Speaker 1 (01:49):
They haven't, but look shout out to Jamie from RTL
and as well to Debbi.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
From Balance for sending through those reports over the year.
Really do appreciate it, ladies.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
As we start the owl with Peter gard Iron Farming
and Napdale busy finishing the weaning at the moment, we'll
see what's been going on on the farm there with Pete.
It's been pretty busy by the sounds of it, as
it has been with Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland and
our regular catch up John Brady from euro Agri. Of course,
text and win to five double O nine to get
into the drawer for that prazy card with your details.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'll stress that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Claire touton Bury from Bee from their New Zealand comes
on for yarn and then Nathan Bird and our residents
sporting Guru looks at the year that's.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Been in the sporting landscape down here in the South.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Dave Morrison for PGG writes and gives us an update
from the Charlton's sale yards. This sale was held this morning.
And then we'll start the owl with Pete Gardin. This
is the muster until two o'clock thanks to Peter's genetics.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Jimmy Barnes is the artist.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
The song is driving wheels pretty much what's happening and
all the farms around Otago and Southland and around the
country for that matter. As you get on the wine
down or the wind up to Chris disappearing, how you
look at it. So next we catch up with Peter
Gardine Farming and Netdale has been all go this morning
and into the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Pete Howse sings, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Good good, you got a really good song there. It's
one of those lift yut, pump you up songs. And
the truck is just pulled out of the sheepyards up
here at Pyramid and the transport must be busy because
one of the big cheese is on the truck and
he's it's a bit sweatier I think in the truck
than it is in the office.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
One of the big cheese is in the truck. You know,
guns into the gunnel, right.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Oh yeah, No, the transports at winning time, they do
a pretty awesome job. And we used to cut our
own lambs, and I know how nutty it is and
how hard it is to organize everything. And yeah, all
those truck drives, all those other people, they play a
super important part to our industry.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, a big shout out as well.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Everybody on the road in the trucks, but the stockees,
everybody organizing the trucks, the dispatches and the likes.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's a hell of a job in the middle of December.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
We used to.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I used to have a bitch of stock feed side
of things as well. And yeah, as you get to
these public holidays and stuff, it can make a lot
of these scheduling pretty tricky. And yeah, there's a lot
of those unseen people that we sometimes should get about
when we're farming.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, twenty four hours in the day, that's a great point.
So you've been weaning.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
How's it been. Are you quite happy with your numbers?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
We're pretty happy. We've got about thirteen fifty away and
that's all over forty kgs, so we're sort of hanging
up around that twenty and a half, well, just over
that roughly. Yeah, I'm a big believer in big lambs.
I really wanted to go bigger this year, but we
are just struggling for moisture at Napdale, so we've kept
(05:00):
the weight's down and weave it. Yeah, but we had
a couple of antibiotic ones and they went twenty twenty
twos and a half and quite like the look of
that sheet actually, and that's sort of in the future.
I want to keep pushing, pushing heavier.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Ah Sease, you'll be looking at two hundred and twenty
our backs straight off the calf even more, wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, we're doing about that at the moment. But when
you looked at that other sheet, it was two hundred
and forty four or something like that, and that was
even with the antibodic deductions. Yeah, so we'll click on
up to twenty threes probably again this season like we
did last season in February. And I think the answer
to the less sheep is actually just grow your lambs.
(05:39):
Bigger to put another two kilograms of carcass weight on.
That's ten percent more production, and it doesn't take ten
percent more feed when you look at your whole sheep enterprise,
and I think it's easier to yeah, just pack more
weight on animals. A its like my father says, you
can only kill them once and not all of that
saying's great, But that's time that I think is good.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You've always been a big believer in heavy lambs though,
going away regardless.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Definitely, Yeah, And like where we are at the moment,
we're on pretty dry health country there at Pyramid. It's
only a small block, but we take them home and
we finish them. And I was surprised to have the
lambs who got away here off the hill. The aim
here is really just to have nice, healthy lambs that
are easy to take home and finish, rather than lots
(06:25):
of lambs at the winning time. But yeah, I just
see the feed efficiency. We're doing a weave it with
Simon's annie Epicus bio on Fharmax modeling. You know what
air seats per kilogram of dry mat every turns are
in sheef and beef, and we're really trying to push
the boundaries on that, because I want to be in business,
(06:46):
and I want to stay in business, and I want
to thrive in business, and we can only do that
if we keep pushing the boundaries. You know, we're not
doing what we're doing thirty years ago, and that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So how often are you changing you goals? You're talking
about twenty two k lambs going to the works, and
if you're achieving that, now, what are you thinking? I
do note like six twelve months down the line? How
does your brain operate in that capacity?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
How my brain operates? It's a loaded question, and you
could ask anybody and you've get some pretty interesting answers
on suggest.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, I'm going straight to the horse's mouth around it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, No, it's a very fair question. I personally don't
have a lot of goals around weight. It's all about
maximizing the financials. And why I say that is because
we're on a low rainfall area at home and we've
just got to roll with what we've got. So if
we've got feed, we utilize it. If we don't, we
pulled the pin. So we have just sold some new
lambs that we were going to sell anyway. We've pulled
(07:43):
that sale forward a month. Because we are types of feed.
We only had twenty eight meals in November and twenty
eight meals so far this month, so I'm sort of
hanging out for a bit more moisture. But where we
want to go to? I look at the schedule and
I look at how heavy can we go before we
get the acted and as the goal posting rays, we
just keep going up. When I know you had a
(08:06):
week yarn about eating quality with old made up a
mile flats. Yeah, James Egger, and eating quality has got
a lot to do with how well and animals finished,
and long story short, the bigger it is, the fatter
and frivor it is the way good eating quality. I
think we should be illegal to kill lambs under eighteen
(08:29):
kg's or under seventeen kgs. And I actually think they
need to go down to a flat land farm and
get finished properly. And that's not trying to be offensive
or anything like that. It's just those lean, hard lambs
are not a good eating experience, and we want to
push the limits on im from the top end. But
I think it's more important to reduce the bad eating
(08:51):
experiences of you know, lamb and the same ghast of
beef too. But with beef, if it's not that great,
they're just minced it up and it doesn't really matter. Yeah,
because if we want to if we want to be
serious about a quality product, it's actually got to be
a quality product.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But a seventeen k lamb at the same time, so
as catered for by the market, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
It is I And there's a difference between a really
prime seventeen and a hard seventeen.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
And yeah, like I would eat a fat prime lamb
any day of the week, like a pea lamb over
a y lamb any day of the week. And when
you look into the genetic side of things, there's not
a perfect correlation, but there is a pretty steady correlation
between fat on the outside to fat on the inside
in regards and tra muscular fat. And yeah, how we've bred,
(09:46):
probably in the last twenty years, there has been a
penalization in the terminal Sawer indexes against like fat, and
that has harmed us a wee bit, which is a
wee bit unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So look into the next twelve months of the farming landscape.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
What do you see?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
What I see? I'm really hoping to see a whole
lot of rain, you know what I see. I think
the sheep and beef thing looks pretty tidy. I still
am nervous to say that it's going to last. Some
of the other correspondents to do, and they probably have
a bit more informed than I am, But to me,
it's just and that's what the runs on the board.
(10:24):
While it's there. I think there's going to be a
continuation of people pushing the boundaries and challenging what's happened
in the past. And I only say that because that's
what's happened for the last one hundred and fifty years
of agriculture.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
In New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And if we want to stay relevant, then we're a
world away from most of our markets. That's what we've
got to do. I love the idea of things like
Halter and all this technology, and people will say these
good things about bad things about it, but it's all
the evolution of what we do, and it's it's cool
(11:02):
and farming's always done it in the past. No one's
no one's still plowing with a horse.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Are they, unless you're doing vendor's plowing?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Perhaps no, unless we sorry, no one's commercially farming with
a horse, and I just see that evolution and I
think that, like you know, holters, I see AI as
being a real big asset to farming. And why I
say that is like the jobs that are getting taken
away by AI are not really our jobs. There are
(11:33):
all the jobs you hate. I don't see accountancy and
those sort of industries really getting a huge growth in
the future because A is just going to dominate that. Yeah.
I mean we wrote an article with GDP not that
long ago, and yeah, well, you can put your words
into a bit of paper and bea dyslexicr me put
(11:53):
it into that and tidy it up and work alongside it.
And it's amazing what that will do. And yeah, it's
it's pretty exciting. I mean, you can build apps. Even
as a farmer, you can do lots of things, and
I think it's just unlocks a whole lot of stuff
that you know, we haven't seen. Yeah, and I think
(12:14):
like one of them we're talking about the other day
is right now, you're but tight for Tucker put in
all the all the schedule projections and then decide what's
the least profitable class of stock for the next eight weeks.
And ditch that class of stock.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, hey, good on your Pete. We'll let you carry on.
It's pretty busy in your neck of the woods at
the moment, but thanks for your time on the Muster and.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Throughout the year. Enjoy the Christmas season and we'll catch
up in the new year.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah, no worries. I wish everyone out there a great
Christmas and hope everyone out there gets a bit of
a break because they all descrive it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Pete, guard Ian of Napdale, you're listening to the must
remembering text win to five double oh nine to go
into the drawer to win a one hundred dollars Prazzy
card thanks to your age. That's part of the Muster's
Christmas giveaway. Up next Joseph Mooney South and MP.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Aboorded and Nazareth. I won't feeling better half fast there.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
I just need to please.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Welcome back to the Muster South and MP Joseph Mooney
has a chat for the final time this year. Joseph,
good afternoon, Parliament's all wrapped up. You didn't hang around
for the party at the Press gallery by the sounds.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Of it, Oh yeah no no. My final day Parliament
yesterday and after spending thirty three weeks of the year
in parliament. The most exciting thing I could think of
that it was getting home and spending time with my family.
I was the first plane out of me once we
finished parliament.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, it's been a pretty Texas ten days, a couple
of weeks the year, with these long with these long nights.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Was it two am the other morning?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, it was yep, Well just before two am. We
had last week what we do We had ten pm,
which is a normal time, midnight one year, one am,
back at nine am again through midnight again and then
it was just for midnight on Friday night.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
A busy week, but we've got some some great stuff
through and quitting rolling over consents for two years. Well,
the new RMA comes and comes in new force, both
harving the methane targets, putting it out to twenty fifty
and requiring the implicate impact on food production. That's taking
(14:48):
the account by decision makers both ministers, and putting it
in place a requirement that the targets get reviewed in
twenty forty against the most up todate science at that
point and also against the targets and what our major
trading partners are doing, you know, all good sensible stuff
and also disconnecting our domestic targets from the Paris Agreement targets.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The biggest thing around the Paris Agreement of Paris Accord
at the moment, Joseph as we only know so much
about it. We need to have a lot more information
before we can make an informed decision about what we're
supposed to do, because we can't just be new work
with an answer around this, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, it's not one to rush into and you know,
for context one hundred and ninety four countries, it's most
up Toda Num one hundred and four countries and enders
of the Paris Agreements, especially the entire world. Yeah, the
United States has said they're going to withdraw, and there
in their process of doing that, but you know they
did that last time Trump was present, and as soon
(15:50):
as the next present came into power, they went back
in the Paris Agreement. So as a small trading nation,
we had to be quite careful about this stuff, and
you know, to make sure we can still access our
markets around the world. I've been to other places in
the world. I've got very strong farming lobbies would love
(16:10):
to have any reason to loot trade from New Zealand farmers.
So we've got to take a careful, considered approach that
and that's what we're doing in the Paris Agreement. By itself,
it seems that you should be the most ambitious you
can based in national circumstances. The real problem we've got
into with the last government is that they decided to
(16:30):
ignore largely what we could do domestically and focus the
targets on global equity principles and taking a global leadership position.
So you basically focusing on what we could do buying
credits from off shore as opposed to focusing what we
can do domestically. So that's where we make some sensible
(16:50):
changes with this government, is as you're refocusing back on
what we can actually realistically do anything and putting the
targets out to a reasonable point, which is twenty fifteen,
so we've got time to work away through it, you know,
and it's all be credible on the international stage so
we can access these markets.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So you look back at twenty twenty five from your
political lens, I suppose what's been the standouts.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I look with I think like in terms of the
region ruin New Zealand. We've implement an extraordinary range of
policies to reset not both the policy things and also
the narrative around the primary sector and farming New Zealand
(17:39):
and just under underlying how important it is and policies
that support that. We've implied all but one of the
Federal Farmer's election policy Manifesto for example, and you know,
just just in the last week these and effect in
the last couple of days signature pieces of policy. Should
(18:02):
probably be one of the most lasting impacts from this
government is putting the replacement for the Resource Management Act,
which has just been creating enormous cost in time to
everyone across New Zealand, whatever sector they are in. And
you know local government as well. It's sort of one
(18:24):
of the one of the key things that's probably been
driving from my prospected rates arises as local government gets
into more and more complex policy, the local policy implementation
of national policy directions, et cetera. So this is a
huge piece of work. It's going to make a big
difference in New Zealand. So I think a great way
(18:46):
to around the ear up now.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
As far as these are amazed and ramifications around the
merging your councils.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What happens next, Well, they're currently a feedback ECN the place.
Now if anyone wants to do that, they can go
online and so quick Google you'll find it easily. So
that's the sort of information gathering on the proposals that
have that Minister Bishop and mister Watts have put forward.
(19:14):
And then for me, they'll direct officials to start drafting
up the uh you know proposal. But it's that there's
there's a lot of discussions already happening in councilors all
around the hill and from the top of the South
for the top of the Horse of the bottom of
the South, and it's a it's a real opportunity for
local government to think about how best to take advantage
(19:39):
of this change in the RM for this appetite for
local government reform. You know, ultimately we aimly have a
much more streamlined systems that delivers for people in whatever
sector they are in. So I think it's been the
opportunity for our region.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And just finally, what we learned back in the October
this was that ural connectivity is a real issue going forward.
Are we going to see changes to this in twenty
twenty six, because I think this has to be high
on the agenda.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah. Absolutely, real realick is a big one. It's me
talk to that is absolutely and it's directly connected to
energy as well, because you won't have real connect to
the unless you've got something to power what a device
you're using to connect, So those two go hand in hand,
and that's certainly something that's going to be Yeah, I
think quite a focus going forwards. Technology is changing this rapidly.
(20:35):
Talking to the guy who's in charge for the overall
network across the whole country, I think we're going to
see quite a shift towards more of the you know,
starlink type technologies. You know something is the most well known,
but it's not the only one, but you know, go
in hand in hand with that is.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Well. You know, there's there's more.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Week to be done in terms of the current technologies
that we have and also ensuring that we've got sustainable
energy supply if and when now an event like we
had a few months ago happened.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Again, let's keep that three G network going. Joseph Mooney
MP for South and we'll leave it there, mate. Thank
you very much for your time on the Muster this year.
Enjoy the Christmas season and we'll catch up. Always appreciated
our chats.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Oh good mate, look wishing you are very merry. Christmas
happened you and also the same to everyone listening and
an idea, but a lot of folks will be working
through so lot'k. Just take my hats off to you.
Thank you for what you're doing and I hope you
have time to spend some time with your loved ones.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland remembering text win to five
double nine thanks to euro Agri your one hundred dollars
Preezy card up for grabs today and the Muster's Christmas
giveaway up next from euro Egor. Actually on that note,
John Brady, Welcome.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Back to the Muster.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It is the Master Christmas Giveaway select to the farm
of this afternoon. John Brady of euro Egory joins me
to talk about how things have been over the past
week while and as well about how you can get
into a chance to win the Preezy car thanks to
the team at euro Egory.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
John Welcome, How are you doing pretty good yourself? Hell's
things been lately.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Been very very good, obviously a very slow start to
the season with a wet spring, but definitely torn around
pretty quick and things looking very positive now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So you guys are pretty busy at the moment.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Yeah, that last rush before Christmas, just trying to get
last machines out the door and get everybody up and
running and that mayhem of just trying to get all
the crops and the grown before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So you're egory, go back to the nuts and bolts. Literally,
what are you guys about?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
So you're agree. We based in Southland and main importers
for European machinery like Lincoln bread Ale Missouri. Heava hans
A fertilizer spreaders out of Australia. So yeah, just a
professional range of machinery.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Just a lot of different nepplements I suppose.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Yeah, cover a lot of cultivation gear, seeding gear kind
of specially spraying and fertilizer gear.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
As far as cultivation gear. It's an interesting hell. We
talk about technology changing, but it's the same. A lot
of systems these days. You can do, I say, you're
laughing now, you know what a city city? You play
it your roll at your disk, you disk your disc.
You might leave a lot a couple of times, but
these days it's like a one pass and a lot
of instances.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It is.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
It is definitely like it is very trying times out
there at the minute, and obviously well like the payouts
coming down again unfortunately there I say it out loud,
but a big thing like the price of machinery is
skyrocket and exchange rates are hurting things. But the big
topic around the place in a minute, especially with contractors
and even just large scale crop farmers, is it's all efficiency.
(24:08):
How can we do the job better for cheap or
without sacrificing. So, for example, it was a big machine
ie installed last week for a contractor and a one
pass seeder, so I'll go straight into plowed ground and
he's putting kale and annual grasp and that is yet
just straight in with a powerhero and an air seeder
(24:28):
on the back. Beautiful finish, went to your cards on
it again. So it's just trying to do less compaction,
look after the ground more, but at the same time
save the end user. That's efficiency exactly. Yeah, yeah, get
more for less. Isn't that what everybody wants?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
What about twill versus non too?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Are you saying much of a change there. H.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
My jury is still out on that and I probably
need to be careful what I say because I deal
with boat.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Next question this when you say both have the APPLA.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Definitely do.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And like I spent a lot of time working in
the UK before it came out here and mentil no
till was all big in there, like everything has a place,
but it's all a cycle. Personally, I don't feel you
can go one way that you've got it. You've got
to have a circle of doing a bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What's your what's a big thing to go people to
remember when they purchase thing? Would you say looking at the.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Size, longevity, how long the machine's gonna last, especially for
the price of them nowadays? Ummm, what what the wear
is like on it? And most of all, what kind
of job was it doing? Like I know everyone thinks
(25:45):
just cultivators just sticking the ground, torn your dirt over
and put seed in the grow. But with the whole
cost again and structure of actually doing the whole process
now of getting your seed in the ground. You need
to be getting your best yield out of everything. And
that means like it's no different to painting the wall.
If you just go and slap paint on a wall,
and you see every imperfection. You've got to do all
(26:07):
the steps beforehand properly. You've got to skim it properly
and everything. And that's just down to getting your nice
even finished. All that kind of stuff even just consistency.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
See, you look at Ireland, You've been involved of farming
over there and over in New Zealand. When it comes
to the egg sign of such a machinery as it
much of a correlation between the.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Hemospheres, very very similar atmosphere, very similar practices. A lot
of my customers are probably gonna shoot me for saying this.
I do feel Ireland and Europe is probably still ten
years ahead on how to do things. And I do
see a lot of that stuff starting to flow down here,
like the one past systems I mentioned first, spreading section control,
(26:49):
like just getting better value from money. It definitely is
all starting to come in down here when guys are
trying to save money. But even down to seed and
like you said, you had a bit of experience Fairman
back in a day, like I've got grain drills out there.
Now it's sex control auto shut off, like it'll turn
itself on and off on the headlines. And it's all
(27:11):
just comming down to again your efficiency SAVEN on seed
saven and everything. But at the same time, you can't
just think idiots driveing it now. You've got to have
proper operators, which are getting hard on herd to find.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But a lot of attractors are steering themselves as well.
I mean, you're getting to the point the only thing
attractor won't do for you is make your cap of tea.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Oh pretty much, yep, pretty much right.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So anyway, for the Master Christmas giveaway, thanks to the

Speaker 4 (28:41):
The Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef and Lamb,
New Zealand. Go to Beef and Lambenz dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Clear Suthenberg of Beef and Lea, New Zealand joins us
this afternoon. Get a clear heals things been in a
busy December.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Yeah, good things, Andy, really just winding down for the
Christmas break, I suppose so, yeah, it's been a busy week,
just tying up some loose ends, but looking forward to
the end.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We just look back at the year from a Beef
and Lamb's perspective, I suppose, Clear, there's been some pretty
cool stuff going on.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
There is an in this year we've had obviously the
implementation of our folks groups, So that's been really exciting
for us to get those kicked off from an organizational
point of view. They've been getting going across the country
and the feedback has been really good so far. So
it's been good to keep those underway.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So as far as events sort of occurred over the
past couple of weeks, what do you start winding down
when he gets to December because it's just too busy
for stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, we had our last Farming for Profit field day
last week up at the Wadsworth Place, the Yoda Piri
Gorge there and it was a fantastic day out looking
at Resolution and farm Iq so really around the high
management software. That was a great day out. But definitely
our numbers were light as a normal and I've definitely
put that down to the time of the year. This
(30:11):
for us, once we start cracking into December, that we are,
you know, winding up our delivery on farm and getting
our planning underway for the year here and.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The days of having this being the champion of Snake
on the thirty two ten is a thing of the past.
And more than anything, a cell phone is a business tool.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Oh how many farmers. Do you see now without a
cell phone and on that phone with a number of
different you know, apps and things.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Even Graham Evans, i'd imagine has got it.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
You know, he does better with us WhatsApp. He deletes
himself out of a group every now and then we
have to go and retract and find them. But yep, no,
even Graham, he does.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He's got it.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Thanks Graham. Yeah, we keep him on.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh that's fantastic, Gido Graham. If you're tuning and hope
everything's going well over.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
There in a waka. Yeah, what's been the big take
for you from the year.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Assuming? I think it's that, you know, farmers are keen
to learn about what's happening. It's it's a fast paced industry.
Things are changing rapidly, and you know, farmers want to
keep up to date with what's happening. So we as
an organization need to keep up and be you try
and be one step ahead to ensure that our farmers
(31:29):
are well informed. I mean, you see from all different levels,
going right from government down to regional perspectives, there's so
much regulation coming in that we, you know, need to
be aware of and able to guide our farmers through
this practice. Yeah, it's it's great to have farmers engaged.
(31:49):
Farmers want to learn, they want to be a part
of it, and if we can give them a good
time whilst doing some im all about it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What about the wool industry has had a few couple
of positives over the past six weeks or so. Do
you think we're going to see that continue?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Well, that's that's a nigglia one Andy. I think if
you're passionate about it, if you know, we don't be passionate,
so to speak, but if you value that. It's the
quality of wool that I think is going to be
our biggest challenge because the industry, you know, we haven't
we haven't been seeing returns and that the quality of
our clip has has declined quite significantly. So I think
(32:26):
that's going to be our biggest challenge as we see
more of that renewable, sustainable approach comes through. I do
think that the place for war was going to remain.
It's just creating markets that are actually going to produce
us with value we were going to get paid for it.
We do still see a lot of farmers, you know,
(32:47):
looking to you know, go into more of the shedding
side of things, so that's definitely still there. But a
lot of that, from what I understand, is actually to
do with you know, input. People are wanting to reduce
the amount of work associated with sheep, so we're wanting
to look for animals that have be a breach or
(33:08):
shedding and also the parasites are being resistant to parasites.
It is going to be a biggie too, but while
in itself, I think there's always going to be a
place for it, just ensuring that we're going to be
able to access the right markets as far.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
As beef and lamb. What are the dates when you're
back on the tools as such?
Speaker 8 (33:27):
For me, I'm back on the twelfth, so I've gone
and taken, as I love to call myself a good
corporate worker here, actually get to tap out and enjoy
some time with the kids over the Christmas New Year.
But me myself, I'm not coming back to the twelfth,
so we'll actually I'm really looking forward to enjoying that
time with family.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, that's what it's all about. Clear.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Hey, thanks for your time on the muster this year.
Beef and the New Zealand. Fantastic to be aligned with you. Guys,
you enjoy those three weeks off and we'll do it
all again next season or next year.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Thanks ad appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:03):

(34:36):
Welcome back to the Muster remembering to text and when

hundred dollars one hundred dollars preezy card to give away
of course as part of the Muster Christmas giveaway. Not
from our resident sporting Guru for the final time in
twenty twenty five House things.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, very good mate. Speaking of winning, registrations are open
for the EMLTAM Moonshine Trail and the Wensley Cycles Surf
the city at the moment. So you can win the
summer by signing up for one of those one of
those events, get on it.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
You can win the summer by signing up. What a catshrase.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
That's your summer sorted. We've actually got another thing called
summer as we we're going to be out out and
about sort of rewarding people for getting it, getting amongst
those amazing green spaces we've got across Southenders well, so
you can check out the details on our socials for that.
But that's enough. There's a lot. There's a plenty of
sport to talk about, isn't he mate? Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Is there what? Firstly, Jacob Duffy.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I had him on the show earlier in the week
before the OPR loction. He sounded pretty relaxed about it,
but RCB Royal challenges Benga Lurdu I think it's how
to pronounce it as he's away over there and for
his base price but still worth over three hundred and
fifty k.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Yeah, and you just can't help but get excited about this,
Ken you really, it's great to see Duffers. He's he's
been such a toiler and such a great ambassador for
Southern cricket. He's played his hard out for a Tigo
for for years and years years and he's finally sort
of the repping the rewards. You know, he probably reached
a point in his career where he wondered whether any
(36:08):
of these sorts of iron is ever going to come
his way. But he's he's just kept trying, he's kept
trying to get better and he's doing a great job,
whether it's whether it's with the white ball in New
Zealand now the red ball in New Zealand and obviously
getting over to the IPL is a huge accomplishment, and.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's really intrenched himself in that Kiwi bowling lineup. Used
there are injuries, but when you're getting the fifers like
he has two Tests in a row, you can't ignore that,
especially with England on the horizon in June and the
massive mess of law that is a tour to Australia
next year.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Yeah, you did right mate. I think the biggest endorsement
he can have is that whether it's Mitch Santner or
Tom Latham, either of those two New Zealand captains are
comfortable throwing the ball to him and know that he'll
do a job, and that job is more than he'll
take wickets. So all of a sudden sort of found
himself with a few injuries and whatnot, he's, you know,
(37:04):
the senior bowler in that in that New Zealand pace attack,
which is I guess if you look back twelve months ago,
is almost almost unfathomal. But every opportunity gets he sort
of takes with both hands and he never stops trying.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
The funny thing about this, though, was the way that
Indian press look at New Zealand. I went and googled
what they were saying about this. There was a newspaper
over there talking about and being from the town of Lumson,
three hundred odd people. But the town goes through snowstorms
that keep the town under snow for over half the year.
Yet his father still managed to build a cricket pitch
for him and his brothers to play on. I guess
(37:41):
the truth getting the way of a story, right, yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Are the facts getting the way of a good story? Yeah? Yeah?
I mean if it adds to the mystique and you know,
helps to helps to get him selected and get him paid,
then you know, I think lums lums that will take that.
Maybe maybe lums that will become a new tourist mecca
with curious Indian absolutely plenty of them out there. They
(38:05):
might want to they might want to add lumsdon to
their to their tour itinery when they when they're heading
down this way just so they can they can see
where the Jacob Duffy's hometown is.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Well, these people in the cosplay want to go to
Hobbiton and that with these I p L interests of
people might want to come down to south and then
follow the Duffy trail and just follow where cricketers in
New Zealand playing and the IPL come from.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Who knows you head down.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
To the LCG and check out the old artificial.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
And they might need to clean up their horses on it.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Last week when I drove past the Yes is more
controversy Alex Carey hitting a ton but should have been
given out because technology failed badly?
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Isn't it amazing? I haven't can't remember a walking controversy
in recent times. There must have been some, but I
guess in this day and age, do any international cricketers walk?
I don't know, you know, I guess that's what they'll
They'll say that that's what the technology exists for. And
I guess when it's your livelihood and and there's so
much on the line, and there's there's a there's a
(39:04):
million cameras and microphones there then I guess at someone
else's job to sort that out, and every now and
again it doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Now we look at the year in review for Southland,
how would you rate it on general and sporting?
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Since it's been a funny old year, hasn't it. If
I guess if we hone in on on our three
franchise teams, Southern Steel under under Wendy Threw coming in
in her rookie year of coaching, and they got so
close to those playoffs, which which was a great result
I guess in the context of the last few seasons,
(39:36):
and and really brought some pride and some enthusiasm back
into I guess that the following for that franchise really
probably look to instill a lot of the I guess
that ethos that Robin Broughton had created with previous Thing
and Steel teams, and that was great to see. Interesting
(39:57):
to see it also sort of coming into the up
up the road with the with the tactics of with
Donnald Wilkins being involved up there as well and obviously
having a hugely successful season. So yep, they I mean
still were great the crowds where the crowds came back
and really supported that team. The Sharks put themselves in
a hole really early in that season, but then managed
(40:19):
to go win nine on the trot. No one would
have picked them to smash the Canoby Rams the way
they did in the semi final, but gee, they just
did a job and that and that semi got themselves
through to a final and against the Wellington Saints and well,
if the ball had to just bounced a different way
in the last few players of that that game, we
could have been celebrating another NBL title. And there were
(40:40):
great performances from that from that team in general. But
jis I like picking up the MVP title first time
that the Sharks player has done. That just outstanding. And
it's before we even get onto the Stags.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Mate, No, I know, we get onto the Stags and
we just looked back to that occasion of winning the
round Freely Shield and the euphoria that was around the
province and it was short lived.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
I guess when you're a Stags fan, it's always a
roller coaster, but the roller coaster head it was more
roller coastery than the normal. And twenty twenty five wasn't it.
You know? When you look at it, it was a
I guess it was an interesting start to the season.
And then we got to the halfway point or halftime
against Manawatu, Nathan White throws a chair and then all
(41:27):
of a sudden we come back from twenty two points
down to win that game. Literally the fireworks went off
at Rugby Park when that game finished. Then we go
up and just play just almost flawless rugby to beat
Bay of Plenty and then and then rock up to
Hamilton and this is a this is a Southern rugby
team which you could I mean, we just don't win
(41:49):
games in the North Island. And then all of a
sudden we can beat Baya Plenty and then we can
rock up to Hamilton and take on the Renfrewy shield
holders and not work it over to you know, it's
only the third time in the last fifty years that
the Stags have mounted a successful shield challenge. But then
(42:10):
after that the old wheels sort of fell off a
little bit and it was a bit of a grind
through to the end of the year. But you know,
if you offered any sort of Stags fan a renfully
shield when at the start of the season, surely you
want to snap your hand off for it.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
There's no need to go to the Gold Coast and
the theme parks and you're a Stags fan. Nathan Burdon,
thank you very much for your time over the year.
You enjoy the holiday season. Let's do it all again

ten two twenty for good spring lanes million names. The
one seventy five to one five one ninety, or just
a smaller of the spring Lands made be one hundred

still up close to three hundred dollars. And if they
cut their teeth one twenty one to thirty and in
the Mattain section, the mutton, mister heavy used sort of
two ten to two twenty two thirty.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
That's very heavy.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
Use it as milliums to the one sixty five, one
seventy five, one eighty and the light of the US
arounds one hundred and thirty hundred and forty dollars. Still lambs,
he still lambs selling well, and the best then one
forty five to one fifty five milliums of one thirty
five one forty just with the smaller.
Speaker 6 (44:53):
Lambs, the very small lands make.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
One hundred having five hundred ten dollars, and they would
figure up to up endy.
Speaker 2 (44:58):

Gardine Farming and Netdale has been all go this morning
and into the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Pete Howse sings, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Good good, you got a really good song there. It's
one of those lift yut, pump you up songs. And
the truck is just pulled out of the sheepyards up
here at Pyramid and the transport must be busy because
one of the big cheese is on the truck and
he's it's a bit sweatier I think in the truck
than it is in the office.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
One of the big cheese is in the truck. You know,
guns into the gunnel, right.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Oh yeah, No, the transports at winning time, they do
a pretty awesome job. And we used to cut our
own lambs, and I know how nutty it is and
how hard it is to organize everything. And yeah, all
those truck drives, all those other people, they play a
super important part to our industry.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, a big shout out as well.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Everybody on the road in the trucks, but the stockees,
everybody organizing the trucks, the dispatches and the likes.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's a hell of a job in the middle of December.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
We used to.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I used to have a bitch of stock feed side
of things as well. And yeah, as you get to
these public holidays and stuff, it can make a lot
of these scheduling pretty tricky. And yeah, there's a lot
of those unseen people that we sometimes should get about
when we're farming.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, twenty four hours in the day, that's a great point.
So you've been weaning.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
How's it been. Are you quite happy with your numbers?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
We're pretty happy. We've got about thirteen fifty away and
that's all over forty kgs, so we're sort of hanging
up around that twenty and a half, well, just over
that roughly. Yeah, I'm a big believer in big lambs.
I really wanted to go bigger this year, but we
are just struggling for moisture at Napdale, so we've kept
(05:00):
the weight's down and weave it. Yeah, but we had
a couple of antibiotic ones and they went twenty twenty
twos and a half and quite like the look of
that sheet actually, and that's sort of in the future.
I want to keep pushing, pushing heavier.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Ah Sease, you'll be looking at two hundred and twenty
our backs straight off the calf even more, wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, we're doing about that at the moment. But when
you looked at that other sheet, it was two hundred
and forty four or something like that, and that was
even with the antibodic deductions. Yeah, so we'll click on
up to twenty threes probably again this season like we
did last season in February. And I think the answer
to the less sheep is actually just grow your lambs.
(05:39):
Bigger to put another two kilograms of carcass weight on.
That's ten percent more production, and it doesn't take ten
percent more feed when you look at your whole sheep enterprise,
and I think it's easier to yeah, just pack more
weight on animals. A its like my father says, you
can only kill them once and not all of that
saying's great, But that's time that I think is good.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You've always been a big believer in heavy lambs though,
going away regardless.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Definitely, Yeah, And like where we are at the moment,
we're on pretty dry health country there at Pyramid. It's
only a small block, but we take them home and
we finish them. And I was surprised to have the
lambs who got away here off the hill. The aim
here is really just to have nice, healthy lambs that
are easy to take home and finish, rather than lots
(06:25):
of lambs at the winning time. But yeah, I just
see the feed efficiency. We're doing a weave it with
Simon's annie Epicus bio on Fharmax modeling. You know what
air seats per kilogram of dry mat every turns are
in sheef and beef, and we're really trying to push
the boundaries on that, because I want to be in business,
(06:46):
and I want to stay in business, and I want
to thrive in business, and we can only do that
if we keep pushing the boundaries. You know, we're not
doing what we're doing thirty years ago, and that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So how often are you changing you goals? You're talking
about twenty two k lambs going to the works, and
if you're achieving that, now, what are you thinking? I
do note like six twelve months down the line? How
does your brain operate in that capacity?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
How my brain operates? It's a loaded question, and you
could ask anybody and you've get some pretty interesting answers
on suggest.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, I'm going straight to the horse's mouth around it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, No, it's a very fair question. I personally don't
have a lot of goals around weight. It's all about
maximizing the financials. And why I say that is because
we're on a low rainfall area at home and we've
just got to roll with what we've got. So if
we've got feed, we utilize it. If we don't, we
pulled the pin. So we have just sold some new
lambs that we were going to sell anyway. We've pulled
(07:43):
that sale forward a month. Because we are types of feed.
We only had twenty eight meals in November and twenty
eight meals so far this month, so I'm sort of
hanging out for a bit more moisture. But where we
want to go to? I look at the schedule and
I look at how heavy can we go before we
get the acted and as the goal posting rays, we
just keep going up. When I know you had a
(08:06):
week yarn about eating quality with old made up a
mile flats. Yeah, James Egger, and eating quality has got
a lot to do with how well and animals finished,
and long story short, the bigger it is, the fatter
and frivor it is the way good eating quality. I
think we should be illegal to kill lambs under eighteen
(08:29):
kg's or under seventeen kgs. And I actually think they
need to go down to a flat land farm and
get finished properly. And that's not trying to be offensive
or anything like that. It's just those lean, hard lambs
are not a good eating experience, and we want to
push the limits on im from the top end. But
I think it's more important to reduce the bad eating
(08:51):
experiences of you know, lamb and the same ghast of
beef too. But with beef, if it's not that great,
they're just minced it up and it doesn't really matter. Yeah,
because if we want to if we want to be
serious about a quality product, it's actually got to be
a quality product.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But a seventeen k lamb at the same time, so
as catered for by the market, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
It is I And there's a difference between a really
prime seventeen and a hard seventeen.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
And yeah, like I would eat a fat prime lamb
any day of the week, like a pea lamb over
a y lamb any day of the week. And when
you look into the genetic side of things, there's not
a perfect correlation, but there is a pretty steady correlation
between fat on the outside to fat on the inside
in regards and tra muscular fat. And yeah, how we've bred,
(09:46):
probably in the last twenty years, there has been a
penalization in the terminal Sawer indexes against like fat, and
that has harmed us a wee bit, which is a
wee bit unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So look into the next twelve months of the farming landscape.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
What do you see?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
What I see? I'm really hoping to see a whole
lot of rain, you know what I see. I think
the sheep and beef thing looks pretty tidy. I still
am nervous to say that it's going to last. Some
of the other correspondents to do, and they probably have
a bit more informed than I am, But to me,
it's just and that's what the runs on the board.
(10:24):
While it's there. I think there's going to be a
continuation of people pushing the boundaries and challenging what's happened
in the past. And I only say that because that's
what's happened for the last one hundred and fifty years
of agriculture.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
In New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And if we want to stay relevant, then we're a
world away from most of our markets. That's what we've
got to do. I love the idea of things like
Halter and all this technology, and people will say these
good things about bad things about it, but it's all
the evolution of what we do, and it's it's cool
(11:02):
and farming's always done it in the past. No one's
no one's still plowing with a horse.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Are they, unless you're doing vendor's plowing?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Perhaps no, unless we sorry, no one's commercially farming with
a horse, and I just see that evolution and I
think that, like you know, holters, I see AI as
being a real big asset to farming. And why I
say that is like the jobs that are getting taken
away by AI are not really our jobs. There are
(11:33):
all the jobs you hate. I don't see accountancy and
those sort of industries really getting a huge growth in
the future because A is just going to dominate that. Yeah.
I mean we wrote an article with GDP not that
long ago, and yeah, well, you can put your words
into a bit of paper and bea dyslexicr me put
(11:53):
it into that and tidy it up and work alongside it.
And it's amazing what that will do. And yeah, it's
it's pretty exciting. I mean, you can build apps. Even
as a farmer, you can do lots of things, and
I think it's just unlocks a whole lot of stuff
that you know, we haven't seen. Yeah, and I think
(12:14):
like one of them we're talking about the other day
is right now, you're but tight for Tucker put in
all the all the schedule projections and then decide what's
the least profitable class of stock for the next eight weeks.
And ditch that class of stock.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, hey, good on your Pete. We'll let you carry on.
It's pretty busy in your neck of the woods at
the moment, but thanks for your time on the Muster and.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Throughout the year. Enjoy the Christmas season and we'll catch
up in the new year.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah, no worries. I wish everyone out there a great
Christmas and hope everyone out there gets a bit of
a break because they all descrive it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Pete, guard Ian of Napdale, you're listening to the must
remembering text win to five double oh nine to go
into the drawer to win a one hundred dollars Prazzy
card thanks to your age. That's part of the Muster's
Christmas giveaway. Up next Joseph Mooney South and MP.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Aboorded and Nazareth. I won't feeling better half fast there.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
I just need to please.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Welcome back to the Muster South and MP Joseph Mooney
has a chat for the final time this year. Joseph,
good afternoon, Parliament's all wrapped up. You didn't hang around
for the party at the Press gallery by the sounds.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Of it, Oh yeah no no. My final day Parliament
yesterday and after spending thirty three weeks of the year
in parliament. The most exciting thing I could think of
that it was getting home and spending time with my family.
I was the first plane out of me once we
finished parliament.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, it's been a pretty Texas ten days, a couple
of weeks the year, with these long with these long nights.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Was it two am the other morning?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, it was yep, Well just before two am. We
had last week what we do We had ten pm,
which is a normal time, midnight one year, one am,
back at nine am again through midnight again and then
it was just for midnight on Friday night.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
A busy week, but we've got some some great stuff
through and quitting rolling over consents for two years. Well,
the new RMA comes and comes in new force, both
harving the methane targets, putting it out to twenty fifty
and requiring the implicate impact on food production. That's taking
(14:48):
the account by decision makers both ministers, and putting it
in place a requirement that the targets get reviewed in
twenty forty against the most up todate science at that
point and also against the targets and what our major
trading partners are doing, you know, all good sensible stuff
and also disconnecting our domestic targets from the Paris Agreement targets.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The biggest thing around the Paris Agreement of Paris Accord
at the moment, Joseph as we only know so much
about it. We need to have a lot more information
before we can make an informed decision about what we're
supposed to do, because we can't just be new work
with an answer around this, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, it's not one to rush into and you know,
for context one hundred and ninety four countries, it's most
up Toda Num one hundred and four countries and enders
of the Paris Agreements, especially the entire world. Yeah, the
United States has said they're going to withdraw, and there
in their process of doing that, but you know they
did that last time Trump was present, and as soon
(15:50):
as the next present came into power, they went back
in the Paris Agreement. So as a small trading nation,
we had to be quite careful about this stuff, and
you know, to make sure we can still access our
markets around the world. I've been to other places in
the world. I've got very strong farming lobbies would love
(16:10):
to have any reason to loot trade from New Zealand farmers.
So we've got to take a careful, considered approach that
and that's what we're doing in the Paris Agreement. By itself,
it seems that you should be the most ambitious you
can based in national circumstances. The real problem we've got
into with the last government is that they decided to
(16:30):
ignore largely what we could do domestically and focus the
targets on global equity principles and taking a global leadership position.
So you basically focusing on what we could do buying
credits from off shore as opposed to focusing what we
can do domestically. So that's where we make some sensible
(16:50):
changes with this government, is as you're refocusing back on
what we can actually realistically do anything and putting the
targets out to a reasonable point, which is twenty fifteen,
so we've got time to work away through it, you know,
and it's all be credible on the international stage so
we can access these markets.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So you look back at twenty twenty five from your
political lens, I suppose what's been the standouts.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I look with I think like in terms of the
region ruin New Zealand. We've implement an extraordinary range of
policies to reset not both the policy things and also
the narrative around the primary sector and farming New Zealand
(17:39):
and just under underlying how important it is and policies
that support that. We've implied all but one of the
Federal Farmer's election policy Manifesto for example, and you know,
just just in the last week these and effect in
the last couple of days signature pieces of policy. Should
(18:02):
probably be one of the most lasting impacts from this
government is putting the replacement for the Resource Management Act,
which has just been creating enormous cost in time to
everyone across New Zealand, whatever sector they are in. And
you know local government as well. It's sort of one
(18:24):
of the one of the key things that's probably been
driving from my prospected rates arises as local government gets
into more and more complex policy, the local policy implementation
of national policy directions, et cetera. So this is a
huge piece of work. It's going to make a big
difference in New Zealand. So I think a great way
(18:46):
to around the ear up now.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
As far as these are amazed and ramifications around the
merging your councils.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What happens next, Well, they're currently a feedback ECN the place.
Now if anyone wants to do that, they can go
online and so quick Google you'll find it easily. So
that's the sort of information gathering on the proposals that
have that Minister Bishop and mister Watts have put forward.
(19:14):
And then for me, they'll direct officials to start drafting
up the uh you know proposal. But it's that there's
there's a lot of discussions already happening in councilors all
around the hill and from the top of the South
for the top of the Horse of the bottom of
the South, and it's a it's a real opportunity for
local government to think about how best to take advantage
(19:39):
of this change in the RM for this appetite for
local government reform. You know, ultimately we aimly have a
much more streamlined systems that delivers for people in whatever
sector they are in. So I think it's been the
opportunity for our region.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And just finally, what we learned back in the October
this was that ural connectivity is a real issue going forward.
Are we going to see changes to this in twenty
twenty six, because I think this has to be high
on the agenda.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah. Absolutely, real realick is a big one. It's me
talk to that is absolutely and it's directly connected to
energy as well, because you won't have real connect to
the unless you've got something to power what a device
you're using to connect, So those two go hand in hand,
and that's certainly something that's going to be Yeah, I
think quite a focus going forwards. Technology is changing this rapidly.
(20:35):
Talking to the guy who's in charge for the overall
network across the whole country, I think we're going to
see quite a shift towards more of the you know,
starlink type technologies. You know something is the most well known,
but it's not the only one, but you know, go
in hand in hand with that is.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Well. You know, there's there's more.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Week to be done in terms of the current technologies
that we have and also ensuring that we've got sustainable
energy supply if and when now an event like we
had a few months ago happened.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Again, let's keep that three G network going. Joseph Mooney
MP for South and we'll leave it there, mate. Thank
you very much for your time on the Muster this year.
Enjoy the Christmas season and we'll catch up. Always appreciated
our chats.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Oh good mate, look wishing you are very merry. Christmas
happened you and also the same to everyone listening and
an idea, but a lot of folks will be working
through so lot'k. Just take my hats off to you.
Thank you for what you're doing and I hope you
have time to spend some time with your loved ones.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland remembering text win to five
double nine thanks to euro Agri your one hundred dollars
Preezy card up for grabs today and the Muster's Christmas
giveaway up next from euro Egor. Actually on that note,
John Brady, Welcome.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Back to the Muster.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It is the Master Christmas Giveaway select to the farm
of this afternoon. John Brady of euro Egory joins me
to talk about how things have been over the past
week while and as well about how you can get
into a chance to win the Preezy car thanks to
the team at euro Egory.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
John Welcome, How are you doing pretty good yourself? Hell's
things been lately.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Been very very good, obviously a very slow start to
the season with a wet spring, but definitely torn around
pretty quick and things looking very positive now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So you guys are pretty busy at the moment.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Yeah, that last rush before Christmas, just trying to get
last machines out the door and get everybody up and
running and that mayhem of just trying to get all
the crops and the grown before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So you're egory, go back to the nuts and bolts. Literally,
what are you guys about?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
So you're agree. We based in Southland and main importers
for European machinery like Lincoln bread Ale Missouri. Heava hans
A fertilizer spreaders out of Australia. So yeah, just a
professional range of machinery.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Just a lot of different nepplements I suppose.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Yeah, cover a lot of cultivation gear, seeding gear kind
of specially spraying and fertilizer gear.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
As far as cultivation gear. It's an interesting hell. We
talk about technology changing, but it's the same. A lot
of systems these days. You can do, I say, you're
laughing now, you know what a city city? You play
it your roll at your disk, you disk your disc.
You might leave a lot a couple of times, but
these days it's like a one pass and a lot
of instances.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It is.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
It is definitely like it is very trying times out
there at the minute, and obviously well like the payouts
coming down again unfortunately there I say it out loud,
but a big thing like the price of machinery is
skyrocket and exchange rates are hurting things. But the big
topic around the place in a minute, especially with contractors
and even just large scale crop farmers, is it's all efficiency.
(24:08):
How can we do the job better for cheap or
without sacrificing. So, for example, it was a big machine
ie installed last week for a contractor and a one
pass seeder, so I'll go straight into plowed ground and
he's putting kale and annual grasp and that is yet
just straight in with a powerhero and an air seeder
(24:28):
on the back. Beautiful finish, went to your cards on
it again. So it's just trying to do less compaction,
look after the ground more, but at the same time
save the end user. That's efficiency exactly. Yeah, yeah, get
more for less. Isn't that what everybody wants?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
What about twill versus non too?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Are you saying much of a change there. H.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
My jury is still out on that and I probably
need to be careful what I say because I deal
with boat.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Next question this when you say both have the APPLA.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Definitely do.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And like I spent a lot of time working in
the UK before it came out here and mentil no
till was all big in there, like everything has a place,
but it's all a cycle. Personally, I don't feel you
can go one way that you've got it. You've got
to have a circle of doing a bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
What's your what's a big thing to go people to
remember when they purchase thing? Would you say looking at the.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Size, longevity, how long the machine's gonna last, especially for
the price of them nowadays? Ummm, what what the wear
is like on it? And most of all, what kind
of job was it doing? Like I know everyone thinks
(25:45):
just cultivators just sticking the ground, torn your dirt over
and put seed in the grow. But with the whole
cost again and structure of actually doing the whole process
now of getting your seed in the ground. You need
to be getting your best yield out of everything. And
that means like it's no different to painting the wall.
If you just go and slap paint on a wall,
and you see every imperfection. You've got to do all
(26:07):
the steps beforehand properly. You've got to skim it properly
and everything. And that's just down to getting your nice
even finished. All that kind of stuff even just consistency.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
See, you look at Ireland, You've been involved of farming
over there and over in New Zealand. When it comes
to the egg sign of such a machinery as it
much of a correlation between the.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Hemospheres, very very similar atmosphere, very similar practices. A lot
of my customers are probably gonna shoot me for saying this.
I do feel Ireland and Europe is probably still ten
years ahead on how to do things. And I do
see a lot of that stuff starting to flow down here,
like the one past systems I mentioned first, spreading section control,
(26:49):
like just getting better value from money. It definitely is
all starting to come in down here when guys are
trying to save money. But even down to seed and
like you said, you had a bit of experience Fairman
back in a day, like I've got grain drills out there.
Now it's sex control auto shut off, like it'll turn
itself on and off on the headlines. And it's all
(27:11):
just comming down to again your efficiency SAVEN on seed
saven and everything. But at the same time, you can't
just think idiots driveing it now. You've got to have
proper operators, which are getting hard on herd to find.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But a lot of attractors are steering themselves as well.
I mean, you're getting to the point the only thing
attractor won't do for you is make your cap of tea.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Oh pretty much, yep, pretty much right.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So anyway, for the Master Christmas giveaway, thanks to the
team that you're agrie, we've got one hundred dollars pretty
care well wanting people to text win to five double
O nine with your details.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Will draw this tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
And yeah, just in general, I suppose John, when you
look at the farming landscape down here, Yes we talk
about the payout, it's gone down, but overall everything's looking
pretty good through.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
The very very positive yep, like it's torn into a
very good season. Where's pick or phenomenal growl down there?
Everybody seems very positive. Yeah, I definitely think it's going
to finish off with a very good strong year.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Hey, good on you, John, Thanks for coming in studio
and euro Agri part of the Muster's Christmas giveaway.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Appreciate your time. Thanks for having me, John Brady of
euro Egri.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Get texting win to five double a nine with your details,
put your details on the end. Make it easy so
you got more chance of winning as well for that
one hundred dollars Praezy voucher thanks to euro Egri. Up
next from Beef and let New Zealand. Clear Totenburg, you're
listening to the Muster.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
The Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef and Lamb,
New Zealand. Go to Beef and Lambenz dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Clear Suthenberg of Beef and Lea, New Zealand joins us
this afternoon. Get a clear heals things been in a
busy December.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Yeah, good things, Andy, really just winding down for the
Christmas break, I suppose so, yeah, it's been a busy week,
just tying up some loose ends, but looking forward to
the end.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We just look back at the year from a Beef
and Lamb's perspective, I suppose, Clear, there's been some pretty
cool stuff going on.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
There is an in this year we've had obviously the
implementation of our folks groups, So that's been really exciting
for us to get those kicked off from an organizational
point of view. They've been getting going across the country
and the feedback has been really good so far. So
it's been good to keep those underway.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So as far as events sort of occurred over the
past couple of weeks, what do you start winding down
when he gets to December because it's just too busy
for stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, we had our last Farming for Profit field day
last week up at the Wadsworth Place, the Yoda Piri
Gorge there and it was a fantastic day out looking
at Resolution and farm Iq so really around the high
management software. That was a great day out. But definitely
our numbers were light as a normal and I've definitely
put that down to the time of the year. This
(30:11):
for us, once we start cracking into December, that we are,
you know, winding up our delivery on farm and getting
our planning underway for the year here and.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The days of having this being the champion of Snake
on the thirty two ten is a thing of the past.
And more than anything, a cell phone is a business tool.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Oh how many farmers. Do you see now without a
cell phone and on that phone with a number of
different you know, apps and things.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Even Graham Evans, i'd imagine has got it.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
You know, he does better with us WhatsApp. He deletes
himself out of a group every now and then we
have to go and retract and find them. But yep, no,
even Graham, he does.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He's got it.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Thanks Graham. Yeah, we keep him on.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh that's fantastic, Gido Graham. If you're tuning and hope
everything's going well over.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
There in a waka. Yeah, what's been the big take
for you from the year.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Assuming? I think it's that, you know, farmers are keen
to learn about what's happening. It's it's a fast paced industry.
Things are changing rapidly, and you know, farmers want to
keep up to date with what's happening. So we as
an organization need to keep up and be you try
and be one step ahead to ensure that our farmers
(31:29):
are well informed. I mean, you see from all different levels,
going right from government down to regional perspectives, there's so
much regulation coming in that we, you know, need to
be aware of and able to guide our farmers through
this practice. Yeah, it's it's great to have farmers engaged.
(31:49):
Farmers want to learn, they want to be a part
of it, and if we can give them a good
time whilst doing some im all about it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What about the wool industry has had a few couple
of positives over the past six weeks or so. Do
you think we're going to see that continue?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Well, that's that's a nigglia one Andy. I think if
you're passionate about it, if you know, we don't be passionate,
so to speak, but if you value that. It's the
quality of wool that I think is going to be
our biggest challenge because the industry, you know, we haven't
we haven't been seeing returns and that the quality of
our clip has has declined quite significantly. So I think
(32:26):
that's going to be our biggest challenge as we see
more of that renewable, sustainable approach comes through. I do
think that the place for war was going to remain.
It's just creating markets that are actually going to produce
us with value we were going to get paid for it.
We do still see a lot of farmers, you know,
(32:47):
looking to you know, go into more of the shedding
side of things, so that's definitely still there. But a
lot of that, from what I understand, is actually to
do with you know, input. People are wanting to reduce
the amount of work associated with sheep, so we're wanting
to look for animals that have be a breach or
(33:08):
shedding and also the parasites are being resistant to parasites.
It is going to be a biggie too, but while
in itself, I think there's always going to be a
place for it, just ensuring that we're going to be
able to access the right markets as far.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
As beef and lamb. What are the dates when you're

But me myself, I'm not coming back to the twelfth,
so we'll actually I'm really looking forward to enjoying that

Speaker 2 (35:08):
You can win the summer by signing up. What a catshrase.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
That's your summer sorted. We've actually got another thing called
summer as we we're going to be out out and
about sort of rewarding people for getting it, getting amongst
those amazing green spaces we've got across Southenders well, so
you can check out the details on our socials for that.
But that's enough. There's a lot. There's a plenty of
sport to talk about, isn't he mate? Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Is there what? Firstly, Jacob Duffy.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I had him on the show earlier in the week
before the OPR loction. He sounded pretty relaxed about it,
but RCB Royal challenges Benga Lurdu I think it's how
to pronounce it as he's away over there and for
his base price but still worth over three hundred and
fifty k.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Yeah, and you just can't help but get excited about this,
Ken you really, it's great to see Duffers. He's he's
been such a toiler and such a great ambassador for
Southern cricket. He's played his hard out for a Tigo
for for years and years years and he's finally sort
of the repping the rewards. You know, he probably reached
a point in his career where he wondered whether any
(36:08):
of these sorts of iron is ever going to come
his way. But he's he's just kept trying, he's kept
trying to get better and he's doing a great job,
whether it's whether it's with the white ball in New
Zealand now the red ball in New Zealand and obviously
getting over to the IPL is a huge accomplishment, and.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's really intrenched himself in that Kiwi bowling lineup. Used
there are injuries, but when you're getting the fifers like
he has two Tests in a row, you can't ignore that,
especially with England on the horizon in June and the
massive mess of law that is a tour to Australia
next year.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Yeah, you did right mate. I think the biggest endorsement
he can have is that whether it's Mitch Santner or
Tom Latham, either of those two New Zealand captains are
comfortable throwing the ball to him and know that he'll
do a job, and that job is more than he'll
take wickets. So all of a sudden sort of found
himself with a few injuries and whatnot, he's, you know,
(37:04):
the senior bowler in that in that New Zealand pace attack,
which is I guess if you look back twelve months ago,
is almost almost unfathomal. But every opportunity gets he sort
of takes with both hands and he never stops trying.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
The funny thing about this, though, was the way that
Indian press look at New Zealand. I went and googled
what they were saying about this. There was a newspaper
over there talking about and being from the town of Lumson,
three hundred odd people. But the town goes through snowstorms
that keep the town under snow for over half the year.
Yet his father still managed to build a cricket pitch
for him and his brothers to play on. I guess
(37:41):
the truth getting the way of a story, right, yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Are the facts getting the way of a good story? Yeah? Yeah?
I mean if it adds to the mystique and you know,
helps to helps to get him selected and get him paid,
then you know, I think lums lums that will take that.
Maybe maybe lums that will become a new tourist mecca
with curious Indian absolutely plenty of them out there. They
(38:05):
might want to they might want to add lumsdon to
their to their tour itinery when they when they're heading
down this way just so they can they can see
where the Jacob Duffy's hometown is.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Well, these people in the cosplay want to go to
Hobbiton and that with these I p L interests of
people might want to come down to south and then
follow the Duffy trail and just follow where cricketers in
New Zealand playing and the IPL come from.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Who knows you head down.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
To the LCG and check out the old artificial.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
And they might need to clean up their horses on it.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Last week when I drove past the Yes is more
controversy Alex Carey hitting a ton but should have been
given out because technology failed badly?
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Isn't it amazing? I haven't can't remember a walking controversy
in recent times. There must have been some, but I
guess in this day and age, do any international cricketers walk?
I don't know, you know, I guess that's what they'll
They'll say that that's what the technology exists for. And
I guess when it's your livelihood and and there's so
much on the line, and there's there's a there's a
(39:04):
million cameras and microphones there then I guess at someone
else's job to sort that out, and every now and
again it doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Now we look at the year in review for Southland,
how would you rate it on general and sporting?
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Since it's been a funny old year, hasn't it. If
I guess if we hone in on on our three
franchise teams, Southern Steel under under Wendy Threw coming in
in her rookie year of coaching, and they got so
close to those playoffs, which which was a great result
I guess in the context of the last few seasons,
(39:36):
and and really brought some pride and some enthusiasm back
into I guess that the following for that franchise really
probably look to instill a lot of the I guess
that ethos that Robin Broughton had created with previous Thing
and Steel teams, and that was great to see. Interesting
(39:57):
to see it also sort of coming into the up
up the road with the with the tactics of with
Donnald Wilkins being involved up there as well and obviously
having a hugely successful season. So yep, they I mean
still were great the crowds where the crowds came back
and really supported that team. The Sharks put themselves in
a hole really early in that season, but then managed
(40:19):
to go win nine on the trot. No one would
have picked them to smash the Canoby Rams the way
they did in the semi final, but gee, they just
did a job and that and that semi got themselves
through to a final and against the Wellington Saints and well,
if the ball had to just bounced a different way
in the last few players of that that game, we
could have been celebrating another NBL title. And there were
(40:40):
great performances from that from that team in general. But
jis I like picking up the MVP title first time
that the Sharks player has done. That just outstanding. And
it's before we even get onto the Stags.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Mate, No, I know, we get onto the Stags and
we just looked back to that occasion of winning the
round Freely Shield and the euphoria that was around the
province and it was short lived.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
I guess when you're a Stags fan, it's always a
roller coaster, but the roller coaster head it was more
roller coastery than the normal. And twenty twenty five wasn't it.
You know? When you look at it, it was a
I guess it was an interesting start to the season.
And then we got to the halfway point or halftime
against Manawatu, Nathan White throws a chair and then all
(41:27):
of a sudden we come back from twenty two points
down to win that game. Literally the fireworks went off
at Rugby Park when that game finished. Then we go
up and just play just almost flawless rugby to beat
Bay of Plenty and then and then rock up to
Hamilton and this is a this is a Southern rugby
team which you could I mean, we just don't win
(41:49):
games in the North Island. And then all of a
sudden we can beat Baya Plenty and then we can
rock up to Hamilton and take on the Renfrewy shield
holders and not work it over to you know, it's
only the third time in the last fifty years that
the Stags have mounted a successful shield challenge. But then
(42:10):
after that the old wheels sort of fell off a
little bit and it was a bit of a grind
through to the end of the year. But you know,
if you offered any sort of Stags fan a renfully
shield when at the start of the season, surely you
want to snap your hand off for it.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
There's no need to go to the Gold Coast and
the theme parks and you're a Stags fan. Nathan Burdon,
thank you very much for your time over the year.

early here today just started with the spring lands. The
business the names to two hundred, two hundred and two
ten two twenty for good spring lanes million names. The
one seventy five to one five one ninety, or just
a smaller of the spring Lands made be one hundred
and fifty odd dollars probably should have been in the
stores to be fair into the old season's old season
(44:18):
tiggets the ones they have cut their teeth yet you're
still up close to three hundred dollars. And if they
cut their teeth one twenty one to thirty and in
the Mattain section, the mutton, mister heavy used sort of
two ten to two twenty two thirty.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
That's very heavy.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
Use it as milliums to the one sixty five, one
seventy five, one eighty and the light of the US
arounds one hundred and thirty hundred and forty dollars. Still lambs,
he still lambs selling well, and the best then one
forty five to one fifty five milliums of one thirty
five one forty just with the smaller.
Speaker 6 (44:53):
Lambs, the very small lands make.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
One hundred having five hundred ten dollars, and they would
figure up to up endy.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
