Speaker 1 (00:00):
On the show with me. Now I've got Robin Greer
from PGG Rights in real Estate. Good Robin of a
bit of fleet with met seven Wonders of the World.
You know, seven Wonders music coming in? Isn't south in
a bit of a wonder on a day like this?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh, isn't it great? Yeah? And like you know, it's
not the only day like this that that that's the
good thing about it. You know, we've had a number
now and yeah, it's enabled us to grow some grass
and get on top of everything, isn't it Most people? Well,
you know, I saw a very busy time of the year.
People are sort of probably where they would normally be
at this time of the year in general, I think
(00:34):
would be fair to say.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I think so that it looked like, you know, a
lot of the silos and stuff started probably two to
three weeks late. But that looks like they're getting through
it now, you know. There, I wouldn't say they caught
up in that rain we had last Friday. Certainly talked
to a couple of contractors and farmers have just held
off for another four or five days just to let
a bit more bottom come through.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So, yeah, that was good. Rain, wasn't it you know,
it wasn't horizontal, and it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Kyle that it was amazing. Just and know when just
I said to someone the other day, if you could
write a script for the weather for a week, last
week would have been that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, no, and this week's looking pretty similar. So yeah, no,
it's all looking positive. And you know, we're with the
returns out there. I think most people are feeling on
top of things, which is good, and feeling a bit
positive about where the season's going.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Absolutely, and what are you saying out there in the
real estate game plenty heckening.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, well certainly with deary that it's very positive. Yet
there's certainly been lifting values there and yeah, things are
in good demand, which is good. Dry stock properties not
quite the demand, but you know, if there's a local
or a neighbor that wants something, then you know they're
paying fairly for that. Yeah. So yeah, overall, very positive,
(01:55):
Like just like the whole province is very positive at
the moment, isn't It's great?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Certainly, boy atmosphere, I'm noticing that with machinery just all
of a sudden inquires of flooding in you know, yeah,
it's bloody good obviously dairying. Then it's they're just ticking away.
They're moving. Are you getting much of the way of
lifestyle blocks or farmers coming off farms looking for that
sort of thing, or.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, there is, but that's moving along. I wouldn't say
it's anything special, but it's nothing bad though either. It's
probably just ticking away nicely. Yeah. Yeah, And then I
guess for you know, farmers got to get their farm sold.
I guess that's the first priority, get that all tied
up and pridy first, and then they start the next
(02:40):
step some of them.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, completely, And you're noticing Oo, it's probably very early
to tell. Like Frontier just reent with the announcement there
in the last day or two. We'll take a bit
of a check. Or do you think that there's still
plenty of bolishness and confidency out there?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No, Like, heck, you know, even if we get a
nine dollars fifty pay out there, that there's nothing wrong
with that, Like ten dollars would be better, no doubt
about it. But you know, people are still doing well
at that sort of level. So yeah, I don't see
any change like the demand out there as such. That
(03:16):
I don't see any change in the demand for dairy
at the moment just because of that announcement. And I've
also heard farmers are pretty realistic, like you know that
they realize there's always a range there and that that
that can still change again before the end of the
season up or down.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, that's right. And you hear also some some big
money being paid further up country that I guess it's
that migration south of we But like how dairy the
dairy boom started back in the day that we well,
we don't need so much water to be played on
the paddicks anyway through regates. We've got a pretty good
supply that out of the sky most of the time.
(03:54):
And it is good buying there for people that are
getting some cricket scores further north.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh, that's right, Like there's some big dollars being talked
up north. That's for sure. It makes south and look extremely.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Good buying certainly does. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, and yeah, like you say, you know, the range
just happens here. We don't have to bring and pay
to get it put on touch wood.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, yes, yes, we carry on. But it's amazing how
the grass just does grow down here like three or
four weeks ago, they've not long some first cuts where
you look at them now and they're not far off
a seekin cut in places.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah. No, we've had some great growth rates, that's for sure.
Like we're on our deary farm. We've done Baylor every
week now for the last three weeks. Yep, we're mining
more again today. It's yeah. No, it's been a good
continuous scalar growth.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I guess if we're to talk dairy farm and your
FAMI in particularly just a week pivot, the how they
come through mating pretty well.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, mission rate probably not quite we would like it
to be, but overall, yeah, no, looking pretty good. Will
nothing bad, that's for sure. Yeah. So no, it's all
looking good. You know, production's way up and you know
mating has gone reasonable. So yeah, we're not complaining.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And I'm thinking to you like, hopefully cows are well,
I'll be holding through mating and that grass is still
pretty good quality, so you hopefully wait see a big
dip off and and obviously they're going to start planning
off somewhere with the production, but hopefully there's not a
big drop to start with.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, Like if we keep getting this a little bit
of rain every week, and you know we're keeping on
top of the quality. We're taking Baylorsy out and topping.
You know, there's no reason why we can hold this,
you know, for a few months. Just like last season
we never peaked, but we held right through. But yeah,
this season, you know, we peak better and there's no
reason why we can't hold it just by keeping quality there.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, and I think there's been a number of years
unfortunately the way October's gone, where we've struggled to get
peaks anyway, So it's good good to have some good return, correct.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I think most eary farmers should be pretty happy
if we're things, and you know meat farmers as well,
here schedules where they are. It's certainly nothing to complain about,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Certainly looking up, isn't it, And just to poor our
grain farmers can do a bit more in their back
pocket tour and we'd have the full sweet Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah, I don't have a lot to do with
grain farmers, so that's not really an area of strength
of mine. Yeah, but yeah, I do hear that it's
not quarter as.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Rosy, No, but you know that seems to be the
swings around the bebouts of farming.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Doesn't it It does, Like, hey, in my forty odd
years of farming, there's always been ups and downs, and
we win sometimes and we don't other times.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh perfect, Hey, we've pretty well covered everything off, I think, Robin,
so I might have to bid you farewell and thank
you very much for your time and all the best.
I probably won't be talking to you before Christmas, but
have a great Christmas if not, and have a great summer.
Good on you.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah yeah, same to everybody else out there. Thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Thanks, but
