Wool prices have seen a significant rise this week, and there's a few key factors behind this development.
Currently, wool prices are on the longest rise since 1987 - and while these prices are mostly benefitting Australian farmers, there's hope Kiwis could benefit from this demand too.
The Country's Hamish McKay explained further.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Amish Hi Heather.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So, why is the price of wool going up?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, it's starting to eage Ford here, but the big
move is across the Tasman and we're hoping that it
will come over here and.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Not only through the youth. About back to the fees
to have noted such a spike in overall will prices
and that was driven by the Chinese military back in
that time, snapping up every kilogram or pound of wool
as it was back in the day to reclose the military.
(00:44):
Now that's what's happening again. They're doing a big refit
of their what four million sort of military members, So
woolen coats, imagine you know, woolen carpets for the tanks,
all those sorts of things. Yeah, so there's no sort
of haggling or anything going on. They're buying up everything.
So it would be nice if its philters across this
side at the Tasman. And the last time it was
(01:05):
that it did, and that was back in the fifties,
and I know because my dad told me that he
got seen off the board. Him and his father put
a catalog. I'm up in the matter with two, so
you go. It's again hopefully.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm terrified, Hamish because you're your receptions cutting in and
out that we're going to lose you. But so before
we do, give me your biggest patch for why sharing
should be at the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Ah, I'll cheer you picture.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I just think it's a great competitive sport.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
And that's actually hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's a great competitive sport.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And cut.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
He's gone, He's got.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That's it, go by, Hamish. Thanks for trying.
Speaker 2 (01:45):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
