21. Jo Hay - Springbank Farm

In this episode Becks catches up with Jo Hay, who alongside her husband Ross and their 3 kids farms Sheep & Beef in North Otago.

Jo wears many hats in the agricultural sector including Director on the North Otago Irrigation Company, Beef+LambNZ Central South Island Farmer Councillor, Steering Committee member for North Otago Sustainable Land Management (NOSLaM) and most recently donning the hat of Director on the board of Meat the Need…But to Jo nothing beats that feeling of stepping back out onto the farm!

Jo’s viewpoint on Sustainability is really refreshing and the conversation about change mindset and our ability to find opportunity in challenge is so important along with the weaving of multiple Sustainable Development Goals throughout the farming business and her agri-sector contributions.

In this episode Jo refers to the Māori whakatauki “Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei” For us and Our Children After Us which is of Ngai Tahu origin.
