Speaker 2 (00:15):
Claire Sutenberg from Beef and Lamb New Zealand joins us
on this Thursday clear, good afternoon, Kylie Minogue. Are you
a fan?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Well, maybe I'm we allowed to admit that she was pretty.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well once upon a time omitting you're a Kyler Minogue fan?
Was very much a faux papa. This day and age,
she's pivoted away from what her original sound was and
she's actually got some not too bad of songs. I
would have thought, No.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
She's not too bad. She's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
There is worse music that I've played on the show.
Let's be perfectly honest. Beef and Lamb. You're the sudden
extension manager for Southern South Island. Has been pretty busy lately.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Here's yep. We've had quite a bit going on. In
between a trip to and for three days last and
then following into our final fun of profit field day
out at Argyle Station last week that was focusing on fertilizer.
We had Milton Monroe and Tim Buckley come along and
(01:17):
talk about fertilizer application and looking at what put on
and weird to spread it. Particularly in a year that
we've had where a lot of people have reduced the
amount of fertilizers that are putting on.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
There seems to be a common seem at the moment too,
but highly relevant getting bang for back when it comes.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
To fred it is a real key point out of
the day was prioritizing where you're going to put it
and ensuring that you actually do put it on because
production is what you want. Production drives profitability and fertilizer
will will help with that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So what else has been happening with beef and land,
Like you say, is that time of year things are
starting to come together. We are.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
There's been a couple of graduations, so I attended the
Growing Future Farmers graduation in Lundon last Friday night. Really
impresses the team that graduated, Amy Priest, who is the
driver of Growing Fruiture Farmers down here. She does a
great job of the team. I was also at the
Wisitago show over the weekendst Tea and coffee and smiling
(02:24):
lady everyone there and mean Tuesday this week we had
the Generation Next final Module Module three in graduation at Telford.
So that was a great day.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, you're telling me you're fear about going through Funny again,
There's nothing more intriguing than going through a processing works
I reckon we did.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
We were lucky enough silverf and Farms we organized the
plant tour through Swunagan. We got to take the whole
group through, so there was twenty twenty graduates plus a
couple of us from Beef and Lamb. We went through
both the beef and the sheep processing plants. We saw
(03:05):
the animal from when it was processed right through to
the packeting of the final product. So it was really
impressive and the team there were so welcoming and the
knowledge that they had of what they're doing, why they
were doing it was really really cool.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You want to talk about focus groups happening down here
in the South claar.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh we do. So in Southland there is going to
be quite a There will still be a lot of
the beef and lamb events and workshops that used to
seeing delivered. And as last week you would have heard
from Fiona Young, the new new regional Extensure Managers. That's
a newly created role formed role. So between Fiona and
(03:54):
I this delivery season will have our usual events and workshops,
plus a real focus on stakeholder partnerships. And my role
in particular has shifted into facilitation of what we are
calling focus groups. So these have been driven out of
(04:14):
need identified across the country. Actually it's a nationwide rollout
and these have just been released as of yesterday or launch,
sorry I should say as of yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And what are they all about?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So a focus group is if you're familiar with a
discussion group or an r MPP driven group, a focus
group is similar to that and the fact that it's
a small group of farmers with a shed interest of
a particular topic. So the difference in these groups from
a discussion group is that a focus group is objectives driven,
(04:51):
so we're looking for a particular outcome. We know what
we're doing across period of about two years. Over the
last year, the extension team from across New Zealand, so
the beef Lamb Extension Team, have been putting together particular
groups or topics that have been driven by each region's RDP,
(05:16):
the Regional Development Plan. These sort of look at different
topics across the region. So in Southland, our first three
groups are going to be focused on animal production and
financial management. So each of the so we're going to
(05:38):
have three groups released or hessorry have been launched ass
yesterday and two are animal production and one is financial management.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
So it's all about beef OFLNE just looking at strategies
moving forward.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, so the focus group has so for example, the
Animal Production group is looking at driving production performance, looking
at key drivers on farm benchmarking, looking at animal health plans,
past management and farm systems which will optimize your productions.
(06:14):
So that group will look at these key topics focus
on that for a period of about two years, with
the start well the first year being a real learning journey,
so identifying where they can improve, where our farmers can
improve animal production. In the second year looking at actually
(06:36):
implementing the changes on farm and sharing that with farmers.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Farmer just finally clear anything in the way of events
coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So we're slimming down majorly for the year. But we
have a webinar coming up next Thursday night, which is
actually we've been our series that we've had called Fits
for Farming. It'll be Cane Brisco next Thursday night at
seven thirty So you can register online at Beef and Lamb,
