Friday afternoon, once again, where hare's the week gone? But
that means we catch up with Nathan ABERNETHI at a
regional forward here in good good afternoon, Nathan.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, good afternoon, Andy. Where's the week gone? Where has
the months gone? At least the sunshine in this afternoon, Andy,
it's a little bit brighter out there, and hopefully it's
going to be a little bit more of that over
the weekend. But the team are on deck. Obviously you're
going for twenty twenty six and exciting times. Of course,
over the next couple of weeks, we're under two weeks
away for the Southern Field Days, so that's exciting. We've
(00:29):
already sort of started and raped off their site out
there to get it ready for that, so that's coming up.
But look in this over this next week we will
be just putting deals together and bit some pieces to
make sure that if anybody decides to do something a
little bit earlier, that we're all all over that. And
we've got the deals in place. But look us vehicles,
we've got plenty of them. We could do with a
(00:49):
few more, I'll be honest. It has been really, really busy,
but we've got a good range of SUVs here at
the moment. You know you what have we got. We've
got forty Everest, we've got a few of those. We've
got really nice black later model to out a Prado here.
We've got a holding trail Blazer seventh seater as well
for thirty one grand, really good vehicle for the family.
Had a good range of double cabs here in all
(01:11):
makes and models. Andy, So we've got on the spot finance.
There are some great deals happening with finance at the moment.
Just learned that there could be there's a whisper that
you might just start to see interest rates starting to
creep back up a little bit. But Cody and the
business management side of things here has got some great
rates out there for everybody, and we can lock them
in from anything from one three.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
To five years.
Speaker 2 (01:32):

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Good up tonight andlcome to the muster on Hakanui proudly,
proudly brought to you by Peters Genetics. My name's Andy
Mueller and we're here until two o'clock thanks to your company.
As it is a frye like Nathan alluded to, and
it was a little bit of sunshine creeping through. Still cloudy,
but we're going to look in the weather in a
lot more context very shortly with Thul Duncan out of
(02:20):
weather Watch fry A tunes k C and the Sunshine
Band going.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Retro Hakanui's five day forecast with twin farm te from
and soft text. The proof is in the progeny tear
from dot co dot inzead.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
This afternoon partly cloudy with breezey sow Westerlys and a
high of eighteen. Saturday sunny with northwesterlyes nine and twenty.
Sunday morning showers are light northeasterlyes fourteen and twenty two.
Monday Raymond breezy, Westerlys eight and seventeen, and on Tuesday
showers of breeze soll westly seven and fifteen. So temperatures
to head Harriet thirteen point one Northern South and fourteen
(02:58):
point seven, Releton sixteen point one. I was going to
say tim Roo for some reason, but it is Riverton
torn Our fifteen point three, Winton thirteen point six and
Woodlands of fourteen point six, like I say, Phil Duncan
of where the watch gets us underway this afternoon to
have a look at the southern forecast over the next
seven days. Michelle Watt joins us in the country Crossover.
(03:19):
Tessa Miller, a voice who Muster listeners are familiar with. Well,
she's got a scholarship you're going to talk about too,
which is really.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Interesting from a rural lens.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
David Shaw talking about the Edendale crank up which is
getting up this weekend. Edendale crank app weekend of course.
And Andrew Ortison at a newstalk ZB talks a bit
of Tennessee Australian Open. It's out on the it's been
out there now getting towards a conclusion. And as well,
Daniel Hilly, you are doing great things in the golfing
scene around.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
The world as well. So that further ado we'll start
the Yeal with Phil Duncan.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
This is the Muster until two o'clock thanks to Peter's genetics.
It's time to catch up with their resident weather guru
here on the muster Pill. Duncan from weather Watch, still
(04:27):
undefeated Alata smrsset Phil Duncan, Good afternoon.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Good afternoon. How are you doing.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Pretty good weather wise? It hasn't been cold, it's You're
not angry, you're disappointed. We're just looking for some sunshine,
mister Duncan.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, it's been a it's been a really messy summer,
but we are seeing a better weather forecast coming through.
It's not perfect. There's still cold fronts coming in every week,
but they are are fairly short lived, and so you've
got some warmer weather coming in this weekend. Definitely not
hot though, but it's going to be into the twenties,
(05:02):
the lower lower twenties, and the sun should be out
at time. A bit of cloud around, but nothing too much.
And then on Monday, that's the next cold front coming through,
and so so Monday you get the wet weather coming
with that, and a bit of wind as well, sort
of a gusty westerly. And then we get to Tuesday
and that wind is still around a wee bit, but clearer,
(05:22):
drier skies, but the temperature down, so Monday's high seventeen
or so Tuesday sixteen, I can go a degree or
so higher than that if the sun comes out and
the wind eases back of it. But it warms back
up again by Wednesday next week, back into the twenties.
Twenty two degrees expected Wednesday Thursday, and then the next
cold front comes in again on Friday of next week.
(05:43):
White Time you day. So there's a little bit of
rain coming, probably about twenty twenty five millimeters over the
next ten days coming through for Gore itself.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Southern Field days, Las Time. In two weeks. We're getting
well through the event. Are we going to see sunshine
in two weeks?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'd hope so, because we've seen their bit of high
pressure finally moving in over the country now, and so
that that brings us if it goes a little further
north the center of it, that is, if it's further
up the country, that brings in westerlies for you, which
are typically quite warm. And if if those highs are
just stopping short of New Zealand, then you get the
colder southwesterly. So there's sort of a subtle difference between
(06:23):
those two. And so that's the placement of the high
pressure will be further north of you by by some
of them ways that we measure it, so it'll be
it'll be mostly dry going into February, except for these
these brief cold fronts that are still brushing us. And
you know that's to be expected with the summer we've
got at the moment and the way the high pressure
is parked. So it's not a bad forecast, but it's
(06:45):
it's certainly not super hot, but it's not super cold.
Although I got to say tonight's lows four degrees that
is not not exactly warm.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So we almost had a frost on Tuesday easing luckily
it didn't happen. We're getting closer to that autumn state already,
dare I say it. No frost or anything yet.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No no frosts other than tonight being down to four degrees,
but that shouldn't bring a frost, although it's getting getting
close to it. And in fact, I was talking to
the company in Australia in Sydney called weather Zone, and
they provide the maps that we use in my weather videos,
and I was just talking to the accounts that they're
paying up the bill and She just mentioned to me
that she's noticed that the trees have started to change
(07:27):
color where she is in. I think she's in Sydney,
or maybe she might be Adelaide. I can't remember. Think
it's Sydney, and so that's interesting to hear like that
the trees are changing color. They've had some strange weather
over in Australia, like it's been obviously they've got this
heat wave going on, but they've had a pretty miserable
summer up until now, and now it's miserable for the
(07:48):
other reason. It's too hot, but it was too cold before.
Victorian's saying, you know, it's it's been miserably cold. And
so if you're in Victoria or Tasmania, if you're Melbourne
and Hobart, they are having a similar summer to what
the South Island has had, where it's just been very messy,
very unsettled and sort of not really big long hot
(08:09):
stretches of dry, sunny conditions. Now they're probably regretting that
they've asked for the heat because it's been nearly fifty degrees.
I mean, it's unbelievably hot in parts of Australia. Al
that they've got a cold change coming on Sunday, and
that's the same cold change that you're getting going into
Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, somebody's looking at twenty six dotto Melbourne, but Adelaide,
for goodness sake, thirty seven degrees today Melbourne earlier this
week getting to the late forties. That's a summer heat.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And you know what, as you know, that's crazy, right,
But then I mentioned it in my video the other day,
and then I got all these people telling me about
the overnight temperatures and so they were waking up one
place woke up to thirty seven degrees at sunrise, I
mean degrees by day little nighttime, and then.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You compare that little old gore, we've got sixteen for
the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, it's temperate, you know. I prefer the weather to
be a couple of degrees colder than a couple of
degrees hotter. Not everyone's like that. Most people, I think
probably like the heat of it more. But I just
find it of that kind of overwhelming that you can't
do anything. But when it's a little bit cold, you
can sort of move around and warm up. You can't
move around and cold cool down.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
So yeah, I agree with that logic, and not in January.
But nonetheless, look as far as these easterlies, we've been
saying the westerlies as well, when does it going to
be a concern?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
When's not really a concern. Although you point out something
that I've been saying a lot lately that the web
directions all are changing a lot. That's what I mean
by sort of a messy weather pattern. One of the
things that becomes perhaps a little bit more consistent over
the next ten days couple of weeks is I think
we're going to see more of the westerly winds other
than around Sunday and going, yeah, Sunday sort of is
(09:52):
when we get some norderlies coming through ahead of that
Monday cold change. But really a lot of westerlies are
in the forecast coming up, and so that's a bit
more predictable where the pattern that's sort of a bit
more of our usual and so I think the weather
is a little more it sort of it plays the
role that we used to when it's westerly driven, but
we've had a lot of varying windflows. And further up
(10:14):
the country, if you're in coastal areas, you notice a
lot more than inland areas. So if you're in Bluff,
you know, and you get a normally one day in
a southwesterly the next day, that's a really big difference
in temperature. But I and similar stories in places like
christ Church, you know, in northwest to one day southeasterly
the next day, that's a twelve to fifteen degree temperature difference.
And so those those extremes are being noticed more in
(10:36):
the coastal areas. Inland areas like where you are, not
quite so much of those big temperature changes going on.
But we are seeing ups and downs with the temperatures
because of these cold fronts coming through, like I say, Monday,
Tuesday and then again White tongue e Day. Those are
the sort of the cold fronts that we're seeing at
the moment.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Good on your feld Argon. We always appreciate your time
on the Master.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Have a good.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
One well, dun kind of weather watch each and every
Friday here on the Muster. Michelle What is up next?
Executive Producer of the Country. In this week's Country Crossover.
(11:24):
Michelle What as the executive producer of the Country out
of Dunedin and joins us in this afternoons country crossover
Michelle how things.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Yeah, no, not too bad. Andy.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
It feels like January is just speed by, to be honest,
It's almost over and people are talking about why Tonguey
next Friday, and that's scary.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
We're talking Southern field Days this time in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
We're getting towards the conclusion, but at the moment it's
just flared out out there at waymomu.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Oh, I'm excited. I have not been to a field
Days before, so this will be Can I say this
on air? Andy popping my field Day's cheery?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're a field Day's virgin.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, this will be.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
The very first one I've been to, so why memory
can take that on it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's a good event.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's a great event, actually, and being part of the
committee out there at the moment, just people being rousted
on to do what they can to help out and
it certainly turns into a mini city for a week
or so and it's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Look, you guys had Winston Peters on the show yesterday.
Oh o, Winny.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He likes to play to the audience, doesn't he He does?
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Indeed, I mean that's why he's been in politics so long.
I think Andy is that he plays to the people.
He plays to his strengths. He knows how to work
a room or work his crowd, so to speak. As
far as voting goes, and I mean the polls on
the rn Z are the RNZ Park Current what it
was called. Now this week kind of showed that when
they rose up to I think third in the polls
and actually climbed up a little bit higher. And I
(12:48):
think he took the preferred prime minister potential spot over
Chris Luxon as well. I have to check that one out,
but yeah, it's really interesting times. I think he definitely
plays to his strength. He knows what his voters want
to hear.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's an interescing New Zealand first talking a lot of
what people want to hear, especially in the rural sense.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
But ironic, he never gives policy.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah it's probably it might be a little bit too
early in the piece yet, but.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
He never has that. That's my thing with Winston.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I've never heard Winston Peter's come out and give policy
regarding anything that's true.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
She likes to come out and just attack what other people.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, exactly, because that's what he does so well. And
that's why the wally old dog's been in Parliament as
long as he has.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
He's a very clever individual and for someone to have
been in politics that long, he knows a lot of stuff.
So it'll be an interesting watch come around up until
November seventh. I think from now on to me, Winston
has and I said this to Jamie the other day,
Actually I feel like Winston has already started the engines,
run down the throttle and put on the accelerator, and
the rest of the parties are all still sitting on
the start line with the enginees idling.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Hey, Judith Collins, she's retiring very shortly out of parliament.
She's been there a very long time, and you've got
to give credit to crush her. It's a long time
I under stay in that role or in the roles
that she's held.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Absolutely, I think it was twenty four years she's been
in parliament.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think she came in, which is a lot. Sorry,
two thousand and two, this is.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
She's seen, yeah, which is twenty yeah, twenty four years ago,
which is a long you know, a long time to
be in parliament. I mean, not as long as Winston
obviously he's been there since it began. It feels like
since the dawn of dinosaurs or whatever. But she has
been around for a very long time, seeing a lot
of things, and obviously and held in quite high regard
in Parliament and within her staff as well.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I've heard, Yeah, it's interesting. One of the comments I.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Heard was that she stayed, She stayed very headstrong and
was predominantly a male a male world.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I think it's hard for females in politics and especially
earlier in the peace holding those positions are very male.
It was a very male dominated area, and I think
it's very hard to be female and play your strengths
in those positions. So I always, you know, tip my
hat to anybody who holds a position high up that
has to compete in that world. I mean, you'd like
(15:05):
to think things have changed now, but I don't know.
I think it's still sort of viewed that way a
little bit, where you have to play things a little
bit tough, and she did that very well. I mean
you remember crushing that car, Yes, yeah, I mean that
was I mean, I don't think anyone will ever forget that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
It was just classic Judas.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Now, this kind of leads into what we want to
talk about next, about being open minded. Open mindedness because
you've got quite the background regarding psychology in the life,
Is that correct.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
I have a Bachelor of Science that made it in psychologists.
I'm not a psychologist. I didn't do a massive master's
degree in or anything like that. But I think it's
just the open mindedness thing. I was thinking about it
coming into election year, and there's always a lot of
opinions flying around and people get sort of stuck in
one area, and I think you've got to remember. I
(15:55):
like using this saying Andy, open your mind like a
parachute sometimes because it's good to reach it out wide,
get different opinions about things and not just stick in
the same way bubble.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Sometimes it's a really interesting quote you usire. It reminds
me of something.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That used to be on teally in the telemarketing days
in the mid nineties Passion profit and power learning to
expand your mind.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yeah, I think we've got to remember you've got to
get information from different places and different sources and make
sure that you expand on things a little bit. If
you see an opinion online, don't just take that for word.
And I think that happens a lot now, especially on
social media. You'll see a headline on social media it's like, yep,
that's the one. Make sure you go and research that
stuff a little bit more deeper, because I think you'll
find there's a lot more opinions than just that one.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's like Twitter back in the day. It's cause it's
called x now, but it's still referred to as Twitter.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And rightly so.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And it used to be a really interesting place to
get a lot of interesting comparisons and respectful but now
it's just been dominated by the left, by the right,
and everything has just gone down an absolute rabbit hole.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I think social media in general is a little bit
like that.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Yeah, it's dominated by a certain crowd and the loudest
voices get heard, if that makes any sense, And that
happens in real life as well, with their loudest voice,
you know, the one who shouts the loudest is the
one who people listen to. Just remember, the person who
shouts the loudest quite often doesn't believe or have the
authenticity and what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Now, Shane Beck and doing this walk down the South
Island for a fantastic cause, he's going through north of
Tago at the moment, slowly making his way down south.
I think he's due through the getting them into a
deep South through the next week.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah, this is really great, such an amazing cause. I
think last time I looked at us give a little page,
he'd raised over fifteen k andy, which is insane. It's
amazing that people are really getting behind this. And I
know you and Chitty have talked to him over the
course of the last couple of weeks as he's come
down from the top of the South Island and it's
been a pretty tough journey for him. We're other wise
his cause of causes to raise money for the aftermath
(17:53):
of suicide, so those who are left behind, families and
that it had been affected and things like that, and
it's just it's an amazing call that he's walking for.
Him and his wife are just the most stunning, beautiful people.
They do so much in the community from down and
Milton and just absolutely amazing people.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, a really interesting and respectful guy when especially when
you have a yarn to him, and he's really appreciative
as well of getting in touch because the cause he's
doing and you're hearing a lot of people doing these things.
They're just such they just going to such a relevant situation.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I think that he's such a humble guy, Shane, And
he didn't expect when I text him the other day
and said, hey, did you realize you give a little
page has got to hear And he was like yeah,
he said, I'm I'm just just blown away by people's generosity.
And I think that's the most amazing thing. Stuff like
that always brings out kindness in the woodworks and his
stories which I'm sure that you've heard from him about
(18:45):
people meeting him while he's been walking on the road
telling them, you know, their stories and sharing their experiences
and saying, you know, what a great thing he's doing.
Walking with him as well. Is just such a cool thing.
And I think that's the bigger picture of these fundraiser
is when people do things like that. I mean, the
money's obviously a good a great part of it, but
it's also a chance for people to connect.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Just finally, Young Farmers Regional finals happening down here for
a Tigo South and anyway next weekend the regionals are
happening in Gored.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That's going to be a goodie.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I'm just looking at the finalists now that I've got
on here, and there's a good mix on there for
the O Tigo South and of course our Range regional
finals the first one that's happening tomorrow, so it'll be
exciting to see who comes out of that one. Of course,
one of the names I noticed on the Our rangy
was George Leatham, who has been in a Grand Final before,
(19:36):
and on the Tigo Southend Ones and is there anyone
who's been in the Grand final before that?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You reckoon grand final? Cam Smith's pulled out. There's a
lot of names in there from last year as well
that competed this. Looking at the lists, so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Hell, it will unvolve, it always is.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But the great thing about Young Farmers is it's an
organization on the charge.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Oh I love Young Farmers.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
All of these organizations Xander McDonald, things that are bringing
young people like giving them opportunities within a sector is
just an amazing thing to see.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
So go forth and conquer.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I say, go forth and conquer.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Good Michelle will speak again and enjoy coming down to
away movie in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Well, I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Michelle Watt and the Country Crossover. We're catching up with
Tessa Mila next. Now she's got to really call award
or a scholarship that she's going to start very shortly
and she's going to tell us all about it. The
(20:38):
music for a Friday is Casey and the Sunshine Band
to give you that week end feeling. This is a
muster on Hockennui. My name's Andy Miuer. And next we
are catching up with Tessa Miller. You've heard Tessa on
the Muster before, but today we're talking about a couple
of different things. She's one of these people that seems
to be setting goals and smash them out of the ground.
(21:01):
Name we were through her latest achievement regarding the Beef
and Lamb Rural Advancement Scholarships. So she's going to tell
us all about what this means. Tessa, welcome once again.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Thanks and do you think you have me on the show?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You're always good to catch up now this is outstanding.
You're a busy individual. I've had you on of course
if your role being catchment coordinator for Thriving Southland, you're
involve young farmers too. But tell us about what wanted
to get you involved with the value chain program.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Yeah, well it's a little bit different. So my dad
was actually went on a tour to Chicago in September
last year with Fontira, and he very graciously took him
took me with him, and so we ended up going
through on a study tour from Chicago down to Wisconsin,
(21:52):
going to the Dairy Expo International Dairy Expo, and I
suppose my excuse me, my interest in going was to
understand what the dairy industry is doing in New Zealand
and then what New Zealand sheef and beef industry might
look like. I wanted to kind of get a feel
of what Fontera has been up to and how they,
you know, get such great data from their customers or
(22:19):
from their dairy farmers, and then how they see that
with the big value customers that they have. And so
when I came back from that tour, my brain was
just fissing and I was talking to as many people
as I could and trying to understand so much more.
And it was actually Richard, my boss at Thriving, who
encouraged me to look at this value chain innovation program
(22:43):
and it's run by the same people as rural leaders,
so the same people that do calogs, but really understanding
within New Zealand what do where value chains look like
across different sectors and then trying to analyze them and
work out, you know, what could that look like in
Michigan based space and bringing it back to our farm
in our local community, and then hopefully within my role
(23:06):
at Thriving Southland as well, I'll be able to bring
a few insights in.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Now going from the small smoke of Otama to the
big smoke of Chicago and throw into Wisconsin as such.
I mean, we talk about New Zealand being a minority
in the rural landscape around the world. What was the
opinion about New Zealand as such? About it sounding patronizing,
Like do we just looked at what we looked upon
as just a small country with not much of an outreach.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Oh yeah, a small country for sure. But what we're
looking at and what is important to New Zealand dairy
is quite different to what's important to the USA markets
or the America's markets. Like the volume that they're putting
out is huge, and the products that they're putting out
is a weey bit different to what New Zealand do,
(23:53):
But I just, in all honesty, I didn't realize just
how small New Zealand was, and then how important what
our customers are actually asking for is. And then is
there a link between the two And you know, I've
got a we roll on the side that supports far
more with zid fat plus, And is the data that
we're collecting for enzid fat plus worthwhile? How does that
(24:15):
link and with what AK and chubers are asking for?
Is there more that we can be doing? And are
there just even slight changes of how we can capture
data and just get the best for our products and
the best for their local communities.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So what's your overall golf? What you are to achieve
through the scholarship?
Speaker 8 (24:33):
I don't want to see. I really want to expand
my networks in this space. I think that some of
those answers are actually out there already, and there's people
out there that will know far more than I know,
And all I want to do is talk to them
and just get a sense of what us is missing
and how I can support it. Yeah, it's going to
be essentially, there's sixteen of us who go on this
(24:54):
tour and we go from Napier after Hamilton, and I've
been told there's a lot of time on bus and
that's where you have your best conversations and that's where
they kind of pull out the insights and things. So
I just can't wait to, yeah, to get into some
of those debty gritty conversations.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
So what's involved with the scholarship?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
So the yeah, I suppose I should say that I
have been selected for the tour by the Rural Leaders.
But the reason I can go on it is because
of the Beef and Lamb Rural Advancement Scholarship and then
the NZI Young Farmer's CenTra as well. That was very
cool to get that way. Scholarship and striding has helped
(25:36):
as well. And so we travel from Napier. We go
and visit as many different value chains in the food,
food and fiber sector as we can. So we visit
things like Rocket Global, mister Apple. We go and have
a look at the robotics companies, and we go to
(25:56):
the Port of Tearong Air, go to zest Free, we
take out Fontierra, visit some Kiwi yorkshires. Yeah, We're just
going visit as many as we can. And about ten
days you're very full on for.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Sure, And you were saying you're on a bus basically
traveling between Napier and Hamilton.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah. Yeah, so we end up up in Hamilton. We
have to do a presentation about you know, the different
value chains that we have seen and then the principles
behind them. So the idea is you're critically analyzing the
value chains and then working out what your value chain
might be able to or you might better fit in
(26:36):
with that. And one thing is that the reason the
program actually started was because during COVID the Nuffield Scholars
were obviously stuck in New Zealand and weren't able to
travel on their usual international tour, and so they pulled
together a New Zealand version, which is where it's come from,
(26:57):
which actually means I'll get to spend these days with
the twenty twenty six Nowfield scholars as well. So yeah,
getting to hear about what they're up to and what
their plans are will be just as exciting, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So likes after this, are you thinking perhaps Sander McDonald
or not Field Scholarship long term?
Speaker 8 (27:14):
I'm sure we'll see where things where things go. We'll
start with this and see what kind of questions I
can get answered, And like I said, the big thing
is is how which people can I connect with and
you know what kind of answers can we start to
pull together and who how do we bring this into
our local communities. Yeah, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Congratulations, Tests, there's certainly something to be celebrated. And good
to see your other half Connor at the supermarket yesterday,
so he knows what the grocery are looks like for
the upcoming months.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Eh, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, just one more thing Andy, Yes,
if there are some people interested in, you know what
the markets might be doing of how impacts airfarms so
iving south and holding the understanding the impact understanding everything
(28:07):
to gain which is on the sixth of May in
Scott Park. I mean all David, and that's going to
be unreal the speakers that we're going to hear from
and really understanding from an international point of view what
all the trade and policy and discussions that we're having
is actually doing. Tour on far.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Performance, Tessa.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We'll do a follow up with this because we know
you love having a chat in the upcoming months. But
your congratulations once again, col Thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Andy, Tessa.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Noah fantastic to see people at this as well. Just innovative,
just thinking what can we do to add value to
the food chain, So really looking forward to coming out
finding out what Tessa comes out with regarding this. David
Show is up next regarding Edendale crank Up, which is
starting this evening with the street parade before the weekend's activities.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Welcome back. This is the muster on Hakanni.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
David Shure joins us next here is part of the
Edendale Villaders Machinery Club.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Of course it's.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All go of cran Cap happening down at eden Dale,
which is an event being synonymous south end of the
end of January.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
David, good to catch up.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Hey, how are you.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
How's it all going from your guy's perspective.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
Anyway, Well, things are slightly flattened to trickle in through
the gate. Normally Friday's a big set up day. We'll
be having a slightly different lay up this year. Frontier
has got a quite a bit of construction going on,
sort of a tack ups on their tractor paddic, so
visitors will notice a little bit of a different change
in the layup, but we'll still have all the same
(30:00):
entertainments and plenty of all visitors to see and do.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Let's go back to the nuts and bolts at the
event day. But what is the appeal of it?
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Well, you pay your twenty bucks again of the gate
and you can stay all day, and there's all sorts
of things to see and do. You can ride all
sorts of things. You write everything from attraction engine to
a poney you can buy all all sorts of things
from a therapeutic message to a three D printed dinosaur
in the infant of the crafts. Yeah, there's there's just
such a big variety of people think things, the sea,
(30:30):
doing experience and for twenty bucks. What can you buy
for twenty bucks these days?
Speaker 9 (30:34):
That gets you all that.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It seems to be an event that just keeps getting
more popular over time.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
Wow, we like to think.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
So we have people who come every year and I
mean this is their thirty eighth. Now we've been doing
it pretty much for thirty eight years, although it was
a bit humble and are first at beginnings. But yeah,
we've stuck with the two day format since about two
thousand and two, and it just seems to be getting
just as popular as it ever has been.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What's good be there. What's there's always a theme with
the ev is what have we got for this year?
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Well, this this is is theme is Ferguson, Massy Ferguson,
and it's sixty years of Toya.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
And New Zealand.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
Sodas will have one of the first corollas that was
the same word in New Zealand and I think party
more year listers will have had seen driven encountered either
a Fergi or a Toyota. I'm sure they would have.
I'll be very surprised if any of any of you
listen to Heaven. So we'll have everything from early land cruises.
We've got little gray Fergie's, we've got larger Redden gray Fergis.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
So that that's a big thing for this year.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
So when it is a theme, what does it mean
for the event? What happens as such?
Speaker 10 (31:40):
Well, we have extra parades, there'll be scial displays on.
Like I said, is gonna have is going to be
there with with their early Corolla. They'll be got a
little special parades and displays. So if you especially if
you have any sort of interest in fergus or tights,
definitely this is the place to be.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So you're going to have likes the old bulldogs and
there maybe perhaps likes of bring gun carriers.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
Yeah, well, the bulldogs will always be there. They're always
a great interest for for prefer visitors will have them.
Probably Actually our first event at ten a m will
be a bulldog starting, so if you're interested in that,
that that's the time to be.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
The military guys will be along.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
What sort of display they'll have, I'm not sure, but
there'll be probably be trying it, but will work out
what they'll be doing.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And it's an event that captures the imagination and more
ways the one. Yes, you've got all the vehicles, the
heavy vehicles and likes, but if the arts and crafts
is also a big part of.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
It, it certainly is.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
I mean we've had people coming every year for the.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
For crank Up.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
It's a big event for a lot of people in
that sort of commdion and there's very clever people out
there who bring along their weares and it's it's one
of the one the biggest events as well. So it's
definitely not just if you're inter tractors. If you into
crafts or anything like that, there's definitely something for you
to look at too.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Grand parade. When does that happen?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
Well, on the side, the Grand Parade is at three
point thirty and it's at the same time on the
Sunday as well.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I mean, this is old school. You've got the tug
of war, You've got the lovely scrambles, You've got all
the old stuff that you're not really allowed.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
To do these days.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
We're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Good on you, that's what we want to hear.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Now, what's the story with prices? So twenty bucks to
get in if passed cash?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
What do you want people to bring?
Speaker 10 (33:36):
Will have air poss at the gate, please, you definitely
bring cash because there's a plenty of things that's been
it on.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
But yeah, we will have airposs at the gate.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
Please leave your dogs at home because a lot of
air paddocks will be on Fonterira land and due to
hygiene regulations, so please leave dogs tied up and you
just bring yourselves. We'll have good, good weather. We always
have good weather. Even it's raining, it's still Even if
it's even it's raining, it's still good weather.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
South of this. Will just bring a jacket.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
It's exactly.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
The last few years the rain has very kindly sort
of stayed off until after the Grand Parade on Sunday,
so the last two years running, so we'll probably have
that tradition happening again.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Chainsaw sculpting, Yes, interesting.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Very interesting.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
What's to go there?
Speaker 10 (34:25):
Well, the very skilled man comes along and carves bit
of wind with a chainsaw and all sorts of things,
all sorts of different shapes and sizes. We'll have quite
a lot of wood chopping this year as well. There's
be at least these twenty wood choppers and they'll be
running all through the day. I know that's always very
popular to to stay and watch, and there'll be the
wood choppers will be doing their thing pretty much all weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Now, if you're interested in classic truck runs, what's.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
This about, Well, Ken Bell part of one of our
Membersi's sort of set that up and.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
It's sort of a little subdivision of our club.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
They're in the trucks and they organize run runs and
all around the countryside. So definitely Ken's numbers in there
in the program. So given McAll if you want to
set that up. I know there was a few guys
particularly interested in the elder trucks and running them around.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
So the street parade is happening this evening at seven o'clock,
seven o'clock Yep and Edendale and then ten o'clock tomorrow.
It's all go.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
At ten o'clock tomorrow, it's all go. Now on the
Saturday evening we'll be having their an your meal. It's
a Barbecue Bill production, and I can definitely testify by
my profile here that barbecue Bill is always splendid. We'll
also be having Laura Coot will be speaking as well.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
Yes, and.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
As you're talking about all her are various couplements. Even
thinking about it makes me tired, so but I'm sure
she'll have plenty of plenty of interest to say.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
She may be even cracking the whip too.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
It's all going tomorrow and kids under sixteen three as.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
Well, definitely, and it's part of the last big event
before school gets back, so we do have a lot
of kids coming along and that's where great to see.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
We definitely want to encourage the.
Speaker 10 (36:01):
Ansters to get into playing with old tractors, especially because
they're the next generation.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Absolutely, because the sixteen meals spanner and a bit of CRC,
you can fix.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
A lot, well, you'd learn quite a lot, hey, David.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Good on your thanks for coming in and enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Thank you, David Sure part of Edendale cran Cap twenty
twenty six, remembering the spreit the street parade happening tonight

ten o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Come. Incidentally, we've got.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
To double pass to give away here too, but very quickly.
You've got to be able to pick this up by
three o'clock this afternoon at the latest. Text just text
cran Cap to five double O nine with your details
first and first serve. Andrew Ordison wraps the week next
on the Muster. Andrew Ordison of News Talk Zebby joined
(36:59):
us before we wrap up for the week here on
the Muster orders, good afternoon and welcome to a new year.
Speaker 11 (37:07):
Greetings Andy, Yeah, pleasure to be with you again. And yeah,
just well, hoping this summer might finally be kicking in
up north. We've had some pretty grim conditions across the
majority of January, that's for sure, not just I mean
you can gage these says, okay with the haymaking as
to whether the contractors come in and do the baithing
et cetera. And honestly, I don't think since mid December
(37:29):
there's been a window more than three days where there
hasn't been some form of rain forecast or actually eventuate.
And I really feel sorry for them because they just
must limit them during what should be their prime season.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Absolutely mate, And of course you're a South Aukland farming
correspondent as well, and you got a heap of hay
yesterday and it is that time of year where you
should be able to get a couple of days to
get that hay drive and cured.
Speaker 11 (37:52):
Yeah, we're ever hopefully and that this will be the case.
So Oles we have come through and do it. They're
pretty jetic efficient, et cetera. You know, reminder of herself
and the panics there.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Any you're pretty handy throwing the idiot bricks in the shed,
were you?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
What was that on?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
You're pretty handy throwing the idiot bricks and the shed.
Speaker 11 (38:13):
Back in the day you just bog about like lego.
I just love marrying them together, you know in the
back of the shed. Just get a real seat to
achievement out of that and and doing a tidy tidy stack.
But you know, both on the truck and off the truck.
You got to you got to keep things in order.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Putting hay bales away one way of getting rid of rage.
In other ways, getting rid of six seven, eight hundred
a thousand dollar rackets for goodness sake. Of course, Cocoa
got we're talking about she got followed by the cameras
and what she thought was a private space, absolutely going
to town on a racket. Are you what do you
make of all this orders as have we gone too
far as far as wanting to see what our athletes provide?
(38:52):
Or is this just part of the drama?
Speaker 11 (38:54):
She it's certainly part of the drama. But I was
really I think she's quite stand by because ive always
sort of a Cocoa was quite passive, quite quite measured
actually in her disposition over the years. But geez, that
was quite a dark moment. I mean, she really gave
it to that racket. I mean, I don't know, I've
never bashed a racket around it like that, but I
(39:14):
mean I don't maybe just you get so intense in
competition or something like that, just haven't been at that level.
But it was just it was quite a shock to
the system. But I do think too that I go
back to the raphae on the DAR. I mean, he
was always giving that advice in his career that you know,
don't you ever damage a racket done because you know
you're lucky enough to have one. And I wonder there's
(39:37):
a bit of that you have to have to show
a bit more spec there to your equipment, and in
the end, it's you. How important is I suppose? I mean,
she's certainly done well at the tournament, but just yeah,
I just thought it was that was a little shot,
but it almost made it look like it's disposable. She's
not probably paying for it, it'll be sponsored, and I
just thought that. I know she's still young, and but
(39:58):
she's got to really put that into some context there
and rationalize it. And I think it's just because she
was sort of throwing the angle about how, oh there
shouldn't be cameras there, et cetera, et cetera. I mean,
she just didn't go far enough into the dressing room,
you know, to be able to get out of that
view of the camera. But really, since a wider or
a more deep seater this year than that, it's just
(40:19):
her her anger management, I think, and not just her
I mean, there's plenty of players like it, but yeah,
I just think it's you want to you want to
see more mental control for my mind to to really
respect those athletes.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
The Australian Open this year. How have you enjoyed it.
I think it's been great viewing.
Speaker 11 (40:39):
Yeah, it's been dreadful for my sleep, I have to say,
you know, getting up early in the mornings and I
just can't turn the telly off, and I just get
so into some of those games. I love watching it.
I've been really impressed with the amount of drop shots
that seem to be played this year's I think there's
been more of those, which is nice to see a
bit of variety rather than just your crash and ash
(41:00):
with the serve, et cetera. But it's just such a
compelling any of those majors. I just I just get
right wound into them. You know, you just see such
great quality of work with the racket, and I just
I love watching it. There's not really a lot between
some of those top players, but you looked at the
other night fragments like Cinner against Shelton. Shelton played really
(41:22):
well at the times. You know, he's ranked eight in
the World. But Center's second and so just had that
extra capacity with those levers to be able to you know,
push push Shelton around and just that it's a touch
more for Neesse perhaps, and its fine Margins put it
that way.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
The black Caps are over in India. They managed to
get it with in the T twenty series. Will least
be honest, this is all null and void. When the
T twenty Cricket World Cup, that's when we see the
real action it is.
Speaker 11 (41:50):
Actually I'm not too worried about losing those first three
games India. The Indian side, it is tremendously strong. It's
powerful across the board, I think, probably particularly the bat.
But that's ideal build up for New Zealand, I think,
ahead of the actual event itself. I mean, they've already
won the One Day series against India and that's a
pioneering moment itself for New Zealand to go with the
(42:12):
Test series in twenty twenty four in India. But I'm
actually I like what I'm seeing with that team. I
think they're greater than some of their parts. I think
they play really well in New Zealanders and I think
that they will. I think they will contend quite strong.
At least they're having a build up. This time it
was twenty twenty four in the Caribbean, they didn't really
to any great extent and then they were ousted from
(42:33):
ball play. I think that at this time, at least
that is I'm viewing it now, that they'll they'll go
a lot stronger.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Now, Daniel, Hell, are you in the golfing landscape? What
are we expecting for them from the year.
Speaker 11 (42:47):
Look, he is just going from strength to strength, isn't
the idea? I'm loving what contenue Hilly where to get
the opportunity and just seeing how his career is unfolding here.
I mean, once upon a time you might have thought
maybe he might go down that a journeyman track. I
reckon he's genuinely going to contend for like he did
last year, for the USPGA Tour card by season's end.
(43:08):
He's had what four tournaments in the European Tour. So
far this season he's had of those four, he's had
three top six finishes and ties, and even today getting
to third after the first round of the Bahrain Championship
with a six hundred sixty six, it just feels like
he's really found his rhythms, mojo, etcetera. And yeah, he's
(43:32):
going to be contending alongside Ryan Fox for long if
he keeps up this terrific run of form that he's had.
And he just seems to be a really measured character,
well disciplined and doesn't get too fret up about things
on the course. And I think it's really paid dividends
from now after for a few seasons at that top level.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
So it's a fair to say New Zealand golf's at
a pretty good place at the moment.
Speaker 11 (43:56):
Jee. I think it is, isn't it. I mean it's
when you think of what Lydia car World only your
co has achieved over many years now, but what Ryan
Fox and the last years is really coming to his own.
You've got Denny Hill, he got others coming on to
the tour as well. I think, yeah, they would be
pretty happy with where they're at. And he's looking at
the development of the game and he's Zealand. It's not
(44:17):
like we haven't got enough golf courses out there for
people to practice on. You know, it's wonder anywhere you go,
like a long when he stayed highway in the country,
it doesn't stay long before you're seeing a golf course.
It's been carefully managed, sometimes from boas, sometimes from sheep.
But it's it's It's one of the great elements in
the Zealand country.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Life, isn't it well?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
No, no golf course around pocket Coe is safe for
Andrew waldersons in this Hey empire.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
And tell you that much orders. Hey, good on you, mate, You.
Speaker 11 (44:47):
Wouldn't want to be on State Highway twenty two when
I'm sitting your club down the at.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Hey, good on your orders. I always appreciate your time
on the muster. Will chet again?
Speaker 11 (44:57):
Lovely cheers Eddie laugh out loud with ag proud because
life on the land can be a laughing matter.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Brought to us by Sheerwell data working to help the
livestock farmer. How do you make a tissue dance?
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Put a little boogie in it? Kind of relevant today
seeming the music as Casey in the Sunshine Band.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
So we'll leave it there for the week. Dye muw
is my name?
Speaker 1 (45:23):
This has been the muster on Hokanu he chees the
Peterston net. It's best in the Master five Am Tomorrow
podcast up shortly enjoy the weekend.
Friday afternoon, once again, where hare's the week gone? But
that means we catch up with Nathan ABERNETHI at a
regional forward here in good good afternoon, Nathan.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, good afternoon, Andy. Where's the week gone? Where has
the months gone? At least the sunshine in this afternoon, Andy,
it's a little bit brighter out there, and hopefully it's
going to be a little bit more of that over
the weekend. But the team are on deck. Obviously you're
going for twenty twenty six and exciting times. Of course,
over the next couple of weeks, we're under two weeks
away for the Southern Field Days, so that's exciting. We've
(00:29):
already sort of started and raped off their site out
there to get it ready for that, so that's coming up.
But look in this over this next week we will
be just putting deals together and bit some pieces to
make sure that if anybody decides to do something a
little bit earlier, that we're all all over that. And
we've got the deals in place. But look us vehicles,
we've got plenty of them. We could do with a
(00:49):
few more, I'll be honest. It has been really, really busy,
but we've got a good range of SUVs here at
the moment. You know you what have we got. We've
got forty Everest, we've got a few of those. We've
got really nice black later model to out a Prado here.
We've got a holding trail Blazer seventh seater as well
for thirty one grand, really good vehicle for the family.
Had a good range of double cabs here in all
(01:11):
makes and models. Andy, So we've got on the spot finance.
There are some great deals happening with finance at the moment.
Just learned that there could be there's a whisper that
you might just start to see interest rates starting to
creep back up a little bit. But Cody and the
business management side of things here has got some great
rates out there for everybody, and we can lock them
in from anything from one three.

Good up tonight andlcome to the muster on Hakanui proudly,
proudly brought to you by Peters Genetics. My name's Andy
Mueller and we're here until two o'clock thanks to your company.
As it is a frye like Nathan alluded to, and
it was a little bit of sunshine creeping through. Still cloudy,
but we're going to look in the weather in a
lot more context very shortly with Thul Duncan out of
(02:20):
weather Watch fry A tunes k C and the Sunshine
Band going.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Retro Hakanui's five day forecast with twin farm te from
and soft text. The proof is in the progeny tear
from dot co dot inzead.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
This afternoon partly cloudy with breezey sow Westerlys and a
high of eighteen. Saturday sunny with northwesterlyes nine and twenty.
Sunday morning showers are light northeasterlyes fourteen and twenty two.
Monday Raymond breezy, Westerlys eight and seventeen, and on Tuesday
showers of breeze soll westly seven and fifteen. So temperatures
to head Harriet thirteen point one Northern South and fourteen
(02:58):
point seven, Releton sixteen point one. I was going to
say tim Roo for some reason, but it is Riverton
torn Our fifteen point three, Winton thirteen point six and
Woodlands of fourteen point six, like I say, Phil Duncan
of where the watch gets us underway this afternoon to
have a look at the southern forecast over the next
seven days. Michelle Watt joins us in the country Crossover.
(03:19):
Tessa Miller, a voice who Muster listeners are familiar with. Well,
she's got a scholarship you're going to talk about too,
which is really.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Interesting from a rural lens.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
David Shaw talking about the Edendale crank up which is
getting up this weekend. Edendale crank app weekend of course.
And Andrew Ortison at a newstalk ZB talks a bit
of Tennessee Australian Open. It's out on the it's been
out there now getting towards a conclusion. And as well,
Daniel Hilly, you are doing great things in the golfing
scene around.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
The world as well. So that further ado we'll start
the Yeal with Phil Duncan.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
This is the Muster until two o'clock thanks to Peter's genetics.
It's time to catch up with their resident weather guru
here on the muster Pill. Duncan from weather Watch, still
(04:27):
undefeated Alata smrsset Phil Duncan, Good afternoon.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Good afternoon. How are you doing.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Pretty good weather wise? It hasn't been cold, it's You're
not angry, you're disappointed. We're just looking for some sunshine,
mister Duncan.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, it's been a it's been a really messy summer,
but we are seeing a better weather forecast coming through.
It's not perfect. There's still cold fronts coming in every week,
but they are are fairly short lived, and so you've
got some warmer weather coming in this weekend. Definitely not
hot though, but it's going to be into the twenties,
(05:02):
the lower lower twenties, and the sun should be out
at time. A bit of cloud around, but nothing too much.
And then on Monday, that's the next cold front coming through,
and so so Monday you get the wet weather coming
with that, and a bit of wind as well, sort
of a gusty westerly. And then we get to Tuesday
and that wind is still around a wee bit, but clearer,
(05:22):
drier skies, but the temperature down, so Monday's high seventeen
or so Tuesday sixteen, I can go a degree or
so higher than that if the sun comes out and
the wind eases back of it. But it warms back
up again by Wednesday next week, back into the twenties.
Twenty two degrees expected Wednesday Thursday, and then the next
cold front comes in again on Friday of next week.
(05:43):
White Time you day. So there's a little bit of
rain coming, probably about twenty twenty five millimeters over the
next ten days coming through for Gore itself.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Southern Field days, Las Time. In two weeks. We're getting
well through the event. Are we going to see sunshine
in two weeks?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'd hope so, because we've seen their bit of high
pressure finally moving in over the country now, and so
that that brings us if it goes a little further
north the center of it, that is, if it's further
up the country, that brings in westerlies for you, which
are typically quite warm. And if if those highs are
just stopping short of New Zealand, then you get the
colder southwesterly. So there's sort of a subtle difference between
(06:23):
those two. And so that's the placement of the high
pressure will be further north of you by by some
of them ways that we measure it, so it'll be
it'll be mostly dry going into February, except for these
these brief cold fronts that are still brushing us. And
you know that's to be expected with the summer we've
got at the moment and the way the high pressure
is parked. So it's not a bad forecast, but it's
(06:45):
it's certainly not super hot, but it's not super cold.
Although I got to say tonight's lows four degrees that
is not not exactly warm.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So we almost had a frost on Tuesday easing luckily
it didn't happen. We're getting closer to that autumn state already,
dare I say it. No frost or anything yet.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No no frosts other than tonight being down to four degrees,
but that shouldn't bring a frost, although it's getting getting
close to it. And in fact, I was talking to
the company in Australia in Sydney called weather Zone, and
they provide the maps that we use in my weather videos,
and I was just talking to the accounts that they're
paying up the bill and She just mentioned to me
that she's noticed that the trees have started to change
(07:27):
color where she is in. I think she's in Sydney,
or maybe she might be Adelaide. I can't remember. Think
it's Sydney, and so that's interesting to hear like that
the trees are changing color. They've had some strange weather
over in Australia, like it's been obviously they've got this
heat wave going on, but they've had a pretty miserable
summer up until now, and now it's miserable for the
(07:48):
other reason. It's too hot, but it was too cold before.
Victorian's saying, you know, it's it's been miserably cold. And
so if you're in Victoria or Tasmania, if you're Melbourne
and Hobart, they are having a similar summer to what
the South Island has had, where it's just been very messy,
very unsettled and sort of not really big long hot
(08:09):
stretches of dry, sunny conditions. Now they're probably regretting that
they've asked for the heat because it's been nearly fifty degrees.
I mean, it's unbelievably hot in parts of Australia. Al
that they've got a cold change coming on Sunday, and
that's the same cold change that you're getting going into
Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, somebody's looking at twenty six dotto Melbourne, but Adelaide,
for goodness sake, thirty seven degrees today Melbourne earlier this
week getting to the late forties. That's a summer heat.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And you know what, as you know, that's crazy, right,
But then I mentioned it in my video the other day,
and then I got all these people telling me about
the overnight temperatures and so they were waking up one
place woke up to thirty seven degrees at sunrise, I
mean degrees by day little nighttime, and then.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You compare that little old gore, we've got sixteen for
the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, it's temperate, you know. I prefer the weather to
be a couple of degrees colder than a couple of
degrees hotter. Not everyone's like that. Most people, I think
probably like the heat of it more. But I just
find it of that kind of overwhelming that you can't
do anything. But when it's a little bit cold, you
can sort of move around and warm up. You can't
move around and cold cool down.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
So yeah, I agree with that logic, and not in January.
But nonetheless, look as far as these easterlies, we've been
saying the westerlies as well, when does it going to
be a concern?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
When's not really a concern. Although you point out something
that I've been saying a lot lately that the web
directions all are changing a lot. That's what I mean
by sort of a messy weather pattern. One of the
things that becomes perhaps a little bit more consistent over
the next ten days couple of weeks is I think
we're going to see more of the westerly winds other
than around Sunday and going, yeah, Sunday sort of is
(09:52):
when we get some norderlies coming through ahead of that
Monday cold change. But really a lot of westerlies are
in the forecast coming up, and so that's a bit
more predictable where the pattern that's sort of a bit
more of our usual and so I think the weather
is a little more it sort of it plays the
role that we used to when it's westerly driven, but
we've had a lot of varying windflows. And further up
(10:14):
the country, if you're in coastal areas, you notice a
lot more than inland areas. So if you're in Bluff,
you know, and you get a normally one day in
a southwesterly the next day, that's a really big difference
in temperature. But I and similar stories in places like
christ Church, you know, in northwest to one day southeasterly
the next day, that's a twelve to fifteen degree temperature difference.
And so those those extremes are being noticed more in
(10:36):
the coastal areas. Inland areas like where you are, not
quite so much of those big temperature changes going on.
But we are seeing ups and downs with the temperatures
because of these cold fronts coming through, like I say, Monday,
Tuesday and then again White tongue e Day. Those are
the sort of the cold fronts that we're seeing at
the moment.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Good on your feld Argon. We always appreciate your time
on the Master.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Have a good.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
One well, dun kind of weather watch each and every
Friday here on the Muster. Michelle What is up next?
Executive Producer of the Country. In this week's Country Crossover.
(11:24):
Michelle What as the executive producer of the Country out
of Dunedin and joins us in this afternoons country crossover
Michelle how things.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Yeah, no, not too bad. Andy.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
It feels like January is just speed by, to be honest,
It's almost over and people are talking about why Tonguey
next Friday, and that's scary.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
We're talking Southern field Days this time in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
We're getting towards the conclusion, but at the moment it's
just flared out out there at waymomu.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Oh, I'm excited. I have not been to a field
Days before, so this will be Can I say this
on air? Andy popping my field Day's cheery?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're a field Day's virgin.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, this will be.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
The very first one I've been to, so why memory
can take that on it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's a good event.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's a great event, actually, and being part of the
committee out there at the moment, just people being rousted
on to do what they can to help out and
it certainly turns into a mini city for a week
or so and it's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Look, you guys had Winston Peters on the show yesterday.
Oh o, Winny.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He likes to play to the audience, doesn't he He does?
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Indeed, I mean that's why he's been in politics so long.
I think Andy is that he plays to the people.
He plays to his strengths. He knows how to work
a room or work his crowd, so to speak. As
far as voting goes, and I mean the polls on
the rn Z are the RNZ Park Current what it
was called. Now this week kind of showed that when
they rose up to I think third in the polls
and actually climbed up a little bit higher. And I
(12:48):
think he took the preferred prime minister potential spot over
Chris Luxon as well. I have to check that one out,
but yeah, it's really interesting times. I think he definitely
plays to his strength. He knows what his voters want
to hear.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's an interescing New Zealand first talking a lot of
what people want to hear, especially in the rural sense.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
But ironic, he never gives policy.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah it's probably it might be a little bit too
early in the piece yet, but.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
He never has that. That's my thing with Winston.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I've never heard Winston Peter's come out and give policy
regarding anything that's true.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
She likes to come out and just attack what other people.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, exactly, because that's what he does so well. And
that's why the wally old dog's been in Parliament as
long as he has.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
He's a very clever individual and for someone to have
been in politics that long, he knows a lot of stuff.
So it'll be an interesting watch come around up until
November seventh. I think from now on to me, Winston
has and I said this to Jamie the other day,
Actually I feel like Winston has already started the engines,
run down the throttle and put on the accelerator, and
the rest of the parties are all still sitting on
the start line with the enginees idling.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Hey, Judith Collins, she's retiring very shortly out of parliament.
She's been there a very long time, and you've got
to give credit to crush her. It's a long time
I under stay in that role or in the roles
that she's held.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Absolutely, I think it was twenty four years she's been
in parliament.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think she came in, which is a lot. Sorry,
two thousand and two, this is.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
She's seen, yeah, which is twenty yeah, twenty four years ago,
which is a long you know, a long time to
be in parliament. I mean, not as long as Winston
obviously he's been there since it began. It feels like
since the dawn of dinosaurs or whatever. But she has
been around for a very long time, seeing a lot
of things, and obviously and held in quite high regard
in Parliament and within her staff as well.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I've heard, Yeah, it's interesting. One of the comments I.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Heard was that she stayed, She stayed very headstrong and
was predominantly a male a male world.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I think it's hard for females in politics and especially
earlier in the peace holding those positions are very male.
It was a very male dominated area, and I think
it's very hard to be female and play your strengths
in those positions. So I always, you know, tip my
hat to anybody who holds a position high up that
has to compete in that world. I mean, you'd like
(15:05):
to think things have changed now, but I don't know.
I think it's still sort of viewed that way a
little bit, where you have to play things a little
bit tough, and she did that very well. I mean
you remember crushing that car, Yes, yeah, I mean that
was I mean, I don't think anyone will ever forget that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
It was just classic Judas.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Now, this kind of leads into what we want to
talk about next, about being open minded. Open mindedness because
you've got quite the background regarding psychology in the life,
Is that correct.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
I have a Bachelor of Science that made it in psychologists.
I'm not a psychologist. I didn't do a massive master's
degree in or anything like that. But I think it's
just the open mindedness thing. I was thinking about it
coming into election year, and there's always a lot of
opinions flying around and people get sort of stuck in
one area, and I think you've got to remember. I
(15:55):
like using this saying Andy, open your mind like a
parachute sometimes because it's good to reach it out wide,
get different opinions about things and not just stick in
the same way bubble.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Sometimes it's a really interesting quote you usire. It reminds
me of something.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That used to be on teally in the telemarketing days
in the mid nineties Passion profit and power learning to
expand your mind.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yeah, I think we've got to remember you've got to
get information from different places and different sources and make
sure that you expand on things a little bit. If
you see an opinion online, don't just take that for word.
And I think that happens a lot now, especially on
social media. You'll see a headline on social media it's like, yep,
that's the one. Make sure you go and research that
stuff a little bit more deeper, because I think you'll
find there's a lot more opinions than just that one.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's like Twitter back in the day. It's cause it's
called x now, but it's still referred to as Twitter.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And rightly so.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And it used to be a really interesting place to
get a lot of interesting comparisons and respectful but now
it's just been dominated by the left, by the right,
and everything has just gone down an absolute rabbit hole.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I think social media in general is a little bit
like that.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Yeah, it's dominated by a certain crowd and the loudest
voices get heard, if that makes any sense, And that
happens in real life as well, with their loudest voice,
you know, the one who shouts the loudest is the
one who people listen to. Just remember, the person who
shouts the loudest quite often doesn't believe or have the
authenticity and what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Now, Shane Beck and doing this walk down the South
Island for a fantastic cause, he's going through north of
Tago at the moment, slowly making his way down south.
I think he's due through the getting them into a
deep South through the next week.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah, this is really great, such an amazing cause. I
think last time I looked at us give a little page,
he'd raised over fifteen k andy, which is insane. It's
amazing that people are really getting behind this. And I
know you and Chitty have talked to him over the
course of the last couple of weeks as he's come
down from the top of the South Island and it's
been a pretty tough journey for him. We're other wise
his cause of causes to raise money for the aftermath
(17:53):
of suicide, so those who are left behind, families and
that it had been affected and things like that, and
it's just it's an amazing call that he's walking for.
Him and his wife are just the most stunning, beautiful people.
They do so much in the community from down and
Milton and just absolutely amazing people.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, a really interesting and respectful guy when especially when
you have a yarn to him, and he's really appreciative
as well of getting in touch because the cause he's
doing and you're hearing a lot of people doing these things.
They're just such they just going to such a relevant situation.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I think that he's such a humble guy, Shane, And
he didn't expect when I text him the other day
and said, hey, did you realize you give a little
page has got to hear And he was like yeah,
he said, I'm I'm just just blown away by people's generosity.
And I think that's the most amazing thing. Stuff like
that always brings out kindness in the woodworks and his
stories which I'm sure that you've heard from him about
(18:45):
people meeting him while he's been walking on the road
telling them, you know, their stories and sharing their experiences
and saying, you know, what a great thing he's doing.
Walking with him as well. Is just such a cool thing.
And I think that's the bigger picture of these fundraiser
is when people do things like that. I mean, the
money's obviously a good a great part of it, but
it's also a chance for people to connect.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Just finally, Young Farmers Regional finals happening down here for
a Tigo South and anyway next weekend the regionals are
happening in Gored.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That's going to be a goodie.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I'm just looking at the finalists now that I've got
on here, and there's a good mix on there for
the O Tigo South and of course our Range regional
finals the first one that's happening tomorrow, so it'll be
exciting to see who comes out of that one. Of course,
one of the names I noticed on the Our rangy
was George Leatham, who has been in a Grand Final before,
(19:36):
and on the Tigo Southend Ones and is there anyone
who's been in the Grand final before that?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You reckoon grand final? Cam Smith's pulled out. There's a
lot of names in there from last year as well
that competed this. Looking at the lists, so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Hell, it will unvolve, it always is.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But the great thing about Young Farmers is it's an
organization on the charge.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Oh I love Young Farmers.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
All of these organizations Xander McDonald, things that are bringing
young people like giving them opportunities within a sector is
just an amazing thing to see.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
So go forth and conquer.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I say, go forth and conquer.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Good Michelle will speak again and enjoy coming down to
away movie in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Well, I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Michelle Watt and the Country Crossover. We're catching up with
Tessa Mila next. Now she's got to really call award
or a scholarship that she's going to start very shortly
and she's going to tell us all about it. The
(20:38):
music for a Friday is Casey and the Sunshine Band
to give you that week end feeling. This is a
muster on Hockennui. My name's Andy Miuer. And next we
are catching up with Tessa Miller. You've heard Tessa on
the Muster before, but today we're talking about a couple
of different things. She's one of these people that seems
to be setting goals and smash them out of the ground.
(21:01):
Name we were through her latest achievement regarding the Beef
and Lamb Rural Advancement Scholarships. So she's going to tell
us all about what this means. Tessa, welcome once again.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Thanks and do you think you have me on the show?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You're always good to catch up now this is outstanding.
You're a busy individual. I've had you on of course
if your role being catchment coordinator for Thriving Southland, you're
involve young farmers too. But tell us about what wanted
to get you involved with the value chain program.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Yeah, well it's a little bit different. So my dad
was actually went on a tour to Chicago in September
last year with Fontira, and he very graciously took him
took me with him, and so we ended up going
through on a study tour from Chicago down to Wisconsin,
(21:52):
going to the Dairy Expo International Dairy Expo, and I
suppose my excuse me, my interest in going was to
understand what the dairy industry is doing in New Zealand
and then what New Zealand sheef and beef industry might
look like. I wanted to kind of get a feel
of what Fontera has been up to and how they,
you know, get such great data from their customers or
(22:19):
from their dairy farmers, and then how they see that
with the big value customers that they have. And so
when I came back from that tour, my brain was
just fissing and I was talking to as many people
as I could and trying to understand so much more.
And it was actually Richard, my boss at Thriving, who
encouraged me to look at this value chain innovation program
(22:43):
and it's run by the same people as rural leaders,
so the same people that do calogs, but really understanding
within New Zealand what do where value chains look like
across different sectors and then trying to analyze them and
work out, you know, what could that look like in
Michigan based space and bringing it back to our farm
in our local community, and then hopefully within my role
(23:06):
at Thriving Southland as well, I'll be able to bring
a few insights in.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Now going from the small smoke of Otama to the
big smoke of Chicago and throw into Wisconsin as such.
I mean, we talk about New Zealand being a minority
in the rural landscape around the world. What was the
opinion about New Zealand as such? About it sounding patronizing,
Like do we just looked at what we looked upon
as just a small country with not much of an outreach.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Oh yeah, a small country for sure. But what we're
looking at and what is important to New Zealand dairy
is quite different to what's important to the USA markets
or the America's markets. Like the volume that they're putting
out is huge, and the products that they're putting out
is a weey bit different to what New Zealand do,
(23:53):
But I just, in all honesty, I didn't realize just
how small New Zealand was, and then how important what
our customers are actually asking for is. And then is
there a link between the two And you know, I've
got a we roll on the side that supports far
more with zid fat plus, And is the data that
we're collecting for enzid fat plus worthwhile? How does that
(24:15):
link and with what AK and chubers are asking for?
Is there more that we can be doing? And are
there just even slight changes of how we can capture
data and just get the best for our products and
the best for their local communities.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So what's your overall golf? What you are to achieve
through the scholarship?
Speaker 8 (24:33):
I don't want to see. I really want to expand
my networks in this space. I think that some of
those answers are actually out there already, and there's people
out there that will know far more than I know,
And all I want to do is talk to them
and just get a sense of what us is missing
and how I can support it. Yeah, it's going to
be essentially, there's sixteen of us who go on this
(24:54):
tour and we go from Napier after Hamilton, and I've
been told there's a lot of time on bus and
that's where you have your best conversations and that's where
they kind of pull out the insights and things. So
I just can't wait to, yeah, to get into some
of those debty gritty conversations.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
So what's involved with the scholarship?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
So the yeah, I suppose I should say that I
have been selected for the tour by the Rural Leaders.
But the reason I can go on it is because
of the Beef and Lamb Rural Advancement Scholarship and then
the NZI Young Farmer's CenTra as well. That was very
cool to get that way. Scholarship and striding has helped
(25:36):
as well. And so we travel from Napier. We go
and visit as many different value chains in the food,
food and fiber sector as we can. So we visit
things like Rocket Global, mister Apple. We go and have
a look at the robotics companies, and we go to
(25:56):
the Port of Tearong Air, go to zest Free, we
take out Fontierra, visit some Kiwi yorkshires. Yeah, We're just
going visit as many as we can. And about ten
days you're very full on for.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Sure, And you were saying you're on a bus basically
traveling between Napier and Hamilton.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah. Yeah, so we end up up in Hamilton. We
have to do a presentation about you know, the different
value chains that we have seen and then the principles
behind them. So the idea is you're critically analyzing the
value chains and then working out what your value chain
might be able to or you might better fit in
(26:36):
with that. And one thing is that the reason the
program actually started was because during COVID the Nuffield Scholars
were obviously stuck in New Zealand and weren't able to
travel on their usual international tour, and so they pulled
together a New Zealand version, which is where it's come from,
(26:57):
which actually means I'll get to spend these days with
the twenty twenty six Nowfield scholars as well. So yeah,
getting to hear about what they're up to and what
their plans are will be just as exciting, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So likes after this, are you thinking perhaps Sander McDonald
or not Field Scholarship long term?
Speaker 8 (27:14):
I'm sure we'll see where things where things go. We'll
start with this and see what kind of questions I
can get answered, And like I said, the big thing
is is how which people can I connect with and
you know what kind of answers can we start to
pull together and who how do we bring this into
our local communities. Yeah, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Congratulations, Tests, there's certainly something to be celebrated. And good
to see your other half Connor at the supermarket yesterday,
so he knows what the grocery are looks like for
the upcoming months.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Eh, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, just one more thing Andy, Yes,
if there are some people interested in, you know what
the markets might be doing of how impacts airfarms so
iving south and holding the understanding the impact understanding everything
(28:07):
to gain which is on the sixth of May in
Scott Park. I mean all David, and that's going to
be unreal the speakers that we're going to hear from
and really understanding from an international point of view what
all the trade and policy and discussions that we're having
is actually doing. Tour on far.
Speaker 4 (28:25):

you love having a chat in the upcoming months. But
your congratulations once again, col Thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Andy, Tessa.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Noah fantastic to see people at this as well. Just innovative,
just thinking what can we do to add value to
the food chain, So really looking forward to coming out
finding out what Tessa comes out with regarding this. David
Show is up next regarding Edendale crank Up, which is
starting this evening with the street parade before the weekend's activities.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Welcome back. This is the muster on Hakanni.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
David Shure joins us next here is part of the
Edendale Villaders Machinery Club.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Of course it's.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All go of cran Cap happening down at eden Dale,
which is an event being synonymous south end of the
end of January.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
David, good to catch up.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Hey, how are you.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
How's it all going from your guy's perspective.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
Anyway, Well, things are slightly flattened to trickle in through
the gate. Normally Friday's a big set up day. We'll
be having a slightly different lay up this year. Frontier
has got a quite a bit of construction going on,
sort of a tack ups on their tractor paddic, so
visitors will notice a little bit of a different change
in the layup, but we'll still have all the same
(30:00):
entertainments and plenty of all visitors to see and do.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Let's go back to the nuts and bolts at the
event day. But what is the appeal of it?
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Well, you pay your twenty bucks again of the gate
and you can stay all day, and there's all sorts
of things to see and do. You can ride all
sorts of things. You write everything from attraction engine to
a poney you can buy all all sorts of things
from a therapeutic message to a three D printed dinosaur
in the infant of the crafts. Yeah, there's there's just
such a big variety of people think things, the sea,
(30:30):
doing experience and for twenty bucks. What can you buy
for twenty bucks these days?
Speaker 9 (30:34):
That gets you all that.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It seems to be an event that just keeps getting
more popular over time.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
Wow, we like to think.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
So we have people who come every year and I
mean this is their thirty eighth. Now we've been doing
it pretty much for thirty eight years, although it was
a bit humble and are first at beginnings. But yeah,
we've stuck with the two day format since about two
thousand and two, and it just seems to be getting
just as popular as it ever has been.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What's good be there. What's there's always a theme with
the ev is what have we got for this year?
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Well, this this is is theme is Ferguson, Massy Ferguson,
and it's sixty years of Toya.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
And New Zealand.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
Sodas will have one of the first corollas that was
the same word in New Zealand and I think party
more year listers will have had seen driven encountered either
a Fergi or a Toyota. I'm sure they would have.
I'll be very surprised if any of any of you
listen to Heaven. So we'll have everything from early land cruises.
We've got little gray Fergie's, we've got larger Redden gray Fergis.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
So that that's a big thing for this year.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
So when it is a theme, what does it mean
for the event? What happens as such?
Speaker 10 (31:40):
Well, we have extra parades, there'll be scial displays on.
Like I said, is gonna have is going to be
there with with their early Corolla. They'll be got a
little special parades and displays. So if you especially if
you have any sort of interest in fergus or tights,
definitely this is the place to be.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So you're going to have likes the old bulldogs and
there maybe perhaps likes of bring gun carriers.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
Yeah, well, the bulldogs will always be there. They're always
a great interest for for prefer visitors will have them.
Probably Actually our first event at ten a m will
be a bulldog starting, so if you're interested in that,
that that's the time to be.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
The military guys will be along.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
What sort of display they'll have, I'm not sure, but
there'll be probably be trying it, but will work out
what they'll be doing.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And it's an event that captures the imagination and more
ways the one. Yes, you've got all the vehicles, the
heavy vehicles and likes, but if the arts and crafts
is also a big part of.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
It, it certainly is.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
I mean we've had people coming every year for the.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
For crank Up.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
It's a big event for a lot of people in
that sort of commdion and there's very clever people out
there who bring along their weares and it's it's one
of the one the biggest events as well. So it's
definitely not just if you're inter tractors. If you into
crafts or anything like that, there's definitely something for you
to look at too.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Grand parade. When does that happen?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
Well, on the side, the Grand Parade is at three
point thirty and it's at the same time on the
Sunday as well.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I mean, this is old school. You've got the tug
of war, You've got the lovely scrambles, You've got all
the old stuff that you're not really allowed.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
To do these days.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
We're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Good on you, that's what we want to hear.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Now, what's the story with prices? So twenty bucks to
get in if passed cash?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
What do you want people to bring?
Speaker 10 (33:36):
Will have air poss at the gate, please, you definitely
bring cash because there's a plenty of things that's been
it on.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
But yeah, we will have airposs at the gate.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
Please leave your dogs at home because a lot of
air paddocks will be on Fonterira land and due to
hygiene regulations, so please leave dogs tied up and you
just bring yourselves. We'll have good, good weather. We always
have good weather. Even it's raining, it's still Even if
it's even it's raining, it's still good weather.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
South of this. Will just bring a jacket.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
It's exactly.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
The last few years the rain has very kindly sort
of stayed off until after the Grand Parade on Sunday,
so the last two years running, so we'll probably have
that tradition happening again.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Chainsaw sculpting, Yes, interesting.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Very interesting.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
What's to go there?
Speaker 10 (34:25):
Well, the very skilled man comes along and carves bit
of wind with a chainsaw and all sorts of things,
all sorts of different shapes and sizes. We'll have quite
a lot of wood chopping this year as well. There's
be at least these twenty wood choppers and they'll be
running all through the day. I know that's always very
popular to to stay and watch, and there'll be the
wood choppers will be doing their thing pretty much all weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Now, if you're interested in classic truck runs, what's.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
This about, Well, Ken Bell part of one of our
Membersi's sort of set that up and.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
It's sort of a little subdivision of our club.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
They're in the trucks and they organize run runs and
all around the countryside. So definitely Ken's numbers in there
in the program. So given McAll if you want to
set that up. I know there was a few guys
particularly interested in the elder trucks and running them around.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
So the street parade is happening this evening at seven o'clock,
seven o'clock Yep and Edendale and then ten o'clock tomorrow.
It's all go.

my profile here that barbecue Bill is always splendid. We'll
also be having Laura Coot will be speaking as well.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
Yes, and.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
As you're talking about all her are various couplements. Even
thinking about it makes me tired, so but I'm sure
she'll have plenty of plenty of interest to say.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
She may be even cracking the whip too.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
It's all going tomorrow and kids under sixteen three as.

Ansters to get into playing with old tractors, especially because
they're the next generation.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Absolutely, because the sixteen meals spanner and a bit of CRC,

You've got to be able to pick this up by
three o'clock this afternoon at the latest. Text just text
cran Cap to five double O nine with your details
first and first serve. Andrew Ordison wraps the week next
on the Muster. Andrew Ordison of News Talk Zebby joined
(36:59):
us before we wrap up for the week here on
the Muster orders, good afternoon and welcome to a new year.
Speaker 11 (37:07):
Greetings Andy, Yeah, pleasure to be with you again. And yeah,
just well, hoping this summer might finally be kicking in
up north. We've had some pretty grim conditions across the
majority of January, that's for sure, not just I mean
you can gage these says, okay with the haymaking as
to whether the contractors come in and do the baithing
et cetera. And honestly, I don't think since mid December
(37:29):
there's been a window more than three days where there
hasn't been some form of rain forecast or actually eventuate.
And I really feel sorry for them because they just
must limit them during what should be their prime season.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Absolutely mate, And of course you're a South Aukland farming
correspondent as well, and you got a heap of hay
yesterday and it is that time of year where you
should be able to get a couple of days to
get that hay drive and cured.
Speaker 11 (37:52):
Yeah, we're ever hopefully and that this will be the case.
So Oles we have come through and do it. They're
pretty jetic efficient, et cetera. You know, reminder of herself
and the panics there.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Any you're pretty handy throwing the idiot bricks in the shed,
were you?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
What was that on?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
You're pretty handy throwing the idiot bricks and the shed.
Speaker 11 (38:13):
Back in the day you just bog about like lego.
I just love marrying them together, you know in the
back of the shed. Just get a real seat to
achievement out of that and and doing a tidy tidy stack.
But you know, both on the truck and off the truck.
You got to you got to keep things in order.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Putting hay bales away one way of getting rid of rage.
In other ways, getting rid of six seven, eight hundred
a thousand dollar rackets for goodness sake. Of course, Cocoa
got we're talking about she got followed by the cameras
and what she thought was a private space, absolutely going
to town on a racket. Are you what do you
make of all this orders as have we gone too
far as far as wanting to see what our athletes provide?
(38:52):
Or is this just part of the drama?
Speaker 11 (38:54):
She it's certainly part of the drama. But I was
really I think she's quite stand by because ive always
sort of a Cocoa was quite passive, quite quite measured
actually in her disposition over the years. But geez, that
was quite a dark moment. I mean, she really gave
it to that racket. I mean, I don't know, I've
never bashed a racket around it like that, but I
(39:14):
mean I don't maybe just you get so intense in
competition or something like that, just haven't been at that level.
But it was just it was quite a shock to
the system. But I do think too that I go
back to the raphae on the DAR. I mean, he
was always giving that advice in his career that you know,
don't you ever damage a racket done because you know
you're lucky enough to have one. And I wonder there's
(39:37):
a bit of that you have to have to show
a bit more spec there to your equipment, and in
the end, it's you. How important is I suppose? I mean,
she's certainly done well at the tournament, but just yeah,
I just thought it was that was a little shot,
but it almost made it look like it's disposable. She's
not probably paying for it, it'll be sponsored, and I
just thought that. I know she's still young, and but
(39:58):
she's got to really put that into some context there
and rationalize it. And I think it's just because she
was sort of throwing the angle about how, oh there
shouldn't be cameras there, et cetera, et cetera. I mean,
she just didn't go far enough into the dressing room,
you know, to be able to get out of that
view of the camera. But really, since a wider or
a more deep seater this year than that, it's just
(40:19):
her her anger management, I think, and not just her
I mean, there's plenty of players like it, but yeah,
I just think it's you want to you want to
see more mental control for my mind to to really
respect those athletes.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
The Australian Open this year. How have you enjoyed it.
I think it's been great viewing.
Speaker 11 (40:39):
Yeah, it's been dreadful for my sleep, I have to say,
you know, getting up early in the mornings and I
just can't turn the telly off, and I just get
so into some of those games. I love watching it.
I've been really impressed with the amount of drop shots
that seem to be played this year's I think there's
been more of those, which is nice to see a
bit of variety rather than just your crash and ash
(41:00):
with the serve, et cetera. But it's just such a
compelling any of those majors. I just I just get
right wound into them. You know, you just see such
great quality of work with the racket, and I just
I love watching it. There's not really a lot between
some of those top players, but you looked at the
other night fragments like Cinner against Shelton. Shelton played really
(41:22):
well at the times. You know, he's ranked eight in
the World. But Center's second and so just had that
extra capacity with those levers to be able to you know,
push push Shelton around and just that it's a touch
more for Neesse perhaps, and its fine Margins put it
that way.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
The black Caps are over in India. They managed to
get it with in the T twenty series. Will least
be honest, this is all null and void. When the
T twenty Cricket World Cup, that's when we see the
real action it is.
Speaker 11 (41:50):
Actually I'm not too worried about losing those first three
games India. The Indian side, it is tremendously strong. It's
powerful across the board, I think, probably particularly the bat.
But that's ideal build up for New Zealand, I think,
ahead of the actual event itself. I mean, they've already
won the One Day series against India and that's a
pioneering moment itself for New Zealand to go with the
(42:12):
Test series in twenty twenty four in India. But I'm
actually I like what I'm seeing with that team. I
think they're greater than some of their parts. I think
they play really well in New Zealanders and I think
that they will. I think they will contend quite strong.
At least they're having a build up. This time it
was twenty twenty four in the Caribbean, they didn't really
to any great extent and then they were ousted from
(42:33):
ball play. I think that at this time, at least
that is I'm viewing it now, that they'll they'll go
a lot stronger.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Now, Daniel, Hell, are you in the golfing landscape? What
are we expecting for them from the year.
Speaker 11 (42:47):
Look, he is just going from strength to strength, isn't
the idea? I'm loving what contenue Hilly where to get
the opportunity and just seeing how his career is unfolding here.
I mean, once upon a time you might have thought
maybe he might go down that a journeyman track. I
reckon he's genuinely going to contend for like he did
last year, for the USPGA Tour card by season's end.
(43:08):
He's had what four tournaments in the European Tour. So
far this season he's had of those four, he's had
three top six finishes and ties, and even today getting
to third after the first round of the Bahrain Championship
with a six hundred sixty six, it just feels like
he's really found his rhythms, mojo, etcetera. And yeah, he's
(43:32):
going to be contending alongside Ryan Fox for long if
he keeps up this terrific run of form that he's had.
And he just seems to be a really measured character,
well disciplined and doesn't get too fret up about things
on the course. And I think it's really paid dividends
from now after for a few seasons at that top level.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
So it's a fair to say New Zealand golf's at
a pretty good place at the moment.
Speaker 11 (43:56):
Jee. I think it is, isn't it. I mean it's
when you think of what Lydia car World only your
co has achieved over many years now, but what Ryan
Fox and the last years is really coming to his own.
You've got Denny Hill, he got others coming on to
the tour as well. I think, yeah, they would be
pretty happy with where they're at. And he's looking at
the development of the game and he's Zealand. It's not
(44:17):
like we haven't got enough golf courses out there for
people to practice on. You know, it's wonder anywhere you go,
like a long when he stayed highway in the country,
it doesn't stay long before you're seeing a golf course.
It's been carefully managed, sometimes from boas, sometimes from sheep.
But it's it's It's one of the great elements in
the Zealand country.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Life, isn't it well?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
No, no golf course around pocket Coe is safe for
Andrew waldersons in this Hey empire.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
And tell you that much orders. Hey, good on you, mate, You.
Speaker 11 (44:47):
Wouldn't want to be on State Highway twenty two when
I'm sitting your club down the at.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Hey, good on your orders. I always appreciate your time
on the muster. Will chet again?
Speaker 11 (44:57):
Lovely cheers Eddie laugh out loud with ag proud because
life on the land can be a laughing matter.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Brought to us by Sheerwell data working to help the
livestock farmer. How do you make a tissue dance?
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Put a little boogie in it? Kind of relevant today
seeming the music as Casey in the Sunshine Band.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
So we'll leave it there for the week. Dye muw
is my name?
Speaker 1 (45:23):
This has been the muster on Hokanu he chees the
Peterston net. It's best in the Master five Am Tomorrow
podcast up shortly enjoy the weekend.
