Speaker 1 (00:07):
I came in here to have a good time with
none then particular own.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome back to the muster. Abbie White joins us out
of Clinton Young Farmer's, although she's busy on the landing
beat there at clove Vale. Abby, good afternoon, How things
I'm well?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Thank you? How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah? Pretty good? But look the lambing beat' has been hard, yeah,
her over the last couple of weeks here. How things
going where you are?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, not too bad. The US and Lands getting a
bit of a reprieve today, which is good, but yeah,
they've done it a bit tough the last week or so.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
How we had of ground conditions.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well it changed overnight really, yes, say we had a
bit of wind to dry things out and thought it
was on the improved, but yeah, just overnight we've had
another down pour and it's put things back to square
bot one.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So over the past couple of weeks you would have
had substantial rain.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, quite a bit. Actually high winds too, in cold winds,
so yeah, it's really knocked the lambs around a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
What's something you do to try and deviate or different
that you wouldn't normally do around other parts of the year,
just to keep yourself upbeat at this time of year.
What would you be doing.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I like to get involved with the young farmers. That
probably is my biggest kind of social outlet, just checking
in with other people and just making sure that yeah,
mental health and you know that you're not the only
person in the same boat.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, a great way to mention it as well. Young farmers,
of course we're talking about Clinton young farmers. How's everything been?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Good.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We've kind of quieted down a little bit after our
quiz night, which was really successful at the end of
July there. But yeah, we're just chipping away planning our
district's competition, which we're hosting on the eighteenth of October.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Eighteenth of October. Yeah, we talked about this last week
with Taylor about these dates or coming around really really quickly.
It's crazy, yeah for sure, going to plan Yeah, so far,
so good.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
We're probably about a month into planning it year, still
very early stages, but it's coming together.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
How many contestants are you hoping for?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Ah, well, we mix out at thirty, so I think
we've got something around ten or eleven so far. But yeah,
going off the trend of Otago Southland, everyone kind of
books and last minute.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So well, if you've been to a rugby game down
here in the South, I mean, you can still walk
up to rugby park and buy take it at the gate.
You don't need to go online. And that's exactly how
it works. So everybody just leaves it to the last moment,
which is just the way things go.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, exactly everything else.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So I mean, like you say, it's a busy time
of year, and you make that really great point about connecting.
Do you guys actively meet up, say once or twice
over a month at this time of year, just to
catch up and never feeding a beer or the likes.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yes, we have a meeting which is the first Monday
of every month, but yeah, we're trying to do something
additional to that each month, so we maybe catch up
twice months. But yeah, just during our busy times planning
these events, we've kind of been a bit quieter in
the club social department.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's a good thing to have as well. The old
chats throw a few shans around just to keep people's
keep people upbeat this time of year, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, for sure, and definitely with the the guys that
are just kind of finishing up carving or yeah, well
way through. Yeah, it's good to catch up with them.
See how they've gone.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
On now Bell for last week with their tail twister.
I'm not going to go back there and rehash that
because it was controversial to say the least. Anyway, you
guys there, what do you have as far as the
tail twister? How do you guys work at Clinton?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
We normally do a deck of the month or a
muck up of the month and offer probably are free
beer to the most popular one. And we've got a
fine system too, so that's all we're counted for. And yeah,
we've just gone onto online with that, and everybody care
catch around these days.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yes they do, of course they do. You still got
twenty bucks in your pocket, don't you.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, Well, people don't shot around, they reckon they don't
have it.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So what's the biggest doozy of a faux pas you've
had for it so far? You reckon that you've heard?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh, we've had quite a few tectors taking out strain
a posts or trick is getting stuck, So that seems
to be the trend in our club.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So pretty much your focus is just around the district's
coming up, sooner than later.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's going to come around really quick.
But we've got some more some people on board willing
to help out and help run modules and so yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Do you do likes of tailing and that to get
a bit of income coming in apart from the tail Twisters, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
We're hoping to get involved with the Lions Club. They
normally ask us for a bit of a hand around
that also in a time of year.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So yeah, great to see the Lions helping you guys
get involved because it works both ways, right, everybody wants
a extra bit of coin.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm going to ask you about this as well there,
but it was interest recently it's come out that agribusiness
isn't going to be included in school curriculum changes. Now.
I believe you went to school in christ Church and
they didn't really offer a lot as an agriculture as such,
but they gave you pathways to help you find where
you wanted to go. Is that right? That's right?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah. I had a really good careers advisor sat down
with me towards the end of my year thirteen year
and kind of checked and see what I wanted to
do and I knew what I didn't want to do,
but yeah, she kind of helped me nut out what
I could go on to do and yeah, went to
Telford after that. So yeah, now you're.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
At Marion College. Probably not an agricultural hubb as such, to.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Be fair, No, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So is there anything whys as far as work experience
or the like. So it's all about getting you down
to Telford.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, so I did take the taste to camp during
my last year at Marion, but yeah, just recently I
went up and had a chat to some of the
senior students at Marion itself. Yeah, they asked a lot
of X marry and girls come along and talk about
their careers. So I had full groups for that, so
a lot of interest, yeah, which is really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So there's a lot of positivity around young people wanting
to get into agriculture as such, would you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Say, Yeah, and definitely ones that aren't from farming backgrounds,
which is really good to see.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, for sure, because it's intriguing how many people want
to get involved and don't know where to start. And
like you say, you know, you're in the demograph where
all these people that come through through the system as such,
you'll know as good as anyone what you need to
do to get a foot in the door.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now Clinton, Young farmers back on tasks. Now you've got
your social channels obviously, your meetings once a month. What
details do people need to know?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Just so we catch up first Monday months at the
Clinton Pub and we're yeah, always welcoming new members along,
so bel to see those newbies come along, especially through
the busy season. It'd be good to catch up and
