Speaker 1 (00:00):
Closing keynote speakers this afternoon at two forty five Emmopaul,
Tim Danjin a vision for the future of New Zealand
farming from the next generation of farming leaders.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Wasn't I'll start with you, Emma Paul.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Wasn't that Brady vi BCUs very well inspiring sort of
character and personality. I only met her last night at
the awards, but you know people like her and you
guys driving agg It's the way of the future what
it had better be.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thanks for having us, Jamie. It's lovely to be here
in person, seeing your lovely face. Unfortunately Tim and I
haven't been here for the whole session, so we haven't
seen all of the speakers, but it has been inspiring
sitting through some of them today and also hearing different
perspectives possibly on some topics today, particularly in between morning
tea and lunch, about conservation and things that we don't

(00:50):
always think about on farm and just changing your mindset.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
So I thought it was right now.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Tim, you've come all the way from Antarctica aka Riverton
in South where you've gone dairy farming down there from
West Auckland. You're going to be nice and handy for
next week's Young Farmer Grand Final and in the cargo.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yep, we'll be there with boughs on, Jamie, very much
looking forward to it. The practical day out at Winton
there will be fantastic and you we're looking to take
the farm crew along as well and sort of showcase
the contest to them and hopefully get a few entrants
out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
How have you found the acclimatization if that's the word
I'm looking for. Probably not acclimatizing to the Southland temperatures,
because it's been a bit nippy down there.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
They tell me it has.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
There's been an adjustment, that's for sure. But I'm really
enjoying the sunny days that you get after a big frost.
The coldest I think we had was minus seven at Clifton,
so that was a cold morning and all the waterlines
of frozen so created a few problems there, but no
loving it, Jamie.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Emma you'll be down there. What hat are you wearing
down there now?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Just the Emma hat. I'll be down supporting a few
of the young farmers and you be there with new
Holland helping to run one of the Agri Kids events.
So it'd be good to be on some blue tractors
there and see what the kids get up to as well.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
On you, shameless plug, even though we're sponsored by a
different color, But.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
God on you. You're doing a good job, Jamie.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well you're doing a good job for New Holland who
support you, which is wonderful. Without letting the cat out
of the bag, you too, You've got sometimes at a
conference this is like the death seat, the last speaking
slot of a conference. People are tired, they've been out
too late, they've been in a bar at one am
with the EU ambassador's in New Zealand, not looking at
anybody in particular, and they just want to get home.

(02:28):
So you guys are going to have to capture them
and hold them. What have we got coming up this afternoon?
What have I got to look forward to?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well, hopefully a lot of energy, Jamie, because you're right,
we're going to have to try and pick the crowd
up and get them across the finish line. So we'll
be talking largely about why we're optimistic about the sector
going forward and why we've chosen it as a career path.
And I think it's easy at conferences like this to
sometimes get a bit bogged down in the negativity that
there are a lot of challenges and issues out there.
But as young farms, were still extremely optimistic about our

(02:56):
futures within the primary sector.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, and what's your message.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh, there won't be a lot of fact in the
speech there, jammy, but a lot of opinion and a
lot of it is also about our story and how
we got here, how we came to speak on your
show regularly, how we get invited to conferences, and that's
all through the Young Farm of the Year contest and
our story to date. But yeah, I'll have a message
there around the optimism I have and that I think
we are not pulling enough resources from our local community.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, Tim was farming on the Home Beef farm west Auckland,
Mirrui there, but he got sick of seeing how much
money you were making on the White Caddo dairy farm.
Thus the trip down to Southland to go share milking
down there. And I know you're going down there to
do this stunt to make some money to make the
farm succession thing work. I don't know whether you're caught

(03:43):
up with what Todd Charteris had to say or our
emerging leader. But I mean, how tough is it because
how many kids in your family?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Too many?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Five of us, but you're all uber achievers so that
but how many are farming?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Just the two of us there?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
So is it going to work?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, we'll make it work, Jamie. Absolutely, Every farm has
its own unique challenges. I don't think there's an easy
succession story out there. So it's about making sure that
we prioritize relationships at the very front of it. Also,
as long as we can keep sitting around table talking
to each other, then there is absolutely solutions for all
the problems that we've got.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you favor what Bridey did and getting somebody completely
independent in to be an independent arbitrator.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Absolutely. I think it's refreshing to have that sort of
person who's in the middle, who can be very neutral
and taken into account both sides of the story, because
it is easy to get emotional about these things often
because there's a lot at stake and it is an
emotional topic. But the more that we can talk about
it openly together than the closer we are to coming
up with solutions.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
All right, Hey, Emma, Paul Tim Dangein, thank you very
much for your time. We're hanging around, especially to hear
your presentation. We're going to be rushing late to the airport,
so I'm sure you won't let us down. As the
closing note speakers this afternoon for the future of New
Zealand farming from the next generation. Go well and enjoy
the Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final down and

(05:08):
in the cargo next week.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I won't be there unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm doing something in ash Burton for Rural co on Thursday,
and then I've got a thing called a rugby test
to prepare for in Dunedin.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
But go well.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm looking forward to seeing who the FMG twenty twenty
five Young Farmer of the Year is.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Thanks to your time, guys, brilliant, Thanks Jamie, perfect, Thanks Ja,
thank you.
