Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport out
of Farm Advisors, New Zealand, Egg Safe New Zealand. Jim
Finlay joins us this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Morning Gym, and good morning, Brian.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I guess the heads up firstly that you know, for
you and your weekly newsletter this week are wanting to
farmers about calf sheds getting ready for carving not far away.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Absolutely. The first of July comes around very very quickly
for some reason, and most carving gets started somewhere between
the sort of the tenth and the twentieth of July,
so you know it's not long to go. So you've
got to get all those things already, had the calf
sheds cleaned out, properly disinfected, You've got to have all
your metabolic stuff on hand. You've got to be right
(00:44):
ready for carving to get going, really, Brian.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, there's a quite a checklist for farmers there, right,
And let's have a look and see how the markets
are performed in this past week. The dairy, for instance,
down just a tiny wee bit, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It was? Yeah, we're just sort of watching that at
the moment it moved down a little bit. It was
actually last week it moved down a little bit, and
it's still steady at the moment, and we're just hoping that,
you know, just a little few little creaks up and
down not really going to affect the payout because we
really do need that eight dollars at the moment. And
AGG first put out their economic report which really showed
(01:19):
the dairy industry not conturbly flash lights in some ways.
Of the payout stays below that eight bucks.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
All right, what about the rest of the markets.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Right, we'll just quickly run through them, and we look
at our eighteen kg Yxlam's steady in boat the north
and south at six twenty five in the north and
six dollars thirty in the south. The twenty one KGMX
mutton is two dollars sixty in the north and two
seventy five in the south. Our beef schedules are all
steady with the p two steers are two seventy to
two ninety five kg. Wake range is five dollars fifty
(01:49):
in the northern five forty in the south. The boner
cow the one sixty to one ninety five kg cow
is three dollars sixty in the North and three dollars
seventy in the south. Our two seventy to two ninety
five a range bullweight is five to sixty in the
North and five to twenty in the South, and our
sixty kg venison on the stag is steady in the
North at eight dollars sixty five and in the South
(02:11):
at eight dollars a seventy five brand And.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The New Zealand dollar I think fairly steady at the moment,
isn't it, which is good news for exporters.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It has been has been steady for the last sort
of several weeks, sitting around for that sort of sixty
to sixty one and a half cents against the US dollar,
which is really good for the exporters. They can do
a little bit of planning and they can just get
their their products sort of priced a little bit easier,
and it makes it really good for them. But the
Brent crew is sneaking up just a little bit. It's
up to eighty five dollars a barrel at the moment,
(02:42):
But it's just nice for those auckland as if the
price of petrol is coming down a little bit this
morning with that regional fuel tax coming off, But at
eighty to eighty five dollars a barrel for the Brent crew,
our fuel price is fairly steady as to where they
are at the moment.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Your weekly rant this week is a good read actually,
and it comes on the back of the clampdown by
police across the weekend on boy races right across the country.
But law and order has been front and center, hasn't
it With boot camps for young offenders.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, it has been. There's been a lot of talk
about it, and you know they've said in the past
yet they've worked, they haven't worked, But you know, it
takes a lot of input to help someone who's been
involved in a criminal of activity and that to really rehabilitate,
and it would become part of society. Now they're talking
about the ones going to the boot camps will be
those between fourteen and seventeen who have committed two offenses
(03:32):
punishable by ten years of imprisonment. Well, you know, I hope,
like hell if there's not so many of those young
fellows around at the moment, but so, you know, the
boot camps might be empty, but yeah, it's a matter
of getting alongside them. And we've been involved with a
few over the years, and we had a gang boss
come and work on the farm a number of years ago.
And you know, there's a forty year input into this
guy that we've had, and you know, it's been it's
(03:55):
been a lot of fun. We've enjoyed the guy around.
But the real flow on effect I think, Brian, that
I've felt has happened is that you know, a lot
of his family have kept away from a life of crime,
which is good. You know, his son and his nephews
and things and all that's been very, very positive. And
it's because of the influence that he's had. But the
input that we had to put in as a family
(04:15):
to try and help this guy rehabilitate into society.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I mean, it requires, as you see saying your news,
let a long term involvement to mentor and support individuals, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It absolutely, And it was only you know, this was
forty years ago we met this guy, and it was
last year he sort of turned up. He was having
a few problems and he stayed for about a week
just to sort of get away and settle down and things,
and it is it's a long, long term involvement, and
you've got to be there. And some of the young
ones that they've said, you know, let's put them out
(04:47):
on farms and see what happens to them. Well, someone's
actually ready got to act like a mother and a
father to them, Brian, and ready take them under their
wing and care for them. And we've got another young
fellow at the moment from a different area who is
of it from the fetal alcohol syndrome, and he's got
some real problems that we're looking at to see how
we can help him and support him through the thing.
(05:07):
And he's got a job at the moment, and you know,
we've just got to encourage him to keep there and
keep in touch with him and just push it along.
And he's got the potential to end up in a
pretty bad sort of way if he doesn't watch out.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
All right, good read, actually, so check it out the
weekly economic report from Jim Fina. Nice to catch up, Jim.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
