Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good afternoon, and welcome to the muster on Hakanui. We're
here until two o'clock and the show, of course, is
brought to you by Peter's Genetics. My name's Andy Muir,
thanks to your company. On an overcast afternoon here in
g Town. Phil Duncan of Weather watches along later on
in the hour to give a rundown the southern weather
for the next seven days without further ado, though straight
(00:32):
into it in excess is the music today. The late
Great Michael Hutchins involved, of course.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hakanui's five day forecast with twin farm teff from and
soft text. The proof is in the progeny tear from
dot co dot Instead.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
This afternoon cloudy, we're breezing or easterly's in twenty three.
Friday afternoon showers of Easterly's forming seven and eighteen. Saturday
mostly cloudy with west Norwester's forming eleven is seventeen Sunday
morning showers of breezy westerlies eleven and seventeen, and on

(01:09):
So it's temperatures to hand Clinton fifteen point one. Harriet
thirteen point six Northern South and fourteen point seven, Ratherton
fifteen point three to now fourteen point six, Winton and
Woodland's both fourteen point one. Joseph Mooney, MP for South
Cats off the show this afternoon talking about the fuel situation.
What does it mean for New Zealand. I mean, we're
(01:30):
hearing these stories about fuel rationing occurring in Australia. How
are we looking here in New Zealand in a situation
that seems to be evolving by the hour. Warren Ross
farms at way Mumoo, I think while saying earlier and
the correspondents said he's having a pretty good season to
date when we're hearing the parts of the South that
have been pretty dry and yeah, it just goes into
(01:52):
a bit of detail of he's done the oystering thing
to start the season. Tells us how that's all unfolded
for you. Only Young of Beef and Lamb Zealand talks
about a few things that are coming out with Beef
and Lamb on the Horizon, Phil Duncan and weather Watch
giving a proper detailed look at the Southern forecast for
the next seven days of your Logan Sava the Southland Tribune.
(02:13):
What is happening with Raby Park at the moment. Further
to our discussion, is a lot to be a plan
in place, and how are they going to pay for
all this money into the kiddie to get Rebby Park
back to where it once was. Dave Morrison and PGG
rights and gives us a rundown on the Charlton sale.
That was how this morning. Then we'll start the yeld.
Joseph Mooney, This is the muster until two o'clock thanks
(02:35):
to Peter Genetics. Joseph Mooney joins us. He is the
MP for Southland. Good afternoon, Joseph. The song is mystified
by inexcess. It is rather mystifying trying to predict where
these fuel prices are going to end up.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Oh you good?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Governments of Stilus and Minister or advisory group who have
ranged different ministers and chief executives across you know a
number of different related portfolios to watch us really closely,
and they met last night for the first time. So
it is Look, it's a snipping event that's happened, happening
at the moment, and you know that's golf and it's
(03:25):
it's about twenty percent of world's oil supplies, about twenty
percent of the world's guest supplies and around the world's
fertilized supplies flow through there, and it's obviously the biggest
disruption well probably the last century really, So there's no
reason for alarm in New Zealand on the information we've
(03:45):
got available. But now we've got our just thrial supplies
coming to us. But so it's certainly something watching very
very closely.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Do you think Megan Woods looks back at Marsden Point
deciding to shut it thinking, yeah, maybe in hindsight not
a good idea.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Look, we've had a few debates on this over the
last two weeks and there's no indication that they think that.
I mean, their argument is that they didn't close it,
but they allowed it to close, and it was I
remember seeing a letter sent to then Finance Minister from
I think it was Channel Infrastructure just you know, with
(04:23):
the settings that didn't really stack up around you know
what they're going to have to look there forward, costs,
things were going to be for climate change mitigation, et cetera.
You know, around the cartmen pricing and asking for us.
I think some direction from government from memory, and they
obviously didn't get that and made it a commercial decision
(04:45):
to shut it down. But you know the government allowed
the government at the time allowed that to happen. And
so you couple that with the oil and gas band
in New Zealand. So we've lost, you know, traction on
exploring for and drilling for new all the guess opportunities
New Zealand. They look we thought they had done decisions
(05:07):
at the time, and they really look pretty bad decisions now,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Does this bring you the question even more though New
Zealand's commitment to the Powers Accord Joseph, given this so
ongoing situation with Iran.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well it's quite frankly, the Paris Agreement shouldn't require that
because the Paris Agreement says that each country should be
the most ambitious it can be based on its national circumstances.
The last government didn't focus on what New Zealand could
do based on the national circumstances. They focused on what
New Zealand could do in a global equity basis, and
that's how we ended up with a target that was
(05:41):
based on buying credits. You know, at some point in
the futures and meet these targets which the then Minister
James Shaw quite clearly spilled out the Cabinet could not
be met and Treasury advised that seventy percent plus of
those targets would have to have to come from olshare.
So the last government quite delivered at least at the
target that could not be achieved in New Zealand, rather
(06:03):
than focusing on what the Paris Agreements says, which is
that you should be most again based on your nationial circumstances.
So they didn't base they didn't focus on New zealand
national circumstances. So the problem is not with Paris Agreement,
it's the way that the last government applayed it. Like
I say, the Paris Agreement sees that you should be
the most ambitious you can be based on your national circumstances.
It doesn't say that you should focus on what other
(06:25):
countries don't else around the world and support their projects,
which is effectively what last government decided to focus on
rather than focusing on what New Zealand could do.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Do you see any positives coming out of the situation
for New Zealand as a trading nation and especially regarding
exports possibly being on a bit of a rise at
the moment with the dollar weakening against the major currencies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Well, look, we're a major food exporter, you know, small
in global terms from most most things that you know,
we're significant, certainly particularly dairy meat, et cetera. And so
I think the prices of those are likely to increase.
And obviously the I think we're gonna have to pay
close attention to is what that means for domestic consumers
(07:10):
for food prices here.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And it's on eighty three cents to the Aussie dollar
at the moment, not that long ago though considering Parcy.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, it's always bounces around the Yeah, but I mean
the frustration for our current finance minister is that she
just got the Treasury's forecasts which has shown that we've
actually grown I think it's about one point seven percent,
and we're on track for huge growth of three percent.
(07:39):
It's going to be double Australia's growth.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Obviously we're going to have to sort of reclculate that
given what's going on with the Middle East at the moment.
But we we up until this this Middle East happens,
which is good, just have to see how that plays out.
We weren't actually on track to I mistake Australia's growth,
So it's a moving feast.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The Primary Production Select Committee was, how the meeting was?
How this morning? You got a bit of news for
us there.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, No. My neighbor and colleague Miles Anderson was
elected the chair of the committee this morning. He's been
deputy chair until this point and I happened to just
be asked to suburn, so I was there for the
vote this morning, so he would do a great job.
Mark Camras, you done a great job. He's obviously had
(08:28):
some really slick and health issues, so he's going to
remain on the committee. But Miles andson will were taking
the chair from the here on out.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Just exactly what does the Primary Production Select Committee do?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It examines any legislation that's relevant to the primary sector. Really,
he's from a whole raft of different people and organizations
about matters relevant to primary sector. And you know it's
sort of run and ruler over the rule. You know,
(09:09):
different German organizations that broadly connected to the primary sector,
but you know, not not just sort of things like
the Outdoor Commission. You know, for example, they get looked
at by them, so it's yeah, I bring it's a
broader remit than just things that are strictly related to
primary production.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What I could show tomorrow, Joe, are you turning up?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yep, no, sure will be. Yeah, looking forward to it.
It's an amazing show. And yeah, it's a lot of
people my miles are telling me more country than in
the Southern field days. I'm I'm not quite so sure.
We'll have that debate, but both amazing shows and I
think it should be a really good event, well as
(09:53):
it always does well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The total there is forty two five hundred debat. Joseph
Meaney will talk about this tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I got another card it gimme.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Joseph Mooney MP for South and yeah, the whole fuel situation,
it's a moving feast at the moment as well. Download
the guest we app if you haven't got it too.
It gives you an idea of what is happening with
the fuel prices and listen to the muster on Hakanui. Next,
we're going to catch up with Warren Ross farming at
Way Moomoo and living like a King on seafood Lately
(10:23):
by the sounds of it. This is the Muster on Hakanui.
We're away to Wai Mooi next to catch up with
Warren Ross, our resident fishing and rallying corresponded here on
(10:47):
the muster coincidentally, Well, good afternoon, hell.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Six yeah afternoon andy en listeners.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
How's it been over the past couple of weeks? You
went away, you did your fishing trip. We'll talk about
that shortly, but freshly. Ground conditions at way m A
few areas around the south still after some moisture. But
it sounds as though you're looking pretty good.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Yeah, no, we're we're sitting pretty good, i'd say so.
Since we've been away and come back. It's yeah, we've
had plenty of moisture and grasses taking along quite nicely
for the autumns now. We're sitting in quite a good place.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So the caves are pretty much where you want them
to be.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, so there's yeah, we would just wan some cows
and calves years today, dy before and yeah, they are
just going onto you know, six rade inches feed, good
green lush feed, so you know there's in all the
honds and fawns are on short well not short feed,
but good nice green grass, and yeah, it's the just
(11:40):
going along quite nicely.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
How many cows do you run?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
We carved down about one hundred and forty or fifty
this year, so all those calves are actually worth like
gold at the moment. So we're just going to plan
with what what we're gonna do with them.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You see, what do you think of this autumn sales perhaps,
or what are you going to mind?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Weren't in the past we've actually just sold all our
hair for bulls live and then sold all the stairs
and then brought in a few usual heihers just to
make up numbers. So then we've just got one line
of animals to worry about for the winter. But this
year I'm not sure whether it'd sell the whole lot
or or just yeah, to keep them. We're doing so,
(12:21):
but they're talking some good money for them anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So you're just you're basing your decisions and what the
market's going to do. And now you believe pretty favorably, well,
I think.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
So, yeah, and so that's what I'm aiming to do
at the moment. So that's we're in a we're in
a good position at the moment anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
As far as the rat starting. Is that in the
full mode yet.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
We got all our size are out with the with
the hinds. So yeah, there a couple of big boys
starting to get quite dominant. But I haven't actually heard
a lot of roaring going on from our velper heard
yet actually, so they must be starting cranking it very soon.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You was there? What brings it on? The roaring as such?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
And that mob, I guess it's the where the sires
will probably get come on season. Weaved earlier due to
that the Hind's been with them. But our guests for
the beveling mab is all to do with the weather.
So soon as you start getting a few cooler, cooler
nights mornings, I wish we've been getting now, sir, I
would have thought they would. Yeah, we begin into it,
but they are they are on the part of the farm,
(13:20):
so I may not hear them.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So it's just a matter of these longer nights you're
going to hear a bit more noise and it's pretty
distinguishable with the sound as well.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Oh no, absolutely a so yeah, yeah, it's a longer nights,
call the mornings and so forth that that sort of
brings them all on. To say, sir, Yeah, that ll
cranking it very soon.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Nice would have thought, well.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
At the moment of Villa's moisture, you've had your window
crops and the lights they'll be singing.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, no, wonder crops are looking good as just having
a drive around, you know, he's got home on said days,
just having a drive around and you know the crops
are doing well, and we've got the sculptor on there
for a bik just yesterday morning, I think it was. Yeah,
we sort of sat onto the probably maintenance rereadliser next
week on a guest, you know, just to get into it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
The diesel situation especially, you're hearing these stories in rural
Australia about rationing being an issue at the moment, Are
you concerned about that kind of thing happening over here
giving your operation.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yes to no. But we actually don't barn a lot
of diesel this time the year now on, so we're
probably pretty pretty lucky in that respect, so hopefully, yeah,
hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. So we're
lucky enough aventually, and we were out of fuel there
before we went to stood Oland, so we thought her
up before we left and not knowing that, not knowing
(14:34):
that what was going to happen this week, you see.
So we were quite quite lucky in that respect.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And you would have got that for under a dollar
fifty as well, probably wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, or the deed I'm not sure how much it was,
but yeah, the deesel was under a dollar fifty. So no, yeah, yeah,
we struck that one lucky.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, just it was a case of the unknown this
time last week with the sales happening, then you were
able to you know, fell up at the tank for
about a dollar in the mid dollar fifties at the
moments on discount day of two dollars twelve.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
So it's amazing, what strange here, what one week can
do do do the things they So it's probably the
biggest thing for us is just what happens with the
fertilizer prices. But insane, that's probably all right for the
season or guess so we'll be going onto the next
was probably gonna be the challenge for furt Lizer.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So how did you get on with fishing? You're a
fishing fishing guru here on the muster. You were away
for a while and judging were some of the photos
you were scending during a said meeting if you might
talk about that. It went pretty good.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, no, absolutely, you know, we had a pretty good
seven eight days and Denshode Islands so where there is
mostly pretty good. So yeah, no, I think there was
just one day I was a bit rough of that Friday.
Friday Friday the sixth must have been was pretty average
down there, but still mention to get it for a
dove I anyhow, So no, eving was pretty good down there.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
As far as the oysters, how are they looking?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Actually feel they were slightly better than our last year
to be fare, so we were certainly we were diving
for them and that they there are certainly a lot
more pintiful than what they were have been the last
couple of years. So fingers crossed the stocks and won't
be s g ok this year.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So when you're down there, you're just living on the
food groups Cray first power in blue card more re lease. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So yeah, so we yeah, yea oystery ahead. A few
scallops season still open. It might be closed now actually,
but the still still opened last week and I think
it's about the tenth of closers. So you know, we
had oysters and scallops, Blue Card, Cray, First Power and.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah we get the guests of it. Well.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Even meant to get some mutton birds as well last
last season's one, of course. But yeah no, So we
were living off the ocean pretty pretty well.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Really was a busy on straight.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
East and we we didn't venture too far out into
the Strait from from Street Islands because no need to.
When we were going across, we didn't see anything on
the on the twenty eighth went across, didn't seem not
many boats out. Then when we came home, you saw
a couple in the distance, but there was quite a
few trailers in the car pack, So I guess they're
(17:08):
out on Straight somewhere. But I suppose that's the Row
Strait is such a big area that when you're on
the water, it's very hard to see anybody. So it's
you know, you might see our boat there or here
or there whatever, but it's yeah, there must be a
lot out there somewhere, but you never see.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Them as far as the roads and Stewart Island. Bruce
Ford was saying recently that the due to be received
was any of that occurring while you were over there,
just as a side note.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Well, the idea, I think I did see Folkenhagen orhoever
someone drive around I think doing some potholes and a
few repairs. So from from last year this year there
had been some roading, reservicing as well done as well,
So I just can't quite recall we didn't venture into
town too often to be fare so well.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
You don't need to your self sufficient, living off the land,
living off the ocean.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
That's right, you know. So we may have, we may
have visited the the office over there once or twice,
but apart from that, it's yeah, it's a hardy vnion
in town at all.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Good on you. We'll let you carry on. Always appreciate
your time. Yeah, good Andy, Larren Ross living like a
king literally off the land there off in Frovo straight.
I mean, it's one of the perks of being down
here right, living close to such a fantastic resource. Up next,
we're going to catch up with f On Young out
(18:29):
of Beef and Lamb New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (18:38):

Absolutely yes, So if you're interested in attending, jump online
to our events and you'll find all the information, date, location,
in timing there. Absolutely, and we've encourage people to attend.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like we say, I call it the cheese roll factor.
If you're on an extra cheese roll, you've got to
put your name down to to tell people you're turning
up so they can get the grill ready.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Right, Undoubtedly, Yes, yes, and they'll definitely be I'm sure
there'll be beef and lamb at some point during the day.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Absolutely, I'm sure there will field days, beef and Lamb's
got quite a bit of stuff coming up on the horizon,
I believe, well, we do.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Actually I just would say, excellent day at the Lindsay's
place on Tuesday, so we had field Day. They're clear
organized and absolute and Anna Erwin organizer cracking Farming for
Profit Day. So that was Tuesday. That's just been but
actually and then of course we've had the Wye Moment
field Days. We're now into one off a show, so
(21:21):
really would like to encourage anyone who's up there at
the WANTA have to show at three pm on Friday
thirteenth Bee from the New Zealand in the Agri Exchange,
which is sort of I guess towards the town side
of the one A show, and you'll be joined by
Kate Aklin, Minister and your hoguard and we have Hayley
van Loins from Craig's Investments for a networking hour, so
(21:43):
they'll be talking and there'll be some refreshments and we'll
be looking forward to a good turnout and some good
strong discussion.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Plenty happening.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
And in this year, I have to say in there
as we lead into an election and there's lots of
legislation changes and great kind of outlooks on the horizon
for albeit a little bit softened.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
At the moment with what's going on overseas.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
But yes, three PM be at the Airy Exchange at
the Wanaka Show.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, quite a bit happening around the world at the moment.
But you can only control what you can inside the
farm gate. You just got to let things take its course,
and it's all about just doing your management right and
just the obvious. I suppose that's right.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
And beef and lamb in the.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Last few years have really got back to kind of
a behind the farm gate approach to the work we're
doing with our focus groups and field days and some
of the workshops we're putting on. We're really wanting farmers
to actually hone in on production and productivity, and we've
got kind of the data and the science that we're
collecting as well on their behalf that will help inform
some of that training. So yes, that's absolutely right. Worry
(22:44):
about the things you can at the moment. We're wanting
to make the most out of our pasture. Put weight
on lambs it actually use as we get ready for
mating and get those beefees grown out so that we
can actually get them out the door. So yes, yeah,
definitely hind the farm gate, control the things that you
can control.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
As far as I want it can show. Have you've
been to it lately yourself?
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Oh well, actually it's truth be told. I went for
the first time last year. You get it around and
chatted beef and lamb two people and had had some
great conversations. It seems to be in the same first
time I've ever been there, so pretty sort of relaxed
the event. Great chance to kind of catch up with people,
talk to other people. Good chance for us to kind
of you know, get beef and lamb on the people's
(23:29):
minds and actually hear what people are thinking as well
make sure that we're on track with the work we're
doing that production productivity focus. So yeah, it should be
a good couple of days and looking forward to that
event on Friday at three pm.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That's exactly what we heard about regarding Southern Field Days
at way Moomi for you owner, the conversations that we
had and just the vibe as you'd like to call it,
it was fantastic And I think tomorrow Wanaka is going
to be no exception.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Absolutely, and look, you know, there is a good vibe.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
There's a really strong feeling quite frankly, farmers deserve it,
our sheep and beef farmers deserve it after you know,
quite a period of things really not been that great.
So and it's you know, it's good to see people
are investing in the.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
R and M.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
They're doing the repairs and maintenance, they're catching out for
the last few years, but also taking a breath as well,
and just you know, that's that's a great thing for

An excess of Jimmy Barnes.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Oh gosh, no, I have to say an excess absolutely
Michael Hutchon's hands down. But then, but then, and those
were the days when actually went to quite a few concerts,
so there was some excellent you know. We had Billy,
we had Billy Joel, we had you too, we had
who was the other one was going to say o
di Strates came and giving too much a ways here
(25:15):
about music taste.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, I remember when dive Strates came over. It was
I think about nineteen ninety one. It was just when
CDs were coming out and you buy the t shirts
for five bucks of.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Eight and jays god, there you go.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
And actually, without wanting to go on too much about this,
I also got to see the Whalers, so Bob Marley's
been a bit of a massive treat. And oh who
was the Icelandic great with the York as well? Yes,
saw her in concert. Yeah, just next level amazing.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
So those were the good old days.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well we we did the Finger Boys last year, so
you didn't have to but we'll leave it at that.
Good on your FI catch up next time.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Welcome back to the muster. It is time to catch
up with there resen't weather man Phil Duncan of weather Watch,
(26:29):
Elanas Morrissette. Feel free to give us a shout out
if you're listening. Good on your feel How are you,
I'm very good, mister Muir.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, pretty good. It's been well, not too bad weather wise.
It's settled down over the past couple of days. But
I was up in parts of northern Southland over the
week hid and I'll tell you what it was rather dry. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
We are seeing the dry conditions expand out of central Otago.
You know, there are parts of Southland that are pretty
good from a rainfall point of view, and then patches
that are drying out, and in fact, the drying out
patches is a nationwide issue. I just literally this morning
wrote my column for the Farmer's Weekly newspaper for next week,
and the columns all about so the last month or
(27:11):
so of weather and what we've been experiencing, and one
of the things that stood out to me was the
fact that there are a number of regions that are
now quite dry in both main islands, especially in the
North Island. But the South Island, South Canterbury Otago area,
along with Nelson and Marlborough, they're all quite a lot
drier than usual at the moment. And then of course
that is now spreading around parts of Southland as well.
(27:33):
So it's but I still think Southland overall is doing
pretty good when you compare it to other regions.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
At least the only parts of the region have been dry.
I'll just reiterate that as well. It's Spain intriguing, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I mean the temperature one, that's the one that stood
out to me more than anything, is that the nationwide temperatures. So,
with the exception of Stuart Island and Fjordland, not exactly
our two biggest farming region, everywhere in New Zealand has
been colder than average over the last couple of weeks. Everywhere,
(28:07):
and not even by a small amount, Like most of
the North Island was two degrees below average. And that
might not sound like much, but to give you an
idea of when you're talking about trends of average temperatures,
the key only goes up to two degrees either way
above or below average. So when you're seeing most of
the North Island that the highest you know on the
key on the knee was maps that does say something.
(28:30):
So the North Island a couple of degrees below average
almost everywhere, the South Island a lot of places over
a degree below normal, if not two degrees in some areas.
Most of that is actually in the top half of
the island. So the further south you go in New
Zealand over the last month, the closer you've been to
more normal temperatures. But even like Southland's been below average,
(28:52):
which I'm sure is no shock to you, but not
as much as say other parts of the country. So
it's been you know, we had a cloudy, gloomy January.
We've had temperatures down nationwide over the last month, and
we're seeing rainfall taper off. So it's going into a
bit of a drier, coolest start to autumn this year
in a general sort of sense.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So we're just going to see a continuation for the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah, I don't really see any sort of major swings
just yet. So we've got a warm day today, you
guys are around the mid twenties today. Tomorrow cools down
a wee bit eighteen seventeen Saturday, sixteen Sunday, so sort
of a gradual slide there, but the overnight lows you know,
ten degrees tonight, seven degrees tomorrow, eleven Saturday, eleven Sunday, ten, Monday,
(29:40):
eleven Tuesday. These are warm nights. It does drop next week,
you know, maybe next Friday could be only fourteen as
a maximum and a low of five. So I see
no frosts in the next week ahead. I see a
lot of temperatures that are maximum temperatures in the mid
to late teens and lows out of the frost zone.
(30:01):
And a few showers in the mix as well. Not
huge amounts of rain, but you know, frequent sort of
showers or spits of rain are in the forecast every
day or two, and so that'll add up to maybe
ten or twenty millimeters over the coming ten days. So
it's probably a pretty good forecast.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
You're pretty much just wrapped up what we've had for
the past three or four months here is that the
weather is not going to change over the next couple
of weeks.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, exactly, And that's really what we're seeing long range,
a lot of high pressure coming out of Australia. You know,
the high pressure zones are more powerful than they were
a month ago, two months ago, so the air pressure
back in sort of January, we get a lot of
high pressure systems that were only you know, ten sixteen,
ten nineteen hector pascals. Now they're ten twenty eight, ten thirty,
(30:48):
so they're more powerful and that means that you know
you have a they will last longer the higher the
air pressure usually, so you end up with a with
more days that are dry, more days that are slightly warmer.
So we're in a fairly settled weather pattern. I do
think we have more severe weather risks as we go
through this month, though. There's a possible tropical cyclone next
(31:09):
week in the Coral Sea that might end up coming
into the New Zealand area towards the end of the month,
not as a tropical cyclone, but just maybe as a
large low. And there might also be a couple of
cold fronts. Well, there will be a couple of cold
fronts in the mix, but these are not cold fronts
that are going right up the whole country, which means
Southland's only going to be brushed by them rather than
getting some major blast within the next ten days. So
(31:32):
it's actually a pretty good forecast bit of a balancing
act maybe after what we had at the start of
the year.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We're saying the days get shorter at the moment, as
you'd expect for the middle of March. But like so
Frost's we had one earlier on in the week. There's
nothing in the forecast suggesting we're going to see more.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Don't see any frosts in the next ten days. The
closest we get is Friday, the twentieth of March, overnight
well of five, So that's got some frost potential, but
not very strong. That's it. Yeah, no frost risk at
this stage showing up. You know, the overnight temperatures, like
I say, we've got of the next ten days, half
(32:08):
of them are double digit overnight temperatures. So really that's
pretty mild considering we are at that time of year.
You know, next Saturday, the twenty first of March, that
is the spring sorry, the autumn equinox, and so that
means that the days and the nights are equal length.
That's the proper official kind of line in the sand
for the end of the summer weather pattern. So we
(32:29):
are at that time of year, so we might see
things changing quite quickly once we get past next weekend.
But for now, yeah, it's a pretty good end to
what has been a bit of a weird summer. I mean,
it depends on how you measure summer as well, if
you go with the first of the month or the
equinox dates. Both dates count. But from our birth trip
(32:51):
around the sun and our cycle of daylight, yeah, we're
coming to the end of summer and more of an
official start to the autumn weather pattern once we get
to next week again, the twenty first of March.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
One final question for you, Phil, What is the difference
between being partly cloudy and mainly fine.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Partly cloudy? There isn't much. There are two words to
say the same.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Thing, so there's no difference whatsoever. It's just pretty much terminology.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Partly cloudy means that it's mostly sunny with a few clouds.
Partly sunny means that it's mostly cloudy with a few
sunny spells. It's one of those funny things that every
now and then I see it and I think, gosh,
that's ridiculous, like but it's just a different way of
saying the same things that you don't see the same
words day after day. After day.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's one of the great con jobs you with the
guys who miniged to concoct David time.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Right, that's right. My favorite one. The one that I
like to use is a mix of sun and cloud
you do. I think that's a great term. It just
sums it up. It means yeah so and people understand
what it is. Whereas you're right partly cloudy, partly sunny,
people get confused about how much of those parts are
cloudy or sunny, and.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Every singles always feel dunk. And you're a health of
knowledge on the weather, which is highly relevant to down
here in the South. Enjoy the weekend. We will catch
up with you Friday.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Next week, you too, mate, Thank you, Phil.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Don't get the weather watch before we wrap up. Logan
Saverri out of the South and Tribune. I'll stand you
were there? What and excess is the music? That song
(34:32):
there never tear us apart. If you're a fan of
Port Adelaide in the AFL or Australian rules, it's the
anthem for that club and certainly a sight to behold
when you've got fifty two thousand people and the Adelaide
oval creamed in scarves over on top of their head
singing that tune. It certainly resonates in a sporting sense.
Logan Savery in the South and Tribune joins us this afternoon,
(34:53):
save how's everything in numbers today?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
All good?
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Another day of paradise as.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Another day in paradise for the whole Islanders looking to
go to and no over their neighbors the Crusaders this weekend.
And it's fear to say the Saders or they're almost
foxing at the moment. Where are they?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
You know?
Speaker 6 (35:10):
I'm just just not sure that the Crusaders I'm gonna,
I'm gonna put themselves an't here, But I don't think
they are real power of us this season. They're an
all right team, but particularly without World Jordan, I think
I think they are really quite reliant and attacked with
Wild Jordan and then some other guys probably just haven't
(35:30):
haven't stepped up early in the season less if I know,
and some others. But it's Lois is a really important game,
doesn't it? For both teams, the Highlanders and Crusaders. If
they have aspirations for that top six playoffs, this becomes
quite an important game because they both sort of sit
outside of that top six at the moment and the
(35:50):
loser there will be all we gap open. So quite
an important game this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
The Highlanders too. In turn, I think the Crusaders are
one and three, but the fact that Blues got the
win at the weekend being past sorry, I think they've
only won like three or four times in the last
twenty years at Eden Park over with the Crusaders some
crazy figure.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, the blood Blows have been an interesting
one season. They probably haven't been at their best either.
The minister to get the odd result there Actually all
of the all the news on teams have been but
pitching I suppose that happened and be on one thing.
I recognize that the competition as such, if you just
look at it as a complete competition, has been really
(36:34):
enjoyable this season because of their unpredictability. It's really hard
to if anyone out there that are the tipping conks.
It's very hard to come up with the winner each week,
which is which is great for the competition.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well. Arguably the Australian teams being on top of the
table is a good thing given the crazy success and
maybe for the competition and could help the game and
Assie because it needs it.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Yeah, I think, I think for the Super Rag competition
to be strong and and a really good product, but
then we need those Australian teams to be more than
competitive to hold that interest. I remember a couple of
seasons back you'd put your picks in each week and
unless it was a New Zealand team playing and other
New Yeon team, it was all very straightforward. Where we're now.
(37:17):
You know the Brumbies, the Reds, uh you know the
wire cars that have been hit a wheel loit with injuries.
But you know they're all quite competitive, particularly the Brumbies
and the and the Reds. So it definitely adds to
the competition.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
We spoke to you a few weeks back talking about
Rugby Park in the situation I'm folding their sev it
sounds that Rugby League's going to be using Rugby Park,
which is fantastic. We just need to get more vins there.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, that's the that's the key is to get more
use out of it. You know, look at look at
primary purpose over the years has been you know for
rugby and in particular this decks homes home games. But
I guess the question is that if we're we the
right payers are going to invest you know, potentially eight
(38:06):
a million and bringing it back up to speed, that
it needs to be utilized more, both for community is
what's happening with the with the local rugby league competition
playing there, but also as you mentioned, the events, and
you know, I've written a weave that we just probably
need to weave it a more ambition and drive around
(38:30):
that to attract some look at things that might be
we might Again, I know it's really competitive market with
all provinces and cities looking to attract events, but we
probably just need to have a better strategy and a
bit of a better ambition to try to get some
events whatever they are to that outdoor stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Well, how optimistic are you said that there is a
strategy in place for Rugby Park for the future.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Well at the moment, there isn't. I mean, that's the
blunt reality of it. And I've acknowledged that in terms
of when I'm talking about strategy around multi use in
getting it utilized more. But that is part of this discussion.
What they basically said that if we are going to
invest this adam million to bring it up speed, then
(39:16):
on top of that there also needs to be a budget,
an operational budget to have people in place to be
driving more activity, and that needs to happen because in
recent times it hasn't, and that has been acknowledged.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
The black Caps. They couldn't get the job done over
a brutally good Indian team at the weekend in the
Tea twenty Creckit World Cup Final, but they haven't got
time to dwell on it because the Protears have landed
in New Zealand and this t twenty five game series
starts off this weekend. For goodness sake.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
About of crickets, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
I mean I was really nervous. I mean I thought
India were clear favorites before the tournament started, and then
it looked like they were going to miss out in
the semi finals, and I thought this is what it
opened here. And then they made the semifinals and then
they knocked over England and we drew them in the final.
And I was always a little nervous about that, particularly
(40:13):
the powerful Bedding line up, which is it's a crazy
betting betting lineup, and they just betted us out of
that game. In the first Stunnings but as you said,
we're straight into a it's been a weird old summer
of cricket where it feels like it's probably it was
supposed to be coming in but they're actually playing some
cricketer on home store and a lot of guys rested
(40:36):
from that World World Cup squad. So I guess the
interest around this series of New Zealand was will be
some of those guys that will get an opportunity and
how they go?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
How would you create how would you rate club cricket
in South And this year at a senior level.
Speaker 6 (40:50):
Look, I haven't watched a lot of it. I've I've
caught a bit and pieces, but I think it would
be fair to say that there's some struggles there. Uh
you know, playing number them. We've talked about this in
the past and that that generates some issues, but that's
not that's not a new thing. Yeah, So, I mean
(41:12):
I haven't watched enough of it to be completely completely
across it, but yeah, I think there's definitely some challenges
there would be fair, so, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I'll give a share the South and Boys high in
the cricket system, sev in the B grade here in
the Southern country comp. They've got two teams involved, they've
got a few adults involved, like say Jason Rutlers for example,
another parents getting the team up and running and getting
them involved and seeing that level of cricke at a
young age has been a really good thing. So there
(41:42):
are the young people still keen to play.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Yeah, Southern boys are really lucky. They've got, you know,
some good.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Older people involved.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
You've got lots of Jason Dobing and whose sons are playing,
so he's he's playing as well. That's great to help
them out. And Mark Bilker, former Volts cricketer, is also
lining up. So they're really lucky in what we need
those younger ones coming through because if those numbers really
drop drop off and the use, that's when the club
(42:13):
cricket will, the senior club cricket will really hurt years
to come. I guess the other shining light I would
have thought in recent use for cricket and and what's
happened out Gianni that's you know, while other other there
has been some struggles. They seem to have gone really
well in terms of building up numbers from junior playing
(42:35):
numbers right through to a couple of senior teams. So
that's another sort of shining light.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
I suppose logan severy of the South and tribute and
keep out the great work. Will jet again thanks any
laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter brought to us by
sheer well data working to help the livestock farmer. My
father once said as well, door closes, another one opens,
(43:02):
beautiful man, terrible cabinet maker. Okay, that's us, sober and
done with for the afternoon. Remember the muster coming to
life tomorrow from the Wanaka show. So Tony, get myself
organized at the highway and I'll catch it from there tomorrow.
The podcast will be going up shortly. Coincidentally, enjoy the afternoon.
(43:26):
Catch it from Wonka tomorrow. Listen to mar and she
told you thanks a PGG. Right, so we're get to
run down the chart and sale yards of their stock
sale that occurred this morning. Dave Morrison's on the line
to give a rundown on prices. Get a tger. What's
the guss.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Afternoon, Andy, you look just another good child today.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Just art the Prime Lambs the best of the Prime
Lands to twenty to two forty minim lands are sort
of one five to two hundred, and the smaller prime
lambs was probably have been open the stores on sixty
smaller yarding here today and the Mutton stacks and the
the best of the US two hundred and two ten
(44:08):
mediums for one sixty five one seventy if the light
and this news still just bending away at the new
one hundred and five, one hundred and twenty five, one
hundred and thirty dollars stall lambs ten to them. Stare
lambs today with a very good line of lambs, and
from Stoney Creek saw new lambs were sold pretty well,
the best of them one seventy one eighty milliums one
(44:29):
sixty to one sixty five and the bottom of the
serwenty feet lambs one forty five one point fifty. And
that was pretty much the average on the lambs today,
and that wraps it up ly
Good afternoon, and welcome to the muster on Hakanui. We're
here until two o'clock and the show, of course, is
brought to you by Peter's Genetics. My name's Andy Muir,
thanks to your company. On an overcast afternoon here in
g Town. Phil Duncan of Weather watches along later on
in the hour to give a rundown the southern weather
for the next seven days without further ado, though straight
(00:32):
into it in excess is the music today. The late
Great Michael Hutchins involved, of course.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hakanui's five day forecast with twin farm teff from and
soft text. The proof is in the progeny tear from
dot co dot Instead.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
This afternoon cloudy, we're breezing or easterly's in twenty three.
Friday afternoon showers of Easterly's forming seven and eighteen. Saturday
mostly cloudy with west Norwester's forming eleven is seventeen Sunday
morning showers of breezy westerlies eleven and seventeen, and on
Monday afternoon showers of breezy westerlies at nine and seventeen.
(01:09):
So it's temperatures to hand Clinton fifteen point one. Harriet
thirteen point six Northern South and fourteen point seven, Ratherton
fifteen point three to now fourteen point six, Winton and
Woodland's both fourteen point one. Joseph Mooney, MP for South
Cats off the show this afternoon talking about the fuel situation.
What does it mean for New Zealand. I mean, we're
(01:30):
hearing these stories about fuel rationing occurring in Australia. How
are we looking here in New Zealand in a situation
that seems to be evolving by the hour. Warren Ross
farms at way Mumoo, I think while saying earlier and
the correspondents said he's having a pretty good season to
date when we're hearing the parts of the South that
have been pretty dry and yeah, it just goes into
(01:52):
a bit of detail of he's done the oystering thing
to start the season. Tells us how that's all unfolded
for you. Only Young of Beef and Lamb Zealand talks
about a few things that are coming out with Beef
and Lamb on the Horizon, Phil Duncan and weather Watch
giving a proper detailed look at the Southern forecast for
the next seven days of your Logan Sava the Southland Tribune.
(02:13):
What is happening with Raby Park at the moment. Further
to our discussion, is a lot to be a plan
in place, and how are they going to pay for
all this money into the kiddie to get Rebby Park
back to where it once was. Dave Morrison and PGG
rights and gives us a rundown on the Charlton sale.
That was how this morning. Then we'll start the yeld.
Joseph Mooney, This is the muster until two o'clock thanks
(02:35):
to Peter Genetics. Joseph Mooney joins us. He is the
MP for Southland. Good afternoon, Joseph. The song is mystified
by inexcess. It is rather mystifying trying to predict where
these fuel prices are going to end up.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Oh you good?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Governments of Stilus and Minister or advisory group who have
ranged different ministers and chief executives across you know a
number of different related portfolios to watch us really closely,
and they met last night for the first time. So
it is Look, it's a snipping event that's happened, happening
at the moment, and you know that's golf and it's
(03:25):
it's about twenty percent of world's oil supplies, about twenty
percent of the world's guest supplies and around the world's
fertilized supplies flow through there, and it's obviously the biggest
disruption well probably the last century really, So there's no
reason for alarm in New Zealand on the information we've
(03:45):
got available. But now we've got our just thrial supplies
coming to us. But so it's certainly something watching very
very closely.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Do you think Megan Woods looks back at Marsden Point
deciding to shut it thinking, yeah, maybe in hindsight not
a good idea.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Look, we've had a few debates on this over the
last two weeks and there's no indication that they think that.
I mean, their argument is that they didn't close it,
but they allowed it to close, and it was I
remember seeing a letter sent to then Finance Minister from
I think it was Channel Infrastructure just you know, with
(04:23):
the settings that didn't really stack up around you know
what they're going to have to look there forward, costs,
things were going to be for climate change mitigation, et cetera.
You know, around the cartmen pricing and asking for us.
I think some direction from government from memory, and they
obviously didn't get that and made it a commercial decision
(04:45):
to shut it down. But you know the government allowed
the government at the time allowed that to happen. And
so you couple that with the oil and gas band
in New Zealand. So we've lost, you know, traction on
exploring for and drilling for new all the guess opportunities
New Zealand. They look we thought they had done decisions
(05:07):
at the time, and they really look pretty bad decisions now,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Does this bring you the question even more though New
Zealand's commitment to the Powers Accord Joseph, given this so
ongoing situation with Iran.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well it's quite frankly, the Paris Agreement shouldn't require that
because the Paris Agreement says that each country should be
the most ambitious it can be based on its national circumstances.
The last government didn't focus on what New Zealand could
do based on the national circumstances. They focused on what
New Zealand could do in a global equity basis, and
that's how we ended up with a target that was
(05:41):
based on buying credits. You know, at some point in
the futures and meet these targets which the then Minister
James Shaw quite clearly spilled out the Cabinet could not
be met and Treasury advised that seventy percent plus of
those targets would have to have to come from olshare.
So the last government quite delivered at least at the
target that could not be achieved in New Zealand, rather
(06:03):
than focusing on what the Paris Agreements says, which is
that you should be most again based on your nationial circumstances.
So they didn't base they didn't focus on New zealand
national circumstances. So the problem is not with Paris Agreement,
it's the way that the last government applayed it. Like
I say, the Paris Agreement sees that you should be
the most ambitious you can be based on your national circumstances.
It doesn't say that you should focus on what other
(06:25):
countries don't else around the world and support their projects,
which is effectively what last government decided to focus on
rather than focusing on what New Zealand could do.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Do you see any positives coming out of the situation
for New Zealand as a trading nation and especially regarding
exports possibly being on a bit of a rise at
the moment with the dollar weakening against the major currencies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Well, look, we're a major food exporter, you know, small
in global terms from most most things that you know,
we're significant, certainly particularly dairy meat, et cetera. And so
I think the prices of those are likely to increase.
And obviously the I think we're gonna have to pay
close attention to is what that means for domestic consumers
(07:10):
for food prices here.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And it's on eighty three cents to the Aussie dollar
at the moment, not that long ago though considering Parcy.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, it's always bounces around the Yeah, but I mean
the frustration for our current finance minister is that she
just got the Treasury's forecasts which has shown that we've
actually grown I think it's about one point seven percent,
and we're on track for huge growth of three percent.
(07:39):
It's going to be double Australia's growth.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Obviously we're going to have to sort of reclculate that
given what's going on with the Middle East at the moment.
But we we up until this this Middle East happens,
which is good, just have to see how that plays out.
We weren't actually on track to I mistake Australia's growth,
So it's a moving feast.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The Primary Production Select Committee was, how the meeting was?
How this morning? You got a bit of news for
us there.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, No. My neighbor and colleague Miles Anderson was
elected the chair of the committee this morning. He's been
deputy chair until this point and I happened to just
be asked to suburn, so I was there for the
vote this morning, so he would do a great job.
Mark Camras, you done a great job. He's obviously had
(08:28):
some really slick and health issues, so he's going to
remain on the committee. But Miles andson will were taking
the chair from the here on out.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Just exactly what does the Primary Production Select Committee do?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It examines any legislation that's relevant to the primary sector. Really,
he's from a whole raft of different people and organizations
about matters relevant to primary sector. And you know it's
sort of run and ruler over the rule. You know,
(09:09):
different German organizations that broadly connected to the primary sector,
but you know, not not just sort of things like
the Outdoor Commission. You know, for example, they get looked
at by them, so it's yeah, I bring it's a
broader remit than just things that are strictly related to
primary production.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What I could show tomorrow, Joe, are you turning up?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yep, no, sure will be. Yeah, looking forward to it.
It's an amazing show. And yeah, it's a lot of
people my miles are telling me more country than in
the Southern field days. I'm I'm not quite so sure.
We'll have that debate, but both amazing shows and I
think it should be a really good event, well as
(09:53):
it always does well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The total there is forty two five hundred debat. Joseph
Meaney will talk about this tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I got another card it gimme.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Joseph Mooney MP for South and yeah, the whole fuel situation,
it's a moving feast at the moment as well. Download
the guest we app if you haven't got it too.
It gives you an idea of what is happening with
the fuel prices and listen to the muster on Hakanui. Next,
we're going to catch up with Warren Ross farming at
Way Moomoo and living like a King on seafood Lately
(10:23):
by the sounds of it. This is the Muster on Hakanui.
We're away to Wai Mooi next to catch up with
Warren Ross, our resident fishing and rallying corresponded here on
(10:47):
the muster coincidentally, Well, good afternoon, hell.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Six yeah afternoon andy en listeners.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
How's it been over the past couple of weeks? You
went away, you did your fishing trip. We'll talk about
that shortly, but freshly. Ground conditions at way m A
few areas around the south still after some moisture. But
it sounds as though you're looking pretty good.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Yeah, no, we're we're sitting pretty good, i'd say so.
Since we've been away and come back. It's yeah, we've
had plenty of moisture and grasses taking along quite nicely
for the autumns now. We're sitting in quite a good place.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So the caves are pretty much where you want them
to be.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, so there's yeah, we would just wan some cows
and calves years today, dy before and yeah, they are
just going onto you know, six rade inches feed, good
green lush feed, so you know there's in all the
honds and fawns are on short well not short feed,
but good nice green grass, and yeah, it's the just
(11:40):
going along quite nicely.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
How many cows do you run?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
We carved down about one hundred and forty or fifty
this year, so all those calves are actually worth like
gold at the moment. So we're just going to plan
with what what we're gonna do with them.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You see, what do you think of this autumn sales perhaps,
or what are you going to mind?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Weren't in the past we've actually just sold all our
hair for bulls live and then sold all the stairs
and then brought in a few usual heihers just to
make up numbers. So then we've just got one line
of animals to worry about for the winter. But this
year I'm not sure whether it'd sell the whole lot
or or just yeah, to keep them. We're doing so,
(12:21):
but they're talking some good money for them anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So you're just you're basing your decisions and what the
market's going to do. And now you believe pretty favorably, well,
I think.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
So, yeah, and so that's what I'm aiming to do
at the moment. So that's we're in a we're in
a good position at the moment anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
As far as the rat starting. Is that in the
full mode yet.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
We got all our size are out with the with
the hinds. So yeah, there a couple of big boys
starting to get quite dominant. But I haven't actually heard
a lot of roaring going on from our velper heard
yet actually, so they must be starting cranking it very soon.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You was there? What brings it on? The roaring as such?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
And that mob, I guess it's the where the sires
will probably get come on season. Weaved earlier due to
that the Hind's been with them. But our guests for
the beveling mab is all to do with the weather.
So soon as you start getting a few cooler, cooler
nights mornings, I wish we've been getting now, sir, I
would have thought they would. Yeah, we begin into it,
but they are they are on the part of the farm,
(13:20):
so I may not hear them.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So it's just a matter of these longer nights you're
going to hear a bit more noise and it's pretty
distinguishable with the sound as well.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Oh no, absolutely a so yeah, yeah, it's a longer nights,
call the mornings and so forth that that sort of
brings them all on. To say, sir, Yeah, that ll
cranking it very soon.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Nice would have thought, well.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
At the moment of Villa's moisture, you've had your window
crops and the lights they'll be singing.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, no, wonder crops are looking good as just having
a drive around, you know, he's got home on said days,
just having a drive around and you know the crops
are doing well, and we've got the sculptor on there
for a bik just yesterday morning, I think it was. Yeah,
we sort of sat onto the probably maintenance rereadliser next
week on a guest, you know, just to get into it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
The diesel situation especially, you're hearing these stories in rural
Australia about rationing being an issue at the moment, Are
you concerned about that kind of thing happening over here
giving your operation.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yes to no. But we actually don't barn a lot
of diesel this time the year now on, so we're
probably pretty pretty lucky in that respect, so hopefully, yeah,
hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. So we're
lucky enough aventually, and we were out of fuel there
before we went to stood Oland, so we thought her
up before we left and not knowing that, not knowing
(14:34):
that what was going to happen this week, you see.
So we were quite quite lucky in that respect.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And you would have got that for under a dollar
fifty as well, probably wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, or the deed I'm not sure how much it was,
but yeah, the deesel was under a dollar fifty. So no, yeah, yeah,
we struck that one lucky.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, just it was a case of the unknown this
time last week with the sales happening, then you were
able to you know, fell up at the tank for
about a dollar in the mid dollar fifties at the
moments on discount day of two dollars twelve.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
So it's amazing, what strange here, what one week can
do do do the things they So it's probably the
biggest thing for us is just what happens with the
fertilizer prices. But insane, that's probably all right for the
season or guess so we'll be going onto the next
was probably gonna be the challenge for furt Lizer.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So how did you get on with fishing? You're a
fishing fishing guru here on the muster. You were away
for a while and judging were some of the photos
you were scending during a said meeting if you might
talk about that. It went pretty good.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, no, absolutely, you know, we had a pretty good
seven eight days and Denshode Islands so where there is
mostly pretty good. So yeah, no, I think there was
just one day I was a bit rough of that Friday.
Friday Friday the sixth must have been was pretty average
down there, but still mention to get it for a
dove I anyhow, So no, eving was pretty good down there.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
As far as the oysters, how are they looking?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Actually feel they were slightly better than our last year
to be fare, so we were certainly we were diving
for them and that they there are certainly a lot
more pintiful than what they were have been the last
couple of years. So fingers crossed the stocks and won't
be s g ok this year.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So when you're down there, you're just living on the
food groups Cray first power in blue card more re lease. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So yeah, so we yeah, yea oystery ahead. A few
scallops season still open. It might be closed now actually,
but the still still opened last week and I think
it's about the tenth of closers. So you know, we
had oysters and scallops, Blue Card, Cray, First Power and.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah we get the guests of it. Well.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Even meant to get some mutton birds as well last
last season's one, of course. But yeah no, So we
were living off the ocean pretty pretty well.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Really was a busy on straight.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
East and we we didn't venture too far out into
the Strait from from Street Islands because no need to.
When we were going across, we didn't see anything on
the on the twenty eighth went across, didn't seem not
many boats out. Then when we came home, you saw
a couple in the distance, but there was quite a
few trailers in the car pack, So I guess they're
(17:08):
out on Straight somewhere. But I suppose that's the Row
Strait is such a big area that when you're on
the water, it's very hard to see anybody. So it's
you know, you might see our boat there or here
or there whatever, but it's yeah, there must be a
lot out there somewhere, but you never see.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Them as far as the roads and Stewart Island. Bruce
Ford was saying recently that the due to be received
was any of that occurring while you were over there,
just as a side note.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Well, the idea, I think I did see Folkenhagen orhoever
someone drive around I think doing some potholes and a
few repairs. So from from last year this year there
had been some roading, reservicing as well done as well,
So I just can't quite recall we didn't venture into
town too often to be fare so well.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
You don't need to your self sufficient, living off the land,
living off the ocean.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
That's right, you know. So we may have, we may
have visited the the office over there once or twice,
but apart from that, it's yeah, it's a hardy vnion
in town at all.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Good on you. We'll let you carry on. Always appreciate
your time. Yeah, good Andy, Larren Ross living like a
king literally off the land there off in Frovo straight.
I mean, it's one of the perks of being down
here right, living close to such a fantastic resource. Up next,
we're going to catch up with f On Young out
(18:29):
of Beef and Lamb New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (18:38):

Speaker 7 (19:53):
She to be honest, know that that all happens sort

Speaker 1 (20:24):

Speaker 7 (20:26):
Absolutely yes, So if you're interested in attending, jump online
to our events and you'll find all the information, date, location,
in timing there. Absolutely, and we've encourage people to attend.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like we say, I call it the cheese roll factor.
If you're on an extra cheese roll, you've got to
put your name down to to tell people you're turning
up so they can get the grill ready.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Right, Undoubtedly, Yes, yes, and they'll definitely be I'm sure
there'll be beef and lamb at some point during the day.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Absolutely, I'm sure there will field days, beef and Lamb's
got quite a bit of stuff coming up on the horizon,
I believe, well, we do.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Actually I just would say, excellent day at the Lindsay's
place on Tuesday, so we had field Day. They're clear
organized and absolute and Anna Erwin organizer cracking Farming for
Profit Day. So that was Tuesday. That's just been but
actually and then of course we've had the Wye Moment
field Days. We're now into one off a show, so
(21:21):
really would like to encourage anyone who's up there at
the WANTA have to show at three pm on Friday
thirteenth Bee from the New Zealand in the Agri Exchange,
which is sort of I guess towards the town side
of the one A show, and you'll be joined by
Kate Aklin, Minister and your hoguard and we have Hayley
van Loins from Craig's Investments for a networking hour, so
(21:43):
they'll be talking and there'll be some refreshments and we'll
be looking forward to a good turnout and some good
strong discussion.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Plenty happening.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
And in this year, I have to say in there
as we lead into an election and there's lots of
legislation changes and great kind of outlooks on the horizon
for albeit a little bit softened.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
At the moment with what's going on overseas.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
But yes, three PM be at the Airy Exchange at
the Wanaka Show.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, quite a bit happening around the world at the moment.
But you can only control what you can inside the
farm gate. You just got to let things take its course,
and it's all about just doing your management right and
just the obvious. I suppose that's right.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
And beef and lamb in the.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Last few years have really got back to kind of
a behind the farm gate approach to the work we're
doing with our focus groups and field days and some
of the workshops we're putting on. We're really wanting farmers
to actually hone in on production and productivity, and we've
got kind of the data and the science that we're
collecting as well on their behalf that will help inform
some of that training. So yes, that's absolutely right. Worry
(22:44):
about the things you can at the moment. We're wanting
to make the most out of our pasture. Put weight
on lambs it actually use as we get ready for
mating and get those beefees grown out so that we
can actually get them out the door. So yes, yeah,
definitely hind the farm gate, control the things that you
can control.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
As far as I want it can show. Have you've
been to it lately yourself?
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Oh well, actually it's truth be told. I went for
the first time last year. You get it around and
chatted beef and lamb two people and had had some
great conversations. It seems to be in the same first
time I've ever been there, so pretty sort of relaxed
the event. Great chance to kind of catch up with people,
talk to other people. Good chance for us to kind
of you know, get beef and lamb on the people's
(23:29):
minds and actually hear what people are thinking as well
make sure that we're on track with the work we're
doing that production productivity focus. So yeah, it should be
a good couple of days and looking forward to that
event on Friday at three pm.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That's exactly what we heard about regarding Southern Field Days
at way Moomi for you owner, the conversations that we
had and just the vibe as you'd like to call it,
it was fantastic And I think tomorrow Wanaka is going
to be no exception.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Absolutely, and look, you know, there is a good vibe.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
There's a really strong feeling quite frankly, farmers deserve it,
our sheep and beef farmers deserve it after you know,
quite a period of things really not been that great.
So and it's you know, it's good to see people
are investing in the.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
R and M.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
They're doing the repairs and maintenance, they're catching out for
the last few years, but also taking a breath as well,
and just you know, that's that's a great thing for
our for our farmers.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Beef Airmens dot Com slash events for the e Diary

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Good on and I always appreciate your time. I've got
to throw this at ye, who was better in their prime?
An excess of Jimmy Barnes.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Oh gosh, no, I have to say an excess absolutely
Michael Hutchon's hands down. But then, but then, and those
were the days when actually went to quite a few concerts,
so there was some excellent you know. We had Billy,
we had Billy Joel, we had you too, we had
who was the other one was going to say o
di Strates came and giving too much a ways here
(25:15):
about music taste.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, I remember when dive Strates came over. It was
I think about nineteen ninety one. It was just when
CDs were coming out and you buy the t shirts
for five bucks of.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Eight and jays god, there you go.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
And actually, without wanting to go on too much about this,
I also got to see the Whalers, so Bob Marley's
been a bit of a massive treat. And oh who
was the Icelandic great with the York as well? Yes,
saw her in concert. Yeah, just next level amazing.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
So those were the good old days.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well we we did the Finger Boys last year, so
you didn't have to but we'll leave it at that.
Good on your FI catch up next time.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Welcome back to the muster. It is time to catch
up with there resen't weather man Phil Duncan of weather Watch,
(26:29):
Elanas Morrissette. Feel free to give us a shout out
if you're listening. Good on your feel How are you,
I'm very good, mister Muir.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, pretty good. It's been well, not too bad weather wise.
It's settled down over the past couple of days. But
I was up in parts of northern Southland over the
week hid and I'll tell you what it was rather dry. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
We are seeing the dry conditions expand out of central Otago.
You know, there are parts of Southland that are pretty
good from a rainfall point of view, and then patches
that are drying out, and in fact, the drying out
patches is a nationwide issue. I just literally this morning
wrote my column for the Farmer's Weekly newspaper for next week,
and the columns all about so the last month or
(27:11):
so of weather and what we've been experiencing, and one
of the things that stood out to me was the
fact that there are a number of regions that are
now quite dry in both main islands, especially in the
North Island. But the South Island, South Canterbury Otago area,
along with Nelson and Marlborough, they're all quite a lot
drier than usual at the moment. And then of course
that is now spreading around parts of Southland as well.
(27:33):
So it's but I still think Southland overall is doing
pretty good when you compare it to other regions.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
At least the only parts of the region have been dry.
I'll just reiterate that as well. It's Spain intriguing, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I mean the temperature one, that's the one that stood
out to me more than anything, is that the nationwide temperatures. So,
with the exception of Stuart Island and Fjordland, not exactly
our two biggest farming region, everywhere in New Zealand has
been colder than average over the last couple of weeks. Everywhere,
(28:07):
and not even by a small amount, Like most of
the North Island was two degrees below average. And that
might not sound like much, but to give you an
idea of when you're talking about trends of average temperatures,
the key only goes up to two degrees either way
above or below average. So when you're seeing most of
the North Island that the highest you know on the
key on the knee was maps that does say something.
(28:30):
So the North Island a couple of degrees below average
almost everywhere, the South Island a lot of places over
a degree below normal, if not two degrees in some areas.
Most of that is actually in the top half of
the island. So the further south you go in New
Zealand over the last month, the closer you've been to
more normal temperatures. But even like Southland's been below average,
(28:52):
which I'm sure is no shock to you, but not
as much as say other parts of the country. So
it's been you know, we had a cloudy, gloomy January.
We've had temperatures down nationwide over the last month, and
we're seeing rainfall taper off. So it's going into a
bit of a drier, coolest start to autumn this year
in a general sort of sense.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So we're just going to see a continuation for the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah, I don't really see any sort of major swings
just yet. So we've got a warm day today, you
guys are around the mid twenties today. Tomorrow cools down
a wee bit eighteen seventeen Saturday, sixteen Sunday, so sort
of a gradual slide there, but the overnight lows you know,
ten degrees tonight, seven degrees tomorrow, eleven Saturday, eleven Sunday, ten, Monday,
(29:40):
eleven Tuesday. These are warm nights. It does drop next week,
you know, maybe next Friday could be only fourteen as
a maximum and a low of five. So I see
no frosts in the next week ahead. I see a
lot of temperatures that are maximum temperatures in the mid
to late teens and lows out of the frost zone.
(30:01):
And a few showers in the mix as well. Not
huge amounts of rain, but you know, frequent sort of
showers or spits of rain are in the forecast every
day or two, and so that'll add up to maybe
ten or twenty millimeters over the coming ten days. So
it's probably a pretty good forecast.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
You're pretty much just wrapped up what we've had for
the past three or four months here is that the
weather is not going to change over the next couple
of weeks.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, exactly, And that's really what we're seeing long range,
a lot of high pressure coming out of Australia. You know,
the high pressure zones are more powerful than they were
a month ago, two months ago, so the air pressure
back in sort of January, we get a lot of
high pressure systems that were only you know, ten sixteen,
ten nineteen hector pascals. Now they're ten twenty eight, ten thirty,
(30:48):
so they're more powerful and that means that you know
you have a they will last longer the higher the
air pressure usually, so you end up with a with
more days that are dry, more days that are slightly warmer.
So we're in a fairly settled weather pattern. I do
think we have more severe weather risks as we go
through this month, though. There's a possible tropical cyclone next
(31:09):
week in the Coral Sea that might end up coming
into the New Zealand area towards the end of the month,
not as a tropical cyclone, but just maybe as a
large low. And there might also be a couple of
cold fronts. Well, there will be a couple of cold
fronts in the mix, but these are not cold fronts
that are going right up the whole country, which means
Southland's only going to be brushed by them rather than
getting some major blast within the next ten days. So
(31:32):
it's actually a pretty good forecast bit of a balancing
act maybe after what we had at the start of
the year.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We're saying the days get shorter at the moment, as
you'd expect for the middle of March. But like so
Frost's we had one earlier on in the week. There's
nothing in the forecast suggesting we're going to see more.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Don't see any frosts in the next ten days. The
closest we get is Friday, the twentieth of March, overnight
well of five, So that's got some frost potential, but
not very strong. That's it. Yeah, no frost risk at
this stage showing up. You know, the overnight temperatures, like
I say, we've got of the next ten days, half
(32:08):
of them are double digit overnight temperatures. So really that's
pretty mild considering we are at that time of year.
You know, next Saturday, the twenty first of March, that
is the spring sorry, the autumn equinox, and so that
means that the days and the nights are equal length.
That's the proper official kind of line in the sand
for the end of the summer weather pattern. So we
(32:29):
are at that time of year, so we might see
things changing quite quickly once we get past next weekend.
But for now, yeah, it's a pretty good end to
what has been a bit of a weird summer. I mean,
it depends on how you measure summer as well, if
you go with the first of the month or the
equinox dates. Both dates count. But from our birth trip
(32:51):
around the sun and our cycle of daylight, yeah, we're
coming to the end of summer and more of an
official start to the autumn weather pattern once we get
to next week again, the twenty first of March.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
One final question for you, Phil, What is the difference
between being partly cloudy and mainly fine.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Partly cloudy? There isn't much. There are two words to
say the same.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Thing, so there's no difference whatsoever. It's just pretty much terminology.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Partly cloudy means that it's mostly sunny with a few clouds.
Partly sunny means that it's mostly cloudy with a few
sunny spells. It's one of those funny things that every
now and then I see it and I think, gosh,
that's ridiculous, like but it's just a different way of
saying the same things that you don't see the same
words day after day. After day.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's one of the great con jobs you with the
guys who miniged to concoct David time.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Right, that's right. My favorite one. The one that I
like to use is a mix of sun and cloud
you do. I think that's a great term. It just
sums it up. It means yeah so and people understand
what it is. Whereas you're right partly cloudy, partly sunny,
people get confused about how much of those parts are
cloudy or sunny, and.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Every singles always feel dunk. And you're a health of
knowledge on the weather, which is highly relevant to down
here in the South. Enjoy the weekend. We will catch
up with you Friday.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Next week, you too, mate, Thank you, Phil.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Don't get the weather watch before we wrap up. Logan
Saverri out of the South and Tribune. I'll stand you
were there? What and excess is the music? That song
(34:32):
there never tear us apart. If you're a fan of
Port Adelaide in the AFL or Australian rules, it's the
anthem for that club and certainly a sight to behold
when you've got fifty two thousand people and the Adelaide
oval creamed in scarves over on top of their head
singing that tune. It certainly resonates in a sporting sense.
Logan Savery in the South and Tribune joins us this afternoon,
(34:53):
save how's everything in numbers today?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
All good?
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Another day of paradise as.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Another day in paradise for the whole Islanders looking to
go to and no over their neighbors the Crusaders this weekend.
And it's fear to say the Saders or they're almost
foxing at the moment. Where are they?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
You know?
Speaker 6 (35:10):
I'm just just not sure that the Crusaders I'm gonna,
I'm gonna put themselves an't here, But I don't think
they are real power of us this season. They're an
all right team, but particularly without World Jordan, I think
I think they are really quite reliant and attacked with
Wild Jordan and then some other guys probably just haven't
(35:30):
haven't stepped up early in the season less if I know,
and some others. But it's Lois is a really important game,
doesn't it? For both teams, the Highlanders and Crusaders. If
they have aspirations for that top six playoffs, this becomes
quite an important game because they both sort of sit
outside of that top six at the moment and the
(35:50):
loser there will be all we gap open. So quite
an important game this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
The Highlanders too. In turn, I think the Crusaders are
one and three, but the fact that Blues got the
win at the weekend being past sorry, I think they've
only won like three or four times in the last
twenty years at Eden Park over with the Crusaders some
crazy figure.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, the blood Blows have been an interesting
one season. They probably haven't been at their best either.
The minister to get the odd result there Actually all
of the all the news on teams have been but
pitching I suppose that happened and be on one thing.
I recognize that the competition as such, if you just
look at it as a complete competition, has been really
(36:34):
enjoyable this season because of their unpredictability. It's really hard
to if anyone out there that are the tipping conks.
It's very hard to come up with the winner each week,
which is which is great for the competition.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well. Arguably the Australian teams being on top of the
table is a good thing given the crazy success and
maybe for the competition and could help the game and
Assie because it needs it.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Yeah, I think, I think for the Super Rag competition
to be strong and and a really good product, but
then we need those Australian teams to be more than
competitive to hold that interest. I remember a couple of
seasons back you'd put your picks in each week and
unless it was a New Zealand team playing and other
New Yeon team, it was all very straightforward. Where we're now.
(37:17):
You know the Brumbies, the Reds, uh you know the
wire cars that have been hit a wheel loit with injuries.
But you know they're all quite competitive, particularly the Brumbies
and the and the Reds. So it definitely adds to
the competition.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
We spoke to you a few weeks back talking about
Rugby Park in the situation I'm folding their sev it
sounds that Rugby League's going to be using Rugby Park,
which is fantastic. We just need to get more vins there.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, that's the that's the key is to get more
use out of it. You know, look at look at
primary purpose over the years has been you know for
rugby and in particular this decks homes home games. But
I guess the question is that if we're we the
right payers are going to invest you know, potentially eight
(38:06):
a million and bringing it back up to speed, that
it needs to be utilized more, both for community is
what's happening with the with the local rugby league competition
playing there, but also as you mentioned, the events, and
you know, I've written a weave that we just probably
need to weave it a more ambition and drive around
(38:30):
that to attract some look at things that might be
we might Again, I know it's really competitive market with
all provinces and cities looking to attract events, but we
probably just need to have a better strategy and a
bit of a better ambition to try to get some
events whatever they are to that outdoor stadium.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Well, how optimistic are you said that there is a
strategy in place for Rugby Park for the future.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Well at the moment, there isn't. I mean, that's the
blunt reality of it. And I've acknowledged that in terms
of when I'm talking about strategy around multi use in
getting it utilized more. But that is part of this discussion.
What they basically said that if we are going to
invest this adam million to bring it up speed, then
(39:16):
on top of that there also needs to be a budget,
an operational budget to have people in place to be
driving more activity, and that needs to happen because in
recent times it hasn't, and that has been acknowledged.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
The black Caps. They couldn't get the job done over
a brutally good Indian team at the weekend in the
Tea twenty Creckit World Cup Final, but they haven't got
time to dwell on it because the Protears have landed
in New Zealand and this t twenty five game series
starts off this weekend. For goodness sake.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
About of crickets, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
I mean I was really nervous. I mean I thought
India were clear favorites before the tournament started, and then
it looked like they were going to miss out in
the semi finals, and I thought this is what it
opened here. And then they made the semifinals and then
they knocked over England and we drew them in the final.
And I was always a little nervous about that, particularly
(40:13):
the powerful Bedding line up, which is it's a crazy
betting betting lineup, and they just betted us out of
that game. In the first Stunnings but as you said,
we're straight into a it's been a weird old summer
of cricket where it feels like it's probably it was
supposed to be coming in but they're actually playing some
cricketer on home store and a lot of guys rested
(40:36):
from that World World Cup squad. So I guess the
interest around this series of New Zealand was will be
some of those guys that will get an opportunity and
how they go?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
How would you create how would you rate club cricket
in South And this year at a senior level.
Speaker 6 (40:50):
Look, I haven't watched a lot of it. I've I've
caught a bit and pieces, but I think it would
be fair to say that there's some struggles there. Uh
you know, playing number them. We've talked about this in
the past and that that generates some issues, but that's
not that's not a new thing. Yeah, So, I mean
(41:12):
I haven't watched enough of it to be completely completely
across it, but yeah, I think there's definitely some challenges
there would be fair, so, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I'll give a share the South and Boys high in
the cricket system, sev in the B grade here in
the Southern country comp. They've got two teams involved, they've
got a few adults involved, like say Jason Rutlers for example,
another parents getting the team up and running and getting
them involved and seeing that level of cricke at a
young age has been a really good thing. So there
(41:42):
are the young people still keen to play.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Yeah, Southern boys are really lucky. They've got, you know,
some good.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Older people involved.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
You've got lots of Jason Dobing and whose sons are playing,
so he's he's playing as well. That's great to help
them out. And Mark Bilker, former Volts cricketer, is also
lining up. So they're really lucky in what we need
those younger ones coming through because if those numbers really
drop drop off and the use, that's when the club
(42:13):
cricket will, the senior club cricket will really hurt years
to come. I guess the other shining light I would
have thought in recent use for cricket and and what's
happened out Gianni that's you know, while other other there
has been some struggles. They seem to have gone really
well in terms of building up numbers from junior playing
(42:35):
numbers right through to a couple of senior teams. So
that's another sort of shining light.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
I suppose logan severy of the South and tribute and
keep out the great work. Will jet again thanks any
laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter brought to us by
sheer well data working to help the livestock farmer. My
father once said as well, door closes, another one opens,
(43:02):
beautiful man, terrible cabinet maker. Okay, that's us, sober and
done with for the afternoon. Remember the muster coming to
life tomorrow from the Wanaka show. So Tony, get myself
organized at the highway and I'll catch it from there tomorrow.

sale that occurred this morning. Dave Morrison's on the line

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Afternoon, Andy, you look just another good child today.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Just art the Prime Lambs the best of the Prime
Lands to twenty to two forty minim lands are sort
of one five to two hundred, and the smaller prime
lambs was probably have been open the stores on sixty
smaller yarding here today and the Mutton stacks and the
the best of the US two hundred and two ten
(44:08):
mediums for one sixty five one seventy if the light
