Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fifteen minutes to eight o'clock. That's hit down to the
get one up. Actually what we're saying down up to
the garden city and get out my name, report out
of christ Rob Cope Williams. Good morning Rob, how yang?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh good Greg? You did to say good it's going
to geographically it's not really am probable.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Wow, that's true, that's true. But in time then I
always get told down there. But you've been a bit
cold up there, and the last few days.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I have, Buddy, would I tell you what we think
there's fabulous. But my comparison, Craig is it's like harvesting
everything in the summer and putting them in the deep
freeze for the winter. This the other way around. What
we're doing now is we've got the snow, which is
irrigation water for the for the summer. I think it
was great. It all seeps in. The stuff on the
(00:47):
plains is brinny. That's going to fill it up and
give us a really good spring. And of course that
they as you know perfectly well, that the alpine rain,
some of the alpine snow, is going to fill up
the neck with us. So we are steering down the
barrel buddy, you have a very good spring and an
excellent summer. So yep, we're dancing. We're absolutely favor us
up here.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Did you get quite a bit of snow on then, digit.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah we had snow right down regular went under snow,
which is first time for a long wrong, long time.
So yeah, we had a butt up here. Yeah there,
we had a cracker.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, and he sleeps in. It's a perfect time to
get a bit of moisture out of the fields.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And then you're right, the flowing effect from the Alps
down into the lakes and fill that up and irrigation
and all the things there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The big benefit. The timing could not be better, Craig.
I mean, it was just what we need is a
couple of Norway. There's a bit of fact. We're getting
cross which is okay. That kills all the aphids and
rubbish and the beautiful fine day. So that were we're
very optimistic, which is nice after about twelve months of
me minging and moaning and we would go, oh god, Coke,
(01:51):
we'll at it again.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'll actually coming up on next week later in the week,
so actually, and I'm out at New Zealand cricket hype
warm Lincoln and you've got Lincoln University goes hands on
for students.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, we do it. What they're basically doing is they're saying, okay, guys,
get out of the laboratory and get out of the
lecture theater and get down and get dirty. It's the
one thing that the students to actually not actually just
have theory, but a practical. So they're taking them out
into the orchards and into the vineyards and all that
(02:24):
sort of thing and giving them hands on so they
can see the diseases on the leaves, they can see
what is happening, what shouldn't be happening, and it'll give
them a wider perspective. And it's stressingly enough, Craig, they're
also going to be stirring and so Maori production theory
and practical as well. And that's interesting because you know,
(02:45):
we're a hold of money was given to them. There
was about ten million or something by the previous government
to research it as in Themori community. But it is
catching on out at the university, which is interesting. I mean,
they were farming well before we got here. And I
think the other thing is it looking at the Maoris
situation and the whole hands on But that's trying very
(03:09):
hard with sustainability and reducing chemicals. So we'll keep an
eye on it. We'll keep we'll see what, see what unfolds.
But yeah, the messages, get down and get dirty, find
out what's really happening.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Out I'll get practically right, get out of the fairy
books and next get real life experience and uricon farmers
will better off. They didn't not a farm.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Great border was a terrible thing, and I got bored,
so I said, okay, let it. Let's research the incomes,
because you know, you hear all these CEOs are early
millions of dollars and going to stows what so and
the median wage from everybody in New Zealand and the
sixty one thousand and six hundred. Okay, so put that mine.
Put it in the back of your mind. Basically, managers
(03:51):
on sheep and beef farms averaging sixty six and a
half thousand. If you're a worker you get fifty two
thousand and eight and farm hands who basically and the
sort of the lowest of the pecking order if you'd
like to be if you don't mind my term anology.
Sty're averaging about forty nine thousand dollars. Farm owners, Craig,
(04:13):
are averaging fifty one thousand. So basically, if you're a
worker on a farm earning more than a farmer.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, less risk as well.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah well yeah, you get to sleep at night. Yeah,
that's right. Yeah, So that was just as I said, bored,
it was a terrible mistress.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You wouldn't like to work out the eli raid on,
that would jo, because it's certainly not eight hours a day.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I yeah, we'll we make that about eighty hours a day.
And I made eighty hours a week a minimum. Yea,
that's a good thing. You see here, if I'll get bored,
I work out.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I'll seeing you some stats I needed to be done
for cricket, and maybe you could help save me sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, that's the thought, Craig. I could sit there and
gaze out the window the dare for those and think, yeah,
that's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, me, the average score in the first six overs
of twenty two any game a woman's credit.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
There's a week trick for you.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
