Speaker 6 (00:30):
Gooday and good morning, New Zealand's I'm Jamie McKay. This
is the best of the country brought to you by Rabobank.
We're growing a better New Zealand together. Kicking it off
with some great country music from Jelly Roll, which is
apt because we're going to kick off the best of
the country today with dog Roll. You may know him
better as Scott Barrett All Blacks Captain. We talked fishing
(00:52):
and footy earlier in the week with the son of
a Taranaki airy farmer. Mark Warren is an outspoken Hawks
Bay farmer who's up in arms about New Zealand selling
a synthetic beanies instead of woolen ones. Jane Smith, north
Otago farmer caught up with her midweek. We shared some
outrage over Paris protests and net zero banking. We're going
(01:16):
to talk to Jen Corchran about record meat prices. She's
from Rabobank, by the way, and avocado or Avocados, and
got a great interview to finish the show, Neville Clark.
More about that later. It's the Best of the Country
brought to you by Rabobank.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Please don't me.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Garman the Best of the Country with Rabobank. Choose the
bank with a huge network of progressive farming clients. Rabobank.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
It has been a great promotion for the past week
on the country thanks to the team at Kaiwaker. They
of course make those storm force parkers brilliant, brilliant wet
weather gear. Now one lucky listener and a eight are
about to reel in the ultimate adventure. Very shortly we
will name the winner of the fishing trip for two
(02:08):
with the Kaiwaker Ambassador Scott Barrett. But Scott, good afternoon,
thanks for joining us on the country. First question for
you before we announce the winner, how's that? How's the
most looked at calf muscle in New Zealand.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
At the moment, Jamie, the calf is tracking pretty well.
I've had two weeks of your rehab and how do
we trot around FMG last Saturday morning as a rehab run.
So it's all all going pretty well. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Hey, I'm very excited at the prospect of you locking
the scrum with Fabian Holland. Well, what a revelation that
bloke's been in tupou Vai, your previous locking partner being
at six. Because I've always thought we need a big
number six. I actually wanted you to play there, but
Razor obviously disagreed with my with my take on it,
(02:59):
but you might be rapped with the development of those
two players.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Yes, yeah, Fabian certainly had a great series with a
debut game in Dunedin and then you know, managed to
play eighty minutes of the three games within the series
and played exceptionally well. So he certainly put his hand
up and the coaches indicated that they wanted to play
two pot at six, so it certainly gives us good
(03:25):
coverage for the lightout and took those physical and like
you said, there would be a big pack of its
if you put that lock you put into six.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I feel sorry for maybe Paddy Tuey Poloto, whoever's going
to be the reserve lock because they mightn't get a
go at all because you and Fabian might do an
eighty minutes shift each. He doesn't seem to worry him.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah, they He certainly went pretty good in that in
that series, and I think there may be room for
an extra lock on the bench. And you've certainly seen
teams around the world do the six to two split
and you know, bring that big impact from the forward
pack off the bench in the second half, but the
All Blacks haven't really done that. And you know, who
(04:10):
knows it might be something that Razor brings in the
next couple of games.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Well maybe we need a bomb squad to diffuse the
South African bomb squad at Eden Park. How much you're
looking forward to that game, Scott Barrett, You.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Know that's going to be a huge game up there, Jamie.
You know, I think everyone sort of got that circle
in their calendar is probably the game of the of
the All Black season, and you know, we're certainly looking
to build to that Eden Park game with a couple
of tests and Argentina coming up, and you know it's
going to be a great rugby championship.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yep, good on you you'll be on the plane to Argentina. Hey,
just when talking about fishing, I know your brothers Bowden
and Jordie are mad keen golfers. You're not so much.
But I have seen your head a golf boy. You
can whack at three hundred meters, so you could be
a good goal for if you wanted to.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Fishing's your thing, right, yes, yes, you can't have two
hobbies like that when you've got kids. So yeah, I
chose fishing and that's that's my thing, So get the
other two love getting around the golf course.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
But yeah, how much of your fishing or love of
fishing is brought about through your old man Smiley. He's
a really keen fisherman, isn't he. And you guys live
within a what I was going to say, drive a
length of the sea almost in your case, Scott, you're
pretty handy there at coastal Taranaki.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Yes, yep. I sort of got introduced to it my granddad,
Dad's dad actually, and then you know Dad enjoys it
and older brother Cain, and you live right on the
coast and Taranaki and sort of fishing good fishing spots
right on the back doorsteps. So it was always a
keen interest growing up and he still hasn't there.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Okay, drum roll, Time to announce the winner. So here's
what they're going to get. One lucky listener and a
mate are about as I said to real in the
ultimate venture. They're going to get return flights and accommodation,
a pair of legendary storm Force Parkers, get it right,
one each, and two hundred and fifty dollars cash for
any unexpected extras, although I will be feeding and watering
(06:15):
them by the way, Scott Barrett, do you know where
the fishing trip is going to be held?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Not sure at the stage, Jamie, I think yeah, it'd
be sort of up to I guess the winner where
they want to go? And yeah, also Kyl Walker, so yeah,
who knows. I think it's within New Zealand.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Well it's your turn. You've got the name in front
of you. Who is our winner?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, and the winner is Eru Brodie from the way Gados.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well done, Eru. We will be in contact with you.
You've scored yourself a fantastic trip fishing trip somewhere around
New Zealand. Scott Barrett, thank you so much for your time.
The All Blacks are looking good, looking forward to seeing
you on that plane to Argentina and can't wait for
September six as we interfuse the Springbok bomb squad. Going
(07:02):
to be great.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Jeers, Thanks Jeremy.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
All up the garden the guy they call a dog
role All Blacks, Captain Scott Barrett, We're playing a wee
bit of jolly role for you this morning. Up next,
we've got two outspoken farmers, Mark Warren, hawks Bay Farmer
up in arms about n Z Rugby selling synthetic beanies
instead of woolen ones. And Jane Smith before the end
(07:25):
of the hour, Jen Corchran and Neville Clark. It's the
best of the Country, brought to you by Rabobank.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The best of the country with Rabobank, the bank with
local acribanking experts passionate about the future of rural communities.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Robbobank.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It is a day for a indignant outrage today on
the country. You've already heard about finance taxonomy. Don't start
me on that one. Now. There's outraged that the All
Blacks are selling acrylic or synthetic beanies rather than woolen
one and someone who is right up in arms about
this is well known hooks pay Farmer and can I
(08:06):
call you a social media star, Mark Warren, you're not
backward and coming forward expressing your views. So you and
your mate at norsewhere Tim Dean have been on this one,
and are you getting some traction within the All blacks?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Somebody said we've had more tracks near Jamie than a
D eight caterpillar and actually came out of my goode.
BK bridget Kert, who's a staunch Wolf supporter. Her dad
was a great mentor tom a andson had a parental
stud very active in the wall industry. And BK was
at the test out there in the corporate box and
(08:40):
she was horrified to be given an acrylic beanie and
she said to me, oh, we're going to straight away.
I said, no, BK, waste not want not. Farmers don't waste.
And I said, why don't you use as a fire
starter because it's full of oil and it'll be a
cracker at that So Bingo next minute was opposed to
doing the social media of a fire being lit with
a beanie and it's gone, It's exploded like a bonfire.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Now, hang on, hang on, Mike, let's go back a step.
Bridget Kirk. That name rings the bell, doesn't she the
better half of the current New Zealand Rugby chairman David Kirk.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I think you're very close to that.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Oh well, I think I'm very close to the action.
I hope she's chewing the chairman's air.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
I think this might have been, but I won't say anything.
I could be privilege of the inside conversations. But let's
just say b K. Bridget Kirk has New Zealand Wall
right in her site for giving a promo and she
deserves full credit. So she's got If anyone wants to
follow her Facebook, I call it Bridget Bridget Kirk's diary.
She's absolutely hilarious on her posts about docking her three
(09:45):
pet sheep or whatever they should be using her as
a Disney s quite farm. Anyway, we'll get back on
the back on the program, don't you.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Okay, so the beanies there are synthetic rather than woolen.
But I've got to be careful. I don't sound like
an a absolute hypocrite here myself, because we were flat
out giving away beanies at field days. I had nothing
to do with the procurement of the mark. But then
we were giving them away to farmers and they were
good beanies. But one of them said, well, why aren't
she giving away woolen beanies? And I didn't know the answer,
(10:15):
but I suspect I know the answer from the marketing department.
They're half the price of the woolen ones.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Yeah, there might be a little bit of that.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I had the same.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
I had one sent to me for rights was at
one stage writes and PG doub whatever the other week,
and I sent that back with a very fussy email
to their marketing manager and told her his pedigree in
how to do his job. Probably I had one from
probably Brokers and a synthetic one and to give I
think it was Conrad Wiltshire or pat Porters's credit. They
had a wall and one especially made for me and
(10:44):
replaced it. Then I had one from Osbrey. I think
it was Osprey about sheet measles, and to be fair,
the very good girl in there was very apologetic and
hadn't realized Tim Dean really nailed it when he wrote
to the Rugby Union. He said, you don't know what
you don't know, and he's explained it a very positive term.
(11:05):
We could be negative. But we've got some real positive
stuff going on here. And you know a lot of
people are saying absolutely all blacks abs was the all
Blacks were founded on the backs of the sheep. I mean,
players were sheep, farmers, wall brokers, sharers, stock agents, and
they're horrified to think that. You know, they've been peddled
(11:28):
synthetic products. They're not supporting the hand that feeds them.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Well, my favorite all black team of all time, Mark,
and you and I are of a similar generation, the
nineteen sixty seven All Blacks to Britain and France. They
couldn't go to Ireland because of foot and mouth outbreak
and I think of Sir Brian Lahore, Sir Pine Tree Meads. Yeah,
they'll be doing some assaults on their graves, the pair
of them, I reckon.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
I've said that already. What would Sir Colin and bjsay
And I think we're also trying to get to en
Kirpatrick and there would be a there would be another
line to get him to come in and have a
good busy comment. Anyway, we've coined the term bad Bernie
crilic beanies and you know this has got some huge potential.
(12:11):
You know, it's got legs to start the wall revolution.
Lamb and Beef have turned around, which is great having
a wall. And remember New Zealand's economy is not flash
We need that support. So you know, I just like
to say thank you, Jamie. We just want to ram
home the message that wall make the all baby's the
(12:31):
best possible and we don't want the fans to be
fleeced on the process.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Okay, you make Tim Dean at norsewere he's a smart operator.
Can he make a woolen beanie that's competitive price wise
with the synthetic ones.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
I think he's working on that and it'd be a
really good interview. I don't want to take the one
down of his sales, but look he's onto it, and
I mean his brilliant, brilliant but of marketing. Over the
weekend he had a little he must have made up
a woolen beanie, put a rugby boy over it and
had someone kick a conversion through the posts. And I said, well,
we're trying very hard to front the conversion.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
The wool absolutely fantastic. Just before I let you go,
because I know you're you're outspoken on social media, Mark Warren,
what do you think of the Center for Sustainable Finance
and their equitable, inclusive financial system that enables a resilient,
sustainable at row in New Zealand. Are you right behind that,
right behind it?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
No?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Well, then as we're right behind it's kick it hard now,
asked Jamie. This is they do not say that we're
on public radio. Bloody ridiculous what I said on the
media on this morning. These there pointers to the committee.
We need a quality farmer on there, not any old farmer.
They need to learn the trick from an old farm
dog that learn if you bite the hand that feeds you,
(13:50):
you don't get fed, and eventually you starve. And they
are biting the hand that feeds them, and eventually they'll starve.
But I mean, there's the revolution coming to get rid
of these muppets and there will be no no sypathy
to idiotic and wokeness, and I'll starve. And that that's
just tough. They've asked for it. The lucky thing is
the very good positive out of this is that they've
(14:13):
shown their hands in nine certain terms and they can't say, no,
you misunderstood us. They've been crystal clear not what they're
trying to do. And they forget how food has grown.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Mark Warren, love your work. Thanks for your time today
on the country.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Righty, Augot, Thanks very much. Come back with you the.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Best of the country with Rubbobank.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Choose the bank with one hundred and twenty years global
agribusiness experience.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Grow with Rubbobank.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
He is a North Otago farmer enjoying a lovely frosty
morning followed by a beautiful day on the farm. She's
also a former winner of the Balance Farm Environment Awards.
Her name is Jane Smith. Now, Jane, I'm ready to
be outraged by climate liberation aart rower. Are you ready
to be outraged by us being still in the Paris
(14:59):
Agreement or a call and the fact that the Commerce
Commission has dismissed Federated Farmer's complaint on net zero banking?
Where do you want to start? What outrage do you
want to begin with?
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Well, well, I guess I'm good afternoon, Jamie Paris is
our friend. I think that's a really unpalatable line, especially
coming from anyone that does support the very good Save
Our Sheet campaign. Anyone that's a gasp about pine trees,
carbon farming, that taxonomy ban cartols all of those things
are actually symptoms of the bigger problem, and the bigger
(15:31):
problem is a Paris accord. But it seems to be
sort of have this holier than their drafting gates that
you know, supposedly our sole reason that the world allows
us to sell our wears on a global stage. And
I don't recall, you know, when we signed up to this,
and when was that about ten years ago? Isn't it
send betweeny fifteen our milk and meat prices, you know,
(15:51):
magically going up? And can I remind both your listeners,
both urban and rule, that you know the Paris Agreement
cough is at least a twenty four billion dollar commitment
by twenty thirty, which is just around the corner.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
None. But hang on, Jane, hang on, we're not going
to pay that. The government's already said we're not going
to part because we've got these targets to meet. We're
clearly not going to meet them by twenty thirty, and
Emperor's New Clothes or whatever you want to call it, Basically,
there will be no punishment other than a slap over
the wrist with a wet bus.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Ticket, exactly, Jamie. So that shows you that it's not
worth a paper it's written on. But actually for MPs
to say we won't need to you know, it'll be fine,
we won't need to pay that's weird because they've already
thalked out six hundred and eighty five million dollars and
anyone could look that up and see that between twenty
twenty and twenty twenty three, so in the last few years. So,
(16:39):
but a bigger price of hey, Jamie, is as you know,
irreversible land juice change, expense of renewable energy that's costly
and short term and you know, nothing like the nineteen
thirties dams, water damps are built up the Waiteki Valley
from me here, Jamie. Power and food inflation, actually food inflation.
(17:00):
And gentlemen, if you're thinking you're paying enough the butter
at the moment, then it's very expensive. We'll fasten your
seat belt because once we add the true cost of
the Paris Accord and there so all of these supposed
technology and initiatives that additives, boluses, pills, potions plus land
uice change just to tick the Paris box.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Waiting to see well, okay.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Jane, mind you if we were to follow what Bryson
Lurie from ground Swell want and what you want and
what Winstant wants. And we pull out of the Paris
Accord slash agreement, we're going to lose three dollars per
kilogram on milk solids, so all of a sudden we
won't have to worry about the price of butter and cheese.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
It's really interesting to see that figure plucked out of
the air because there is a country, Jamie. I was
thinking about this this morning on the Sun. As a country,
we seem to be terrified of the wrong things. We
seem to be terrified of what highly subsidized, heavily populated
industrial countries think of us, more so than protecting and
promoting a natural competitive advantage, which actually is using our
(17:59):
resource so water, our point feed water, our highly productive soils,
our hill country or high country to our advantags for
grass feed protein. And actually, if we carry on this pathway,
we're going to end up like the UK and the EU.
I mean, you look at the EU. They're currently paying
this land owners not to produce food and I repeat,
not to produce food. You look at the UK before Brexit,
(18:22):
they were spending something like three point five billion pounds
a year on farmers subsidies, so that's per cow per sheep.
Now after Brexit, they're supposedly not having subsidies, but what
they're doing is paying them not per cow, per sheep,
per acre, not to produce food, not to produce food
now because you know, effectively retiring land that was previously
food producing, similar to the Helen clark land banking days.
(18:46):
What does she retire three point four million ars or
the billion treaty ESCO? And the only things that happen
with that is you decrease food production and increase the costume.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Okay, let's just move on. Commerce Commission dismissing Federated Farmer's
complaint on net zero banking. I have a lot of
sympathy for the feeds on this one, because I think
they made a good point one.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Hundred percent Jamie. And again this all feeds into this
is just another symptom of the bigger issue of Paris accord.
And again this is what I would call, I don't
know if it's a real term or not, but selective
righteousness by the banks, you know, so, and a weave
it like what we're seeing from the lights of McDonald's
and their stay, et cetera, that that you know, whollier
than there, and farmers, you sure shall do better, and
(19:27):
you shall meet these criteria and keep jumping through these
hoops and a bit like you know what we're seeing
with university students attending and you mentioned it before, Jamie,
protest training attack, the university protest training, you know, organized
by the Climate Liberation at Aroa and supposedly and I
quote you, to upskill and entice more university students to protests. Well, actually,
(19:52):
I believe their time would be better spent in economics
one oh one lecture to actually learn. Without taxpayer subsidies,
their universe were to be at least double And ironically,
those subsidies are underpinned by the very same sectors that
they're protesting against, Jamie. So you know, it's all of
this selective righteousness by protests, by banks, by all of
(20:13):
these corporate cartels that is actually going to hold our
country to ransom, Jamie, And we seem to be very
good at doing that ourselves. You know, instead of facing
this on the battlefield, we're sort of stuck in the
barracks finding one hundred ways to penalize their own country.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Jamie, I wasted a lot of time at university. I've
got to be honest, Jane, but I never ever once
went to a protest skills night event organized by the
Climate Liberation ROA group. Thank god.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Date.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
I guess old John Minto were to be more your era, Jamie.
I'm sure you were probably pucked at a pub with
him somewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
I was very much pro the Springbok tour in nineteen
eighty one, but I was probably on the wrong side
of that argument. Maybe in twenty or thirty years time,
people like you and I, Jane, if I'm still around,
we'll look back and we'll say the Climate Change Liberation
at Rower group will bang on the money. Anyhow, we'll
ponder that one. Thanks for some of your time. I
love a bit of outrage on the country.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Thanks Jmmy the Best of the Country with Rabobank. Choose
the bank with a huge network of progressive farming clients. Rabobank.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Ah, it's up to gavernor need a favor.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Welcome back to the Best of the Country. Good morning,
My name's Jamie McKay. The show's brought to you by Rabobank.
We're growing a better new Zealand together. Up next on
the Best of the Country Midweek, Jen Corkoran, Rabobank senior
analyst on record and meat prices and a much better
outlook for New Zealand avocado growers. We're going to wrap
(21:44):
up with perhaps my favorite, I think it was my
favorite interview of the week, Neville Clark, a storied and
well traveled Gisbon auctioneer, stock agent and former New Zealand
rodeo or as Winston would say, rodeo champion. They've just
been awarded a life membership of the Poverty Bay Amp
Association for all his charity work. But boys, this guy
(22:05):
got a great backstory. It's all on the Best of
the Country, brought to you by Rabobank Chalking of which
would you like to better understand the process of passing
on control and ownership of your farming business. If you do,
you need to go to Rabobank's free one day succession
workshop which will improve your understanding of business transition and succession,
(22:27):
giving you the confidence to start and progress your farm
succession plan. Very tricky subject that one. To find out more,
go to the website rabobank dot co dot nz and
make sure you're listening next week. I'm away for a
few days. Hey, Mish McKay Namesake are filling the breach
for me. He's going to be talking to Rabobank Chief
Executive Todd Charteris about their new sponsorship of Catchment Community's
(22:49):
at Rower, which acts as the collective voice for more
than two hundred catchment groups across New Zealand. Up next,
Jen Corkran Chalking Meat and Vocado.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The best of the Country with Rabobank, the bank with
local acribanking experts passionate about the future of rural communities Rabobank.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Jen Corkran is a Rabobank Research Senior analyst. She's put
out a really interesting paper on the avocado industry and
industry that's had its fair share of troubles that would
be fair to say over the past couple of years,
but looks like it's coming right. But first I want
to talk about your main area of interest, Jen at Rabobank,
and that is a red meat which is going great
(23:36):
guns at the moment. Here's a question for you, a
starter for ten. Why aren't you at the red Meat
sector conference in christ Church today?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Hi, Jamie, I would love to be down there today. Unfortunately,
I wasn't able to wrangle it, but I'll be really
interested to hear some of the feedback coming through, because,
by gosh, compared to this time twelve years ago, there's
suddenly a lot more positivity out there, isn't there in
the outlook over the next season is actually looking really
(24:04):
good for red meat. So I think there'll be a
lot of positive conversations coming out of that conference today.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Now we're going back twelve years or twelve months. I
reckon twelve months. Mind you, it's a lot better than
it was twelve years ago too as well. Gen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, it almost suddenly is. And however, cost or Lie,
I'm sure than they were twelve years ago, that's sure.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Well. Absolutely, we've been through a period of rapid on
farm inflation, especially from the COVID era onwards, and it's
really taken the shine off what our record price is. Okay,
well let's start with sheep, because the wall side of
the equations not great, but the lamb side has really
come right. And no one picked this gen twelve months ago.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No one picked up Jamie, that's right. And you know
we did a we report. I think it came out
in August last year on you know, where the sheep
met was that and where we thought it might be going.
And one of the things that we discussed in that
was that we expect there may be a swing back
to some of our traditional markets for lamb, especially which
is the European Union and the UK, because what we
(25:06):
saw coming there was a decline in their own numbers domestically,
but a real steady demand, especially in some cultural groups
and also more traditionally in the UK first sheet meet
in lamb roasts and the like, and that's what we're
seeing at the moment. We've seen, you know, over the
last you know season, so the twenty four to twenty
five export season, we've seen a berg shift and the
(25:29):
volumes going to the United Kingdom and the European Union
and the value that we're getting for that, that everage
export value, and that has really driven up the farm
gate prices in terms of you know, that upside being
passed on to our producers, which is great news, and
we expect that to continue. We expect that demand in
this next season to continue.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
We're getting record prices for beef and it doesn't look
like stopping despite the terrorff situation in the US.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
That's right, And the.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Rebuilt of that herd in the United States that's going
to drive their imports for the next couple of three
years at least, is really driving up those prices. So
we're seeing record high everage export values going into the
United States for our beef, and that's just driving you know,
our record high fun cake prices at the moment. And
(26:19):
as you say, they're not looking like that's slowing down,
and we are seeing just just that big demand based
on a lack of supply.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Are we going to benefit from Trump lumping greater tariffs
on other countries compared to US, which obviously gives us
the competitive advantage, and I'm looking at the likes of
the South American countries.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, So Brazil's been exporting a lot of beef into
the United States of the last three months in particular,
and these, you know, the volumes that they've been sending
up have surged higher than any volumes I've sent in
the same three months of any other year in recent history.
So we don't really know what's going on there, but
(26:59):
you know, the street of perhaps fifty percent tariff on
top of the twenty six per think tariff that they've
already got would really put a hold to that, Jamie,
And that would actually be an advantage for New Zealand
in terms of the import price that they're paying, not
being sort of held steady by the fact that they've
got this big supply coming from Brazil. But we'll just
have to see how that plays out, because, as we know,
(27:19):
if the tariffs a lot of there's a lot of
uncertainty still going on there.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Well, no one knows about the tariffs, including Donald Trump.
What's going to happen there? Hey, just quickly on the avocado,
I mentioned that you put out a press release late
last week. I like this one. The avocado production expected
to lift this global markets smashes and inverted commas past
the thirty billion dollar mark. No doubt that is a
(27:44):
reference to the smashed avocado on toast that you millennials
like to eat. GM Oh, how good are that?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Jamie? And I was pretty happy to help out with
this report. This is the Global Fresh Produce team that
put out this one, and it's the Global Avocada Report,
so looking at global production basically. But I was very
heavy to help with this because avocados definitely tend to
be one of my favorite side interests outside of all
things agriculture, but it was a great report to help with. Look, basically,
(28:12):
the long and short of it is that global production
of avocados are strong, and there's been a threefold growth
in avocados being produced globally over the last fifteen years.
And you know it's a popular fruit. But basically, you know,
the market value was close to thirty four billion New
Zealand dollars last year, and so this is driven by
(28:33):
Latin America and North America and Europe intendative consumption. But
the actual production of avocados is increasing, so we're going
to need lots of people to eat lots of avocados
over the next few years.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I'm keen for the avocado growers in New Zealand to
get a decent crack because A the purate prices have
been pretty poor in recent times and b you can't
always be guaranteed to crop. It's it's a fraught danger
being an avocado grower. Anyway, lovely to catch up Gin,
Always appreciate your time here on the country.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thanks Janny great Chest the.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Best of the country with Rubbobank.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Choose the Bank with one hundred and twenty years global
agribusiness experience grow with Rubbobank.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
A great thing about this job as you get to
know people all around the country, and my phone has
been running hot in recent times from some of my
contacts in the Poverty Bay area. Because a bit of
a local legend, in fact, he's a national legend. Was
awarded life membership at the Poverty Bay amp Association one
hundred and fiftieth dinner. His name is Neville Clark. We
(29:32):
go way back to the eighties when he was a
stock agent in Riversdale and we played footy together. Neville, congratulations,
you are widely regarded as so I'm told, in the
top two livestock auctioneers in the country. Well done on
the life membership, mate.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yeah, it was. It was a tremendous thrill. I'm not
often lost for words, but I was at night and yeah,
they Norm Thomas had sort of did a bit of
a preview and there's a couple of things he see.
I knew it for the like Beth and near that
unrolled it ed it comes. So now it was a
really it was a great thrill and it was it
was a huge night. It was a wonderful night for
(30:09):
the show. And of course it's a great show. It's
a wonderful show.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Well, I'm lucky enough to be coming up to it
this year. I was meant to be there in twenty
seventeen on our tripped over on a golf course and
broke my leg, so I couldn't go. And I've always
promised to go back. And the good thing about the
Poverty Bay amp show is literally more than half the
population of the region goes through the gates during the
two days of the show. It has to be the
most highly attended AMP show in the country.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, it is. And I think it just just a combination.
You know, we're an isolated you know, an isolated place,
and I mean it's a chance to come together, and
we've got a wonderful committee. There's so much goes on
at the shows, two wonderful days. We cater for the town,
we cater for the country, and I mean it's just
a feel good and it launches it launches our summer,
(30:57):
our spring and summer for us here. And you know,
it's a wonderful place to live. As I say, cad isolated,
but g we're surrounded by great people.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You are not only one of the top live stock
auctioneers and stock agents in the country with PGG rights.
And by the way, back in the day when you
and I were playing rugby in the nineteen eighties and Riversdale,
you were also the All Round New Zealand rodeo champion.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yeah, that was a period of my life. It was
a great period really, And I'd been away to Canada
and rodeoed on the circuit over there and come home,
move down to Riversdale and yeah, applied the trade and
you know, we practiced hard and rodeoed hard and it
went my way. So that was good and the win
the all around in eighty seven was wonderful. I wanted
(31:44):
again in ninety four. That was a great experience as well.
But I mean the sport of rodeo and A and
P shows, it's all about bringing people together and one
of us one of the same. Really. It's a little
form of entertainment, but it's just getting great country people together.
And yeah, whether they're a committee or a club, it
doesn't matter, but it has the same effect that brings
(32:06):
good people together.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Now I'm guessing you've been a stock agent slash auctionaire
for more than forty years. You would have had to
have been. What about the changes you've seen in the
industry in your time.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yeah, there has been a lot of changes, and I
mean at the moment, you know, land use change is
the biggest one, and we're just really starting to see it,
especially up here. Was a lot of forestry in that
but I mean it's going to have had a lot
of places when you think of you know, there's three
hundred thousand hectares have gone since twenty seventeen. I heard
Mike Peterson on the show saying that, you know, we've
(32:39):
school got the same amount of forestry, and that's technically correct,
but it's like the Labor Party say't how well they
did last six years. I mean the land that we've
lost now is land that's got sheep and beef, and
I mean it was it's good country that's moving into forestry.
It's so wrong. It always entertains me that the peace
(33:00):
in town can't believe their dear food is well. If
you keep taking the good stuff away, of course it's
going to get bloody deer, you know. I mean, as
they get on a plane and bug all overseas, you know,
thinking they're saving the planet. We're at home here trying
to feed the world. I mean, it's not rocket science.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
No, it is not rocket science. And you guys have
suffered more from carbon than most regions. I want to
talk to you about your region and a really positive
livestock story. The ball selling season. You are an expert
in selling deer and you also do the big bull sales,
and I think you were the auctioneer with the hammer
in your hand when that at black Angus ball went
(33:38):
for one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars, a new
record from the Tangy House stud.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah, and it was what a couple of days we had.
We broke the record the day before at crickerd Angus
at one hundred and we got Snackaball through there at
one hundred and fifty six, which eclipped the record that
stood since ninety two with Adahu Legacy at one fifty five.
Got that one over on Sunday afternoon at Cricklewood the
next day. You know, the stars aligned again and what
(34:06):
a wonderful salette was there was Once again, it was
just a wonderful atmosphere. The ball was lot sixteen at
Tangy Hore sale. Got off pretty good and then gee,
when we got going there, she was a last man standing.
It's a great game if you win. And you know,
all credit to Tangy, how they've done a lot of
work on getting getting the right for the cattle, the
(34:26):
rights for the numbers, and the perfect storm that arrived
and Keith, Keith Higgins from Oregon stud on his own,
you know, fronted up and changed a record that's been
standing since nineteen ninety two. So all powder to Keith
and certainly all power of Tangy.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Here.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Have you ever known the beef market to be more Boyans?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
No? No, I haven't, And I mean it's on the
back of a few things. Landyates changed the cow herd
in Americas that are seventy three year low. I mean,
there's a lot of things that a light that you know,
where the dots are lining up, and they say, we're
going to see it too and have a wonderful spring
here in the north. We're wet, we're wet now, and
(35:04):
a little bit of heat turns up and we'll have
a lot of grass and we'll see just how how
much land use change and how much stocks you know,
disappeared out of the system when these boys start to
restock in August, September, October.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
There's a wicked irony, isn't that? Record prices for beef
lambs very very good, and yet we're growing pine trees
where we should be growing food. You've sold a black
angus ball for one hundred and sixty one grand, But
you also are the master. And I know this because
I've been told from people in high places when it
comes to deer auctions, apparently the top deer farmers won't
(35:37):
go to auction unless you do it. I'm assuming that
you've probably sold a deer or a stag for more
than that.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yeah, I had the joys selling a stag at Todd
Crowley's in Hamilton for three hundred and ninety thousand, and
he was an amazing animal.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
It was.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
It was a sight to behold. I know a lot
of people don't like those big, multi headed deer, the
old traditionalists, but that's fine, each to his own. But
it was a wonderful stag and it was a wonderful
o casion we had. We had a couple of players
in the room, we had one on the phone, and
it was pretty exciting. And it's still it's still a record,
and the stag went on to do wonderful things and
(36:15):
we've seen this progeny coming out now and yeah, it
was it was a it was a great day.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Now Mile Mack, Graham Williams and your Neck of the
Woods been chewing my big time. And he says he's
not content with you being a life member of the
poverty by a m P association level, Clark, he wants
you to get a night on it. I know where
Graham gets carried away on occasions, but he says, for
all the work you've done over the years for charity,
especially when it comes to auctioning, you never say.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
No, no, I really am now, I just you know,
if we all do a little, then something they have
to do so much. So no, it's and it's still
going on. We've got the Calcutter at Tolliger Bay on
Saturday night for the King of the Coast Golf, so
that'll that'll be a bit of fun. And yeah, we
got the charity the Big West pic a charity dinner
(37:02):
for a helicopter here and stem that's a great occasion.
And yeah, some of these things, it's it's good. It's
it's just what makes the community work. And I'm happy,
happy to give it be one way I'm going to
get to heaven.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
I guess Neville Clark. I'm honored to know you, and
I'm looking forward to catching up with you again and
renewing our acquaintance at the Poverty by A and P
Show in October. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Yeah, it'll be a great occasion. We're going to we're
going to a committee meeting this afternoon with you, with
the entertainment crowd. So we're going to go all out
to make it the best ever. And yeah, so there'll
be some great surprises and we'll probably relive the Shepherd's Challenge,
you know, just for another time. It's been a great
event at the show and we've had a year or
two off from that. But yeah, it's real hoot, the
(37:47):
Shepherd's Challenge, and yeah, we're just going to do lots
of things and just make it. Yeah, one fiftieth to remember.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
Hey Clarky, great to catch up. Congratulations, We'll see you
on October.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Yep, No, looking forward to Jamie, and yeah, we'll have
a bear talking about old.

Speaker 6 (00:30):
Gooday and good morning, New Zealand's I'm Jamie McKay. This
is the best of the country brought to you by Rabobank.
We're growing a better New Zealand together. Kicking it off
with some great country music from Jelly Roll, which is
apt because we're going to kick off the best of
the country today with dog Roll. You may know him
better as Scott Barrett All Blacks Captain. We talked fishing
(00:52):
and footy earlier in the week with the son of
a Taranaki airy farmer. Mark Warren is an outspoken Hawks
Bay farmer who's up in arms about New Zealand selling
a synthetic beanies instead of woolen ones. Jane Smith, north
Otago farmer caught up with her midweek. We shared some
outrage over Paris protests and net zero banking. We're going
(01:16):
to talk to Jen Corchran about record meat prices. She's
from Rabobank, by the way, and avocado or Avocados, and
got a great interview to finish the show, Neville Clark.
More about that later. It's the Best of the Country
brought to you by Rabobank.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Please don't me.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Garman the Best of the Country with Rabobank. Choose the
bank with a huge network of progressive farming clients. Rabobank.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
It has been a great promotion for the past week
on the country thanks to the team at Kaiwaker. They
of course make those storm force parkers brilliant, brilliant wet
weather gear. Now one lucky listener and a eight are
about to reel in the ultimate adventure. Very shortly we
will name the winner of the fishing trip for two
(02:08):
with the Kaiwaker Ambassador Scott Barrett. But Scott, good afternoon,
thanks for joining us on the country. First question for
you before we announce the winner, how's that? How's the
most looked at calf muscle in New Zealand.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
At the moment, Jamie, the calf is tracking pretty well.
I've had two weeks of your rehab and how do
we trot around FMG last Saturday morning as a rehab run.
So it's all all going pretty well. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Hey, I'm very excited at the prospect of you locking
the scrum with Fabian Holland. Well, what a revelation that
bloke's been in tupou Vai, your previous locking partner being
at six. Because I've always thought we need a big
number six. I actually wanted you to play there, but
Razor obviously disagreed with my with my take on it,
(02:59):
but you might be rapped with the development of those
two players.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Yes, yeah, Fabian certainly had a great series with a
debut game in Dunedin and then you know, managed to
play eighty minutes of the three games within the series
and played exceptionally well. So he certainly put his hand
up and the coaches indicated that they wanted to play
two pot at six, so it certainly gives us good
(03:25):
coverage for the lightout and took those physical and like
you said, there would be a big pack of its
if you put that lock you put into six.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I feel sorry for maybe Paddy Tuey Poloto, whoever's going
to be the reserve lock because they mightn't get a
go at all because you and Fabian might do an
eighty minutes shift each. He doesn't seem to worry him.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah, they He certainly went pretty good in that in
that series, and I think there may be room for
an extra lock on the bench. And you've certainly seen
teams around the world do the six to two split
and you know, bring that big impact from the forward
pack off the bench in the second half, but the
All Blacks haven't really done that. And you know, who
(04:10):
knows it might be something that Razor brings in the
next couple of games.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Well maybe we need a bomb squad to diffuse the
South African bomb squad at Eden Park. How much you're
looking forward to that game, Scott Barrett, You.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Know that's going to be a huge game up there, Jamie.
You know, I think everyone sort of got that circle
in their calendar is probably the game of the of
the All Black season, and you know, we're certainly looking
to build to that Eden Park game with a couple
of tests and Argentina coming up, and you know it's
going to be a great rugby championship.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yep, good on you you'll be on the plane to Argentina. Hey,
just when talking about fishing, I know your brothers Bowden
and Jordie are mad keen golfers. You're not so much.
But I have seen your head a golf boy. You
can whack at three hundred meters, so you could be
a good goal for if you wanted to.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Fishing's your thing, right, yes, yes, you can't have two
hobbies like that when you've got kids. So yeah, I
chose fishing and that's that's my thing, So get the
other two love getting around the golf course.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
But yeah, how much of your fishing or love of
fishing is brought about through your old man Smiley. He's
a really keen fisherman, isn't he. And you guys live
within a what I was going to say, drive a
length of the sea almost in your case, Scott, you're
pretty handy there at coastal Taranaki.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Yes, yep. I sort of got introduced to it my granddad,
Dad's dad actually, and then you know Dad enjoys it
and older brother Cain, and you live right on the
coast and Taranaki and sort of fishing good fishing spots
right on the back doorsteps. So it was always a
keen interest growing up and he still hasn't there.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Okay, drum roll, Time to announce the winner. So here's
what they're going to get. One lucky listener and a
mate are about as I said to real in the
ultimate venture. They're going to get return flights and accommodation,
a pair of legendary storm Force Parkers, get it right,
one each, and two hundred and fifty dollars cash for
any unexpected extras, although I will be feeding and watering
(06:15):
them by the way, Scott Barrett, do you know where
the fishing trip is going to be held?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Not sure at the stage, Jamie, I think yeah, it'd
be sort of up to I guess the winner where
they want to go? And yeah, also Kyl Walker, so yeah,
who knows. I think it's within New Zealand.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Well it's your turn. You've got the name in front
of you. Who is our winner?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, and the winner is Eru Brodie from the way Gados.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well done, Eru. We will be in contact with you.
You've scored yourself a fantastic trip fishing trip somewhere around
New Zealand. Scott Barrett, thank you so much for your time.
The All Blacks are looking good, looking forward to seeing
you on that plane to Argentina and can't wait for
September six as we interfuse the Springbok bomb squad. Going
(07:02):
to be great.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Jeers, Thanks Jeremy.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
All up the garden the guy they call a dog
role All Blacks, Captain Scott Barrett, We're playing a wee
bit of jolly role for you this morning. Up next,
we've got two outspoken farmers, Mark Warren, hawks Bay Farmer
up in arms about n Z Rugby selling synthetic beanies
instead of woolen ones. And Jane Smith before the end
(07:25):
of the hour, Jen Corchran and Neville Clark. It's the
best of the Country, brought to you by Rabobank.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The best of the country with Rabobank, the bank with
local acribanking experts passionate about the future of rural communities.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Robbobank.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It is a day for a indignant outrage today on
the country. You've already heard about finance taxonomy. Don't start
me on that one. Now. There's outraged that the All
Blacks are selling acrylic or synthetic beanies rather than woolen
one and someone who is right up in arms about
this is well known hooks pay Farmer and can I
(08:06):
call you a social media star, Mark Warren, you're not
backward and coming forward expressing your views. So you and
your mate at norsewhere Tim Dean have been on this one,
and are you getting some traction within the All blacks?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Somebody said we've had more tracks near Jamie than a
D eight caterpillar and actually came out of my goode.
BK bridget Kert, who's a staunch Wolf supporter. Her dad
was a great mentor tom a andson had a parental
stud very active in the wall industry. And BK was
at the test out there in the corporate box and
(08:40):
she was horrified to be given an acrylic beanie and
she said to me, oh, we're going to straight away.
I said, no, BK, waste not want not. Farmers don't waste.
And I said, why don't you use as a fire
starter because it's full of oil and it'll be a
cracker at that So Bingo next minute was opposed to
doing the social media of a fire being lit with
a beanie and it's gone, It's exploded like a bonfire.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Now, hang on, hang on, Mike, let's go back a step.
Bridget Kirk. That name rings the bell, doesn't she the
better half of the current New Zealand Rugby chairman David Kirk.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I think you're very close to that.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Oh well, I think I'm very close to the action.
I hope she's chewing the chairman's air.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
I think this might have been, but I won't say anything.
I could be privilege of the inside conversations. But let's
just say b K. Bridget Kirk has New Zealand Wall
right in her site for giving a promo and she
deserves full credit. So she's got If anyone wants to
follow her Facebook, I call it Bridget Bridget Kirk's diary.
She's absolutely hilarious on her posts about docking her three
(09:45):
pet sheep or whatever they should be using her as
a Disney s quite farm. Anyway, we'll get back on
the back on the program, don't you.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Okay, so the beanies there are synthetic rather than woolen.
But I've got to be careful. I don't sound like
an a absolute hypocrite here myself, because we were flat
out giving away beanies at field days. I had nothing
to do with the procurement of the mark. But then
we were giving them away to farmers and they were
good beanies. But one of them said, well, why aren't
she giving away woolen beanies? And I didn't know the answer,
(10:15):
but I suspect I know the answer from the marketing department.
They're half the price of the woolen ones.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Yeah, there might be a little bit of that.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I had the same.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
I had one sent to me for rights was at
one stage writes and PG doub whatever the other week,
and I sent that back with a very fussy email
to their marketing manager and told her his pedigree in
how to do his job. Probably I had one from
probably Brokers and a synthetic one and to give I
think it was Conrad Wiltshire or pat Porters's credit. They
had a wall and one especially made for me and
(10:44):
replaced it. Then I had one from Osbrey. I think
it was Osprey about sheet measles, and to be fair,
the very good girl in there was very apologetic and
hadn't realized Tim Dean really nailed it when he wrote
to the Rugby Union. He said, you don't know what
you don't know, and he's explained it a very positive term.
(11:05):
We could be negative. But we've got some real positive
stuff going on here. And you know a lot of
people are saying absolutely all blacks abs was the all
Blacks were founded on the backs of the sheep. I mean,
players were sheep, farmers, wall brokers, sharers, stock agents, and
they're horrified to think that. You know, they've been peddled
(11:28):
synthetic products. They're not supporting the hand that feeds them.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Well, my favorite all black team of all time, Mark,
and you and I are of a similar generation, the
nineteen sixty seven All Blacks to Britain and France. They
couldn't go to Ireland because of foot and mouth outbreak
and I think of Sir Brian Lahore, Sir Pine Tree Meads. Yeah,
they'll be doing some assaults on their graves, the pair
of them, I reckon.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
I've said that already. What would Sir Colin and bjsay
And I think we're also trying to get to en
Kirpatrick and there would be a there would be another
line to get him to come in and have a
good busy comment. Anyway, we've coined the term bad Bernie
crilic beanies and you know this has got some huge potential.
(12:11):
You know, it's got legs to start the wall revolution.
Lamb and Beef have turned around, which is great having
a wall. And remember New Zealand's economy is not flash
We need that support. So you know, I just like
to say thank you, Jamie. We just want to ram
home the message that wall make the all baby's the
(12:31):
best possible and we don't want the fans to be
fleeced on the process.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Okay, you make Tim Dean at norsewere he's a smart operator.
Can he make a woolen beanie that's competitive price wise
with the synthetic ones.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
I think he's working on that and it'd be a
really good interview. I don't want to take the one
down of his sales, but look he's onto it, and
I mean his brilliant, brilliant but of marketing. Over the
weekend he had a little he must have made up
a woolen beanie, put a rugby boy over it and
had someone kick a conversion through the posts. And I said, well,
we're trying very hard to front the conversion.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
The wool absolutely fantastic. Just before I let you go,
because I know you're you're outspoken on social media, Mark Warren,
what do you think of the Center for Sustainable Finance
and their equitable, inclusive financial system that enables a resilient,
sustainable at row in New Zealand. Are you right behind that,
right behind it?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
No?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Well, then as we're right behind it's kick it hard now,
asked Jamie. This is they do not say that we're
on public radio. Bloody ridiculous what I said on the
media on this morning. These there pointers to the committee.
We need a quality farmer on there, not any old farmer.
They need to learn the trick from an old farm
dog that learn if you bite the hand that feeds you,
(13:50):
you don't get fed, and eventually you starve. And they
are biting the hand that feeds them, and eventually they'll starve.
But I mean, there's the revolution coming to get rid
of these muppets and there will be no no sypathy
to idiotic and wokeness, and I'll starve. And that that's
just tough. They've asked for it. The lucky thing is
the very good positive out of this is that they've
(14:13):
shown their hands in nine certain terms and they can't say, no,
you misunderstood us. They've been crystal clear not what they're
trying to do. And they forget how food has grown.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Mark Warren, love your work. Thanks for your time today
on the country.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Righty, Augot, Thanks very much. Come back with you the.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Best of the country with Rubbobank.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Choose the bank with one hundred and twenty years global
agribusiness experience.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Grow with Rubbobank.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
He is a North Otago farmer enjoying a lovely frosty
morning followed by a beautiful day on the farm. She's
also a former winner of the Balance Farm Environment Awards.
Her name is Jane Smith. Now, Jane, I'm ready to
be outraged by climate liberation aart rower. Are you ready
to be outraged by us being still in the Paris
(14:59):
Agreement or a call and the fact that the Commerce
Commission has dismissed Federated Farmer's complaint on net zero banking?
Where do you want to start? What outrage do you
want to begin with?
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Well, well, I guess I'm good afternoon, Jamie Paris is
our friend. I think that's a really unpalatable line, especially
coming from anyone that does support the very good Save
Our Sheet campaign. Anyone that's a gasp about pine trees,
carbon farming, that taxonomy ban cartols all of those things
are actually symptoms of the bigger problem, and the bigger
(15:31):
problem is a Paris accord. But it seems to be
sort of have this holier than their drafting gates that
you know, supposedly our sole reason that the world allows
us to sell our wears on a global stage. And
I don't recall, you know, when we signed up to this,
and when was that about ten years ago? Isn't it
send betweeny fifteen our milk and meat prices, you know,
(15:51):
magically going up? And can I remind both your listeners,
both urban and rule, that you know the Paris Agreement
cough is at least a twenty four billion dollar commitment
by twenty thirty, which is just around the corner.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
None. But hang on, Jane, hang on, we're not going
to pay that. The government's already said we're not going
to part because we've got these targets to meet. We're
clearly not going to meet them by twenty thirty, and
Emperor's New Clothes or whatever you want to call it, Basically,
there will be no punishment other than a slap over
the wrist with a wet bus.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Ticket, exactly, Jamie. So that shows you that it's not
worth a paper it's written on. But actually for MPs
to say we won't need to you know, it'll be fine,
we won't need to pay that's weird because they've already
thalked out six hundred and eighty five million dollars and
anyone could look that up and see that between twenty
twenty and twenty twenty three, so in the last few years. So,
(16:39):
but a bigger price of hey, Jamie, is as you know,
irreversible land juice change, expense of renewable energy that's costly
and short term and you know, nothing like the nineteen
thirties dams, water damps are built up the Waiteki Valley
from me here, Jamie. Power and food inflation, actually food inflation.
(17:00):
And gentlemen, if you're thinking you're paying enough the butter
at the moment, then it's very expensive. We'll fasten your
seat belt because once we add the true cost of
the Paris Accord and there so all of these supposed
technology and initiatives that additives, boluses, pills, potions plus land
uice change just to tick the Paris box.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Waiting to see well, okay.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Jane, mind you if we were to follow what Bryson
Lurie from ground Swell want and what you want and
what Winstant wants. And we pull out of the Paris
Accord slash agreement, we're going to lose three dollars per
kilogram on milk solids, so all of a sudden we
won't have to worry about the price of butter and cheese.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
It's really interesting to see that figure plucked out of
the air because there is a country, Jamie. I was
thinking about this this morning on the Sun. As a country,
we seem to be terrified of the wrong things. We
seem to be terrified of what highly subsidized, heavily populated
industrial countries think of us, more so than protecting and
promoting a natural competitive advantage, which actually is using our
(17:59):
resource so water, our point feed water, our highly productive soils,
our hill country or high country to our advantags for
grass feed protein. And actually, if we carry on this pathway,
we're going to end up like the UK and the EU.
I mean, you look at the EU. They're currently paying
this land owners not to produce food and I repeat,
not to produce food. You look at the UK before Brexit,
(18:22):
they were spending something like three point five billion pounds
a year on farmers subsidies, so that's per cow per sheep.
Now after Brexit, they're supposedly not having subsidies, but what
they're doing is paying them not per cow, per sheep,
per acre, not to produce food, not to produce food
now because you know, effectively retiring land that was previously
food producing, similar to the Helen clark land banking days.
(18:46):
What does she retire three point four million ars or
the billion treaty ESCO? And the only things that happen
with that is you decrease food production and increase the costume.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Okay, let's just move on. Commerce Commission dismissing Federated Farmer's
complaint on net zero banking. I have a lot of
sympathy for the feeds on this one, because I think
they made a good point one.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Hundred percent Jamie. And again this all feeds into this
is just another symptom of the bigger issue of Paris accord.
And again this is what I would call, I don't
know if it's a real term or not, but selective
righteousness by the banks, you know, so, and a weave
it like what we're seeing from the lights of McDonald's
and their stay, et cetera, that that you know, whollier
than there, and farmers, you sure shall do better, and
(19:27):
you shall meet these criteria and keep jumping through these
hoops and a bit like you know what we're seeing
with university students attending and you mentioned it before, Jamie,
protest training attack, the university protest training, you know, organized
by the Climate Liberation at Aroa and supposedly and I
quote you, to upskill and entice more university students to protests. Well, actually,
(19:52):
I believe their time would be better spent in economics
one oh one lecture to actually learn. Without taxpayer subsidies,
their universe were to be at least double And ironically,
those subsidies are underpinned by the very same sectors that
they're protesting against, Jamie. So you know, it's all of
this selective righteousness by protests, by banks, by all of
(20:13):
these corporate cartels that is actually going to hold our
country to ransom, Jamie, And we seem to be very
good at doing that ourselves. You know, instead of facing
this on the battlefield, we're sort of stuck in the
barracks finding one hundred ways to penalize their own country.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Jamie, I wasted a lot of time at university. I've
got to be honest, Jane, but I never ever once
went to a protest skills night event organized by the
Climate Liberation ROA group. Thank god.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Date.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
I guess old John Minto were to be more your era, Jamie.
I'm sure you were probably pucked at a pub with
him somewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
I was very much pro the Springbok tour in nineteen
eighty one, but I was probably on the wrong side
of that argument. Maybe in twenty or thirty years time,
people like you and I, Jane, if I'm still around,
we'll look back and we'll say the Climate Change Liberation
at Rower group will bang on the money. Anyhow, we'll
ponder that one. Thanks for some of your time. I
love a bit of outrage on the country.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Thanks Jmmy the Best of the Country with Rabobank. Choose
the bank with a huge network of progressive farming clients. Rabobank.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Ah, it's up to gavernor need a favor.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Welcome back to the Best of the Country. Good morning,
My name's Jamie McKay. The show's brought to you by Rabobank.
We're growing a better new Zealand together. Up next on
the Best of the Country Midweek, Jen Corkoran, Rabobank senior
analyst on record and meat prices and a much better
outlook for New Zealand avocado growers. We're going to wrap
(21:44):
up with perhaps my favorite, I think it was my
favorite interview of the week, Neville Clark, a storied and
well traveled Gisbon auctioneer, stock agent and former New Zealand
rodeo or as Winston would say, rodeo champion. They've just
been awarded a life membership of the Poverty Bay Amp
Association for all his charity work. But boys, this guy
(22:05):
got a great backstory. It's all on the Best of
the Country, brought to you by Rabobank Chalking of which
would you like to better understand the process of passing
on control and ownership of your farming business. If you do,
you need to go to Rabobank's free one day succession
workshop which will improve your understanding of business transition and succession,
(22:27):
giving you the confidence to start and progress your farm
succession plan. Very tricky subject that one. To find out more,
go to the website rabobank dot co dot nz and
make sure you're listening next week. I'm away for a
few days. Hey, Mish McKay Namesake are filling the breach
for me. He's going to be talking to Rabobank Chief
Executive Todd Charteris about their new sponsorship of Catchment Community's
(22:49):
at Rower, which acts as the collective voice for more
than two hundred catchment groups across New Zealand. Up next,
Jen Corkran Chalking Meat and Vocado.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The best of the Country with Rabobank, the bank with
local acribanking experts passionate about the future of rural communities Rabobank.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Jen Corkran is a Rabobank Research Senior analyst. She's put
out a really interesting paper on the avocado industry and
industry that's had its fair share of troubles that would
be fair to say over the past couple of years,
but looks like it's coming right. But first I want
to talk about your main area of interest, Jen at Rabobank,
and that is a red meat which is going great
(23:36):
guns at the moment. Here's a question for you, a
starter for ten. Why aren't you at the red Meat
sector conference in christ Church today?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Hi, Jamie, I would love to be down there today. Unfortunately,
I wasn't able to wrangle it, but I'll be really
interested to hear some of the feedback coming through, because,
by gosh, compared to this time twelve years ago, there's
suddenly a lot more positivity out there, isn't there in
the outlook over the next season is actually looking really
(24:04):
good for red meat. So I think there'll be a
lot of positive conversations coming out of that conference today.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Now we're going back twelve years or twelve months. I
reckon twelve months. Mind you, it's a lot better than
it was twelve years ago too as well. Gen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, it almost suddenly is. And however, cost or Lie,
I'm sure than they were twelve years ago, that's sure.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Well. Absolutely, we've been through a period of rapid on
farm inflation, especially from the COVID era onwards, and it's
really taken the shine off what our record price is. Okay,
well let's start with sheep, because the wall side of
the equations not great, but the lamb side has really
come right. And no one picked this gen twelve months ago.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No one picked up Jamie, that's right. And you know
we did a we report. I think it came out
in August last year on you know, where the sheep
met was that and where we thought it might be going.
And one of the things that we discussed in that
was that we expect there may be a swing back
to some of our traditional markets for lamb, especially which
is the European Union and the UK, because what we
(25:06):
saw coming there was a decline in their own numbers domestically,
but a real steady demand, especially in some cultural groups
and also more traditionally in the UK first sheet meet
in lamb roasts and the like, and that's what we're
seeing at the moment. We've seen, you know, over the
last you know season, so the twenty four to twenty
five export season, we've seen a berg shift and the
(25:29):
volumes going to the United Kingdom and the European Union
and the value that we're getting for that, that everage
export value, and that has really driven up the farm
gate prices in terms of you know, that upside being
passed on to our producers, which is great news, and
we expect that to continue. We expect that demand in
this next season to continue.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
We're getting record prices for beef and it doesn't look
like stopping despite the terrorff situation in the US.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
That's right, And the.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Rebuilt of that herd in the United States that's going
to drive their imports for the next couple of three
years at least, is really driving up those prices. So
we're seeing record high everage export values going into the
United States for our beef, and that's just driving you know,
our record high fun cake prices at the moment. And
(26:19):
as you say, they're not looking like that's slowing down,
and we are seeing just just that big demand based
on a lack of supply.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Are we going to benefit from Trump lumping greater tariffs
on other countries compared to US, which obviously gives us
the competitive advantage, and I'm looking at the likes of
the South American countries.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, So Brazil's been exporting a lot of beef into
the United States of the last three months in particular,
and these, you know, the volumes that they've been sending
up have surged higher than any volumes I've sent in
the same three months of any other year in recent history.
So we don't really know what's going on there, but
(26:59):
you know, the street of perhaps fifty percent tariff on
top of the twenty six per think tariff that they've
already got would really put a hold to that, Jamie,
And that would actually be an advantage for New Zealand
in terms of the import price that they're paying, not
being sort of held steady by the fact that they've
got this big supply coming from Brazil. But we'll just
have to see how that plays out, because, as we know,
(27:19):
if the tariffs a lot of there's a lot of
uncertainty still going on there.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Well, no one knows about the tariffs, including Donald Trump.
What's going to happen there? Hey, just quickly on the avocado,
I mentioned that you put out a press release late
last week. I like this one. The avocado production expected
to lift this global markets smashes and inverted commas past
the thirty billion dollar mark. No doubt that is a
(27:44):
reference to the smashed avocado on toast that you millennials
like to eat. GM Oh, how good are that?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Jamie? And I was pretty happy to help out with
this report. This is the Global Fresh Produce team that
put out this one, and it's the Global Avocada Report,
so looking at global production basically. But I was very
heavy to help with this because avocados definitely tend to
be one of my favorite side interests outside of all
things agriculture, but it was a great report to help with. Look, basically,
(28:12):
the long and short of it is that global production
of avocados are strong, and there's been a threefold growth
in avocados being produced globally over the last fifteen years.
And you know it's a popular fruit. But basically, you know,
the market value was close to thirty four billion New
Zealand dollars last year, and so this is driven by
(28:33):
Latin America and North America and Europe intendative consumption. But
the actual production of avocados is increasing, so we're going
to need lots of people to eat lots of avocados
over the next few years.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I'm keen for the avocado growers in New Zealand to
get a decent crack because A the purate prices have
been pretty poor in recent times and b you can't
always be guaranteed to crop. It's it's a fraught danger
being an avocado grower. Anyway, lovely to catch up Gin,
Always appreciate your time here on the country.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thanks Janny great Chest the.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Best of the country with Rubbobank.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Choose the Bank with one hundred and twenty years global
agribusiness experience grow with Rubbobank.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
A great thing about this job as you get to
know people all around the country, and my phone has
been running hot in recent times from some of my
contacts in the Poverty Bay area. Because a bit of
a local legend, in fact, he's a national legend. Was
awarded life membership at the Poverty Bay amp Association one
hundred and fiftieth dinner. His name is Neville Clark. We
(29:32):
go way back to the eighties when he was a
stock agent in Riversdale and we played footy together. Neville, congratulations,
you are widely regarded as so I'm told, in the
top two livestock auctioneers in the country. Well done on
the life membership, mate.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yeah, it was. It was a tremendous thrill. I'm not
often lost for words, but I was at night and yeah,
they Norm Thomas had sort of did a bit of
a preview and there's a couple of things he see.
I knew it for the like Beth and near that
unrolled it ed it comes. So now it was a
really it was a great thrill and it was it
was a huge night. It was a wonderful night for
(30:09):
the show. And of course it's a great show. It's
a wonderful show.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Well, I'm lucky enough to be coming up to it
this year. I was meant to be there in twenty
seventeen on our tripped over on a golf course and
broke my leg, so I couldn't go. And I've always
promised to go back. And the good thing about the
Poverty Bay amp show is literally more than half the
population of the region goes through the gates during the
two days of the show. It has to be the
most highly attended AMP show in the country.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, it is. And I think it just just a combination.
You know, we're an isolated you know, an isolated place,
and I mean it's a chance to come together, and
we've got a wonderful committee. There's so much goes on
at the shows, two wonderful days. We cater for the town,
we cater for the country, and I mean it's just
a feel good and it launches it launches our summer,
(30:57):
our spring and summer for us here. And you know,
it's a wonderful place to live. As I say, cad isolated,
but g we're surrounded by great people.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You are not only one of the top live stock
auctioneers and stock agents in the country with PGG rights.
And by the way, back in the day when you
and I were playing rugby in the nineteen eighties and Riversdale,
you were also the All Round New Zealand rodeo champion.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yeah, that was a period of my life. It was
a great period really, And I'd been away to Canada
and rodeoed on the circuit over there and come home,
move down to Riversdale and yeah, applied the trade and
you know, we practiced hard and rodeoed hard and it
went my way. So that was good and the win
the all around in eighty seven was wonderful. I wanted
(31:44):
again in ninety four. That was a great experience as well.
But I mean the sport of rodeo and A and
P shows, it's all about bringing people together and one
of us one of the same. Really. It's a little
form of entertainment, but it's just getting great country people together.
And yeah, whether they're a committee or a club, it
doesn't matter, but it has the same effect that brings
(32:06):
good people together.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Now I'm guessing you've been a stock agent slash auctionaire
for more than forty years. You would have had to
have been. What about the changes you've seen in the
industry in your time.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yeah, there has been a lot of changes, and I
mean at the moment, you know, land use change is
the biggest one, and we're just really starting to see it,
especially up here. Was a lot of forestry in that
but I mean it's going to have had a lot
of places when you think of you know, there's three
hundred thousand hectares have gone since twenty seventeen. I heard
Mike Peterson on the show saying that, you know, we've
(32:39):
school got the same amount of forestry, and that's technically correct,
but it's like the Labor Party say't how well they
did last six years. I mean the land that we've
lost now is land that's got sheep and beef, and
I mean it was it's good country that's moving into forestry.
It's so wrong. It always entertains me that the peace
(33:00):
in town can't believe their dear food is well. If
you keep taking the good stuff away, of course it's
going to get bloody deer, you know. I mean, as
they get on a plane and bug all overseas, you know,
thinking they're saving the planet. We're at home here trying
to feed the world. I mean, it's not rocket science.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
No, it is not rocket science. And you guys have
suffered more from carbon than most regions. I want to
talk to you about your region and a really positive
livestock story. The ball selling season. You are an expert
in selling deer and you also do the big bull sales,
and I think you were the auctioneer with the hammer
in your hand when that at black Angus ball went
(33:38):
for one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars, a new
record from the Tangy House stud.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah, and it was what a couple of days we had.
We broke the record the day before at crickerd Angus
at one hundred and we got Snackaball through there at
one hundred and fifty six, which eclipped the record that
stood since ninety two with Adahu Legacy at one fifty five.
Got that one over on Sunday afternoon at Cricklewood the
next day. You know, the stars aligned again and what
(34:06):
a wonderful salette was there was Once again, it was
just a wonderful atmosphere. The ball was lot sixteen at
Tangy Hore sale. Got off pretty good and then gee,
when we got going there, she was a last man standing.
It's a great game if you win. And you know,
all credit to Tangy, how they've done a lot of
work on getting getting the right for the cattle, the
(34:26):
rights for the numbers, and the perfect storm that arrived
and Keith, Keith Higgins from Oregon stud on his own,
you know, fronted up and changed a record that's been
standing since nineteen ninety two. So all powder to Keith
and certainly all power of Tangy.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Here.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Have you ever known the beef market to be more Boyans?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
No? No, I haven't, And I mean it's on the
back of a few things. Landyates changed the cow herd
in Americas that are seventy three year low. I mean,
there's a lot of things that a light that you know,
where the dots are lining up, and they say, we're
going to see it too and have a wonderful spring
here in the north. We're wet, we're wet now, and
(35:04):
a little bit of heat turns up and we'll have
a lot of grass and we'll see just how how
much land use change and how much stocks you know,
disappeared out of the system when these boys start to
restock in August, September, October.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
There's a wicked irony, isn't that? Record prices for beef
lambs very very good, and yet we're growing pine trees
where we should be growing food. You've sold a black
angus ball for one hundred and sixty one grand, But
you also are the master. And I know this because
I've been told from people in high places when it
comes to deer auctions, apparently the top deer farmers won't
(35:37):
go to auction unless you do it. I'm assuming that
you've probably sold a deer or a stag for more
than that.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yeah, I had the joys selling a stag at Todd
Crowley's in Hamilton for three hundred and ninety thousand, and
he was an amazing animal.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
It was.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
It was a sight to behold. I know a lot
of people don't like those big, multi headed deer, the
old traditionalists, but that's fine, each to his own. But
it was a wonderful stag and it was a wonderful
o casion we had. We had a couple of players
in the room, we had one on the phone, and
it was pretty exciting. And it's still it's still a record,
and the stag went on to do wonderful things and
(36:15):
we've seen this progeny coming out now and yeah, it
was it was a it was a great day.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Now Mile Mack, Graham Williams and your Neck of the
Woods been chewing my big time. And he says he's
not content with you being a life member of the
poverty by a m P association level, Clark, he wants
you to get a night on it. I know where
Graham gets carried away on occasions, but he says, for
all the work you've done over the years for charity,
especially when it comes to auctioning, you never say.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
No, no, I really am now, I just you know,
if we all do a little, then something they have
to do so much. So no, it's and it's still
going on. We've got the Calcutter at Tolliger Bay on
Saturday night for the King of the Coast Golf, so
that'll that'll be a bit of fun. And yeah, we
got the charity the Big West pic a charity dinner
(37:02):
for a helicopter here and stem that's a great occasion.
And yeah, some of these things, it's it's good. It's
it's just what makes the community work. And I'm happy,
happy to give it be one way I'm going to
get to heaven.

event at the show and we've had a year or
two off from that. But yeah, it's real hoot, the
(37:47):

of things and just make it. Yeah, one fiftieth to remember.
