly the top
half places like Plenty a little more exposed, and the
top part of the South Island, maybe around Nelson and Tasman.
But then as that loan moves over the North Island
around Wednesday Thursday, it is followed behind by a wintry
(33:40):
southerly which will bring snow to the southern Alps and
the hills and a big temperature drop to the South
Island for a few days. Before things start to warm
back up again.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Minda, we need that film. I mean, obviously the Skifields
needed the hydro Lake sneat a bit of snow melt
in the spring months, and even from a farming point
of view, we need we need frost for things like
bud seat and all that.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Yeah, we do. And you know, I actually think the
forecast is pretty good for the most part, because we're
getting a bit of everything. But there is a lot
of high pressure around and I would imagine the saw
to do with al Nino, which seems to produce more
low pressure east of the International Dateline and more high
pressure in our part of the world. So Australia and
New Zealand have got a lot of high pressure, but
(34:26):
there are these lows in the mix bringing in some rain,
and we've got some wintry weather. But I do think
the next week or two aren't really as stormy or
as majorly wintry as they could be.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
When is the winter solstice, so we mustn't be mile
away from it?
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Are we were passed? It was yesterday?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Oh was it?
Speaker 7 (34:43):
And so technically from this point onwards our days start
to get longer, although you don't notice it for a
few more weeks, but psychologically you can tell yourself the
days are getting longer and we're rolling to summer.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Sometimes you wear the man can be a bit bit
chey towards one another. But Phil, it looks like you've
kissed and made up with the Met Service, in particular
because you're launching a new app and conjunction with your
mates at the Met Service.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
We certainly are. We've been working with them for a
good few years and making some real progress on getting
access to data, and one of the ones we've decided
to start with is a lightning tracker. So we're working
with Met Service. We've got their transpowered network of lightning detectors,
the most accurate in the country, and you can get
it right down to within the seconds of the seconds
(35:27):
of it actually happening. So we're launching that on July first.
There's a paid version for it, which is the live version,
and then there's a slightly delayed version with sort of
some limitations for a free version as well. So yeah,
it's all kicking off on the floor.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Why do we need a lightning app? If that's not
a dumb question, just give me twenty seconds on it.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Lightning.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
When there's a thunderstorm, that's usually a very good chance
of very heavy rain in the neighborhood and so we
don't have rain alerts that use the radar network. It's
a bit more complicated and more discussions with our friends.
But the lightning, you know, lightning is dangerous weather. It
produces pretty serious conditions tornadoes, flash, flooding, all sorts of stuff.
So if you want to know when they're sort of
(36:08):
within one hundred kilometers of your place or just down
the road, that that app is the apps for you.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Phil Duncan thank you very much for your time. We're
going to take a break and to wrap it with
our lifestyle Hobby Farmer and Canterbury Jeremy Rocks and talk
about the bull sales need to favor.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
And preve when.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Prayer okay, wrapping the country on a Monday. Will be
in Auckland for the next couple of days Primary Industry
in New Zealand Summit and Awards to morrow night. Jeremy Rocks,
Lifestyle Hobby Farmer. Actually, to be fair, Jeremy, you're my
official ball correspondent because you've kept me well informed with
the bull sALS. You were there was it last week
(36:54):
or the week before when that ball the anger Spore
went for one hundred and sixty eight grand.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah, and they will. I used to buy them balls
at Mattareki Hereford's and I coresced a few mates of
mine five years ago to come down and buy balls
down here and experience the glory of the Woodbank Metareki sales.
So they fly down every of their expert pilot and
I picked them up in Kai Kora at the airport.
(37:21):
And then we have a couple of big nights on
the lash and so we went to time Edi last week.
It was great and saw that bull sold and fantastic balls,
and then went we went to Meterekan Woodbank on Cheesdown.
They had absolute blinders of sales as well. They both
had which the Herefords were nineteen and the Anguish balls
at Woodbank were nineteen and a half nearly, so fantastic
(37:43):
times out there.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Jane Jane Smith told me you had your nose on
the corporate trough or the hospitality trough till two thirty am.
You didn't buy it? Which did he buy anything?
Speaker 6 (37:54):
No, Well that's true, they know. Well I watched sixty
balls getting so at time Eddie. And then as I'm
approaching sixty one's bladder tends to not be as reliable
as usual, so I snuck out there and then there's
this this mad lunatic Tom Sutton from Yegi Station, good
young fellow, and he was in the I noticed the
beers were up early, so we charged into it and
(38:16):
then got into it on Monday night at kickering and
the makes place seven of us.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And then you're giving farmers a bad name. People think
you just wander around bull sales and and drink God,
be careful what I say.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
And also sounding lots of beef Jamie and various other things. Now,
but it's awesome, like it's a you know, there's people
from all around the country come to all these bullsales
that you see the same guys every year and talk
the same rubbish. And so it was two days and
then home on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It's certainly it's been great for the industry the last
few years now. You have had a very good reign
in Canterbury and you desperately need it well.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
As the irony of you were talking about, it was
twenty five degrees on Saturday and then it swung to
the South and got and then Cherain just had arena,
which was awesome. But so yeah, I mean, as I've
said it, always said, things can change overnight. And everyone
got a pretty good raid in Canterbury, which is awesome.
But no snow on the hills yet, which is a
bit concerning. But it'll come this week with the sound
(39:16):
of it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, I hope. So did your social calendar allow you
to fit in the Warriors game yesterday under the roof
at one end Zed Stadium.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
My son did want me to go with him in
ten of his feral Lincoln mates, and I politely declined
I just couldn't do that. But no, he said, it
was just sensational. I mean, this stadium, even my mother
who's eighty four, A whole lot of them, a whole
lot of old birds. Last week when I watched the
Woman's Super Rugby and there were eleven thousand people there.
So when you've got you know, as I say, woman
(39:45):
in their mid eighties game to the stadium, and when
we have got the greatest facility in the world, well
I would no.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
One would argue with that. Okay, I've got twenty seconds.
Any surprise, isn't that all black? Squad.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Oh, I'm just surprised Baden parrots and they're to be fair.
But other than that, it's good. No complaints really, I
think it's what everyone expected.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I'm disappointed for Duplessy Carrefi. I think he deserves to
get in. But anyhow, we'll see how Dave Reni goes.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
His work.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
Right, it's not going to Oh.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Well, there you go. Coming from a christ College. Third
fifteen player Jeremy Rocks. We'll catch you tomorrow in Auckland.
See you then.
Speaker 1 (40:25):

Podcast with Jamie McKay. Thanks to Farmlands for fencing solutions
