Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is Friday afternoon, so we catch up with Nathan
Abernethi out of Regional Forward based here in gorg Gida.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Nath, Yeah, get a and the nice to see the
rain fall. It's it's still reasonably mild out there, although
it's called off a weaver, but yeah, I'm sure there's
plenty out there that are pretty happy to see the
splash of rain. Certainly dry where we are in the
showroom around here tonights and warm, So if you're in
town and thinking about vehicles, by all means, we'd love
to see you in. We've got a full stock of
(00:27):
new vehicles. We've got plenty of Ranger. We've got spear
Ford Everest that have come into stock in the new
vehicle department, which is something that we don't you know,
haven't had a lot of this year.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
But in the US side.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of it, there's still plenty there. It is looking a
little bit more hand picked than what I'd like to
see it at the moment. We're perhaps are getting a
little bit lighter in stock than what we'd like to be,
but that's because things have been busy, so that's great.
But look, we are looking for good quality late model
used vehicles if there's anybody you know that's got surplus
vehicles there, and we've still got plenty of great stock
(01:02):
coming through. For instance, we've just had a twenty twenty
three forty Everest Platinum, which is the top of the
line forty Everest very latest model V six diesel. This
has traveled eighty thousand k's by one owner. It is
in a metallic charcoal magnetic gray. It's called in this
sequel here look for seventy three nine ninety including GST.
(01:23):
That is a great saving on a new one and
still looks exactly the same as a new one. But
come in and see us. As always, the team are
here until after five o'clock today pick up the phone
any old time or at the other end of it.
Pretty much twenty four hours and doors will be open
at half past nine in the morning. Through it all
twelve some of us will be making a way out
to the west of Targo. Show always a fantastic show
and really really well supported, so looking forward to getting
(01:45):
out there and catching up with all our customers.

Savo getting everything set up for what will be a
big occasion. The music today this is Rihanna Worth Calvin Harris.

There are actually lyrics to go with it, as well
as some basslines. Right anyway, the weather this afternoon, here's
a bit of paper. We've got Raymond light sow westerlies
and thirteen Saturday sunny with breezy westerlies. Six and seventeen
(03:01):

(03:23):
point eight, and Woodland's at thirteen point one. Jamie McKay
joins us in the country crossover Shane Jones on fire
on Jamie Show just before as well, when you can't
help it, ignore what he's got to say. Actually he's
pretty scathing at the Green Party, it's fair to say.
And as well the Southern what are we calling this
the Southern storms shout happening at Nigel Woodheads, which is
(03:45):
occurring next Thursday. So we catch up with Jamie Morgan
Green of Venice Fence, looking at the situation on farm
from a veterinary perspective at the moment, Warren Rossavoy mumu
he's doing some valveing today, see how that's going for
whole And then Shane Young, vice president of a Central
South and Vintage Machinery Club, about an awesome raffle we've
(04:06):
got going that you want to be a part of
if you after a serven piece of machinery for your farm,
and then Phil Duncan for where the watch wraps the hour,
so we'll get underway with Jamie mckaye. This is the
Muster until two o'clock. Thanks to Peters Genetics, it's time
(04:30):
for the Country Crossover, joining us as Jamie mckaye host
of the Country out of Dunedin. Good afternoon, Jamie. How's
the week being Yeah, not bad?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Thanks Andy. I think the highlight of the week came
just in the last hour and Shane Jones, the Prince
of the Provinces, the Mighty Martua, described Chloe as a
demonic egg beater, and straight after he did it, he
sent me a text with a smiley face saying, not
sure where that came from, but it was gold.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'm not sure, but it sort of described Chloe and
demonic egg beater. Maybe she's the way she her physical
behavior in Parliament is like a demonic egg beater.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
But then of course he got stuck into Debbie and
Raweri and said they're akin to the moa. They are
about to become extinct. He just makes all this up
on the run, so glorious.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Demonic relating to or characteristics of demons or evil spirits.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Well, depending on your political alliances or allegiances, I think
the Greens can be quite evil on occasions. They would
certainly be very evil for the New Zealand economy and
the farming economy. It doesn't even be a thinking about.
It doesn't be a thinking about if you're a farmer.
If Labor as the next government with the Greens and
(05:48):
to Party Murray, although Shane might be right, they might
become extinct, Labor could easily win all the Maori seats,
which would give them a strong presence in government. So yep,
I mean, I guess the coalition government we've got at
the moment is far from perfect. They've already started, I
mean the gloves have come off already. See More and
Winston are jostling for positions. My read on it a
(06:11):
year out and a lot can change in a year, Andy,
is that both ACT and New Zealand First will cannibalize
the national vote. Yes, I think we'll still have a
national lead coalition, but Christopher Luxen will be in a
weaker position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Do you realistically though you listen to Joe Luxon on
your show again this week and lovely person Joe, but
it doesn't really fill you with a lot of hope.
She's in charge of agriculture.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
I've publicly said this, and I'm not saying something that
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Said to her.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
She's in there because she's a nice person, she's a
friendly face, she's to be fair, she's got a bit
of a rural background. She's out there to plicate I
think the farming community after Damien, who had a much
more fractious relationship with farming. But let's be honest about it,
they haven't got any agg policy. I don't know when
they're going to come out with some. They'll make noises
(07:04):
about caring for farmers and the primary industries, but they
don't really because it's not their constituency. Their constituency is
Beltwey urban New Zealand, and that's where they hope to
win the election. I think one of the interesting things
that's happening at the moment is Chippy's like a half
deflated balloon. He's not doing anything, but he's polling well.
(07:25):
Labor's polling ahead of National. Depending on which pole you
believe personally, he's polling as well, if not better than
Christopher Luxe, and yet they've done nothing. The only thing
he's done, and I think he's got away with this
and it's been a political success for him, is his
capital gains tax. He's flown that politically. In the past
that would have been totally unpalatable. But I think people,
(07:50):
or certainly a good proportion of the population, believe that
we need to broaden the tax space. And there's always
that element that want to get the rich pricks as
well well. But the problem with a capital gains tax
at the moment, if we'd had one for the last
three or four years, Andy, guess how much it would
have brought in. Nothing, literally nothing, because there's hardly been
(08:11):
any capital gain. In fact, there's been capital loss on
housing or secondary home. So there's not going to be much,
certainly in the initial years gathered by this capital gains tax.
So you know, it's a political position. You can argue
whether we need to broaden the taxpace or not. But
(08:32):
what I think stupid about it is giving everybody three
free visits to the doctor each year. Wealthier people can
afford to pay to go and visit the doctor. Yes,
the health budget needs a whole lot more money. While
I would just plunk all the capital gains tax money
if it indeed comes in, and give it to the
health budget and it can be targeted and spent where necessary.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The Southern storms shout happening next week at the Woodheads property, Jamie.
This is something we're encouraging everyone to go to, right.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah, well it'll be like fishes and loaves, you know
that biblical story. I don't know how many people are
turning up. Excuse me, the more the Merria. The idea
kind of started at the Canterbury Show when we were
excuse me launch launching the Makaisa and Greg Menzies, who's
a great bloke from Emerson's in the tiny pub. We
were sitting there in the rain, having a few quiets
(09:23):
on the Thursday afternoon. He said, you know what, when
I get this pub back down south, I'd like to
take it down to Southland or southwest Otago and shout
some farmers. So that's how the whole idea originated. And
then spat scot on board and then we decided to
I did a bit of calling around and we looked
at the worst affected areas and I think a general
(09:46):
consensus is that, you know, South Otago's probably fared as
worse or as badly as anyone. And then you get
someone like Nigel, who's obviously very well known, good networker,
just yeah, a good bloke and I know he's I
asked him.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He bit my hand off.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
He said, yeah, why would I turn down two pubs
coming to my farm? So and I just think it's great.
Everyone has just donated silver fern farms with the meat.
I think an Z have got a coffee cart and
an ice cream cart. And there's some travel company and
I need to get their name right. They've tipped in
a farm travel company. They've tipped in a thousand dollars
(10:26):
just for some of the incidental costs go around these
And it's just wonderful because look, jeez, I've seen the pictures.
I mean, I look at look at the pictures of
the Clyde Vale golf course. For instance, it's the Allen Grange.
I've never played it. They say it's a great golf course.
But mostly, you know, two two thirds of the trees
are gone and there's just such a lot of work
(10:48):
to do, and I know farmers have got still got
lots of fences down with trees over them. And you're
getting to the stage now where you're weaning lambs, Andy,
and you know as well as I do, are the
last thing you want with weaned lambs dodgy fences because
guess what, they'll find their way through it. So you know,
this is just an opportunity to take two or three
hours off the farm. Come and have a bear, Come
(11:10):
and have a yarn, no strings attached. We'll feed you
and water you and then hopefully sends you home with
a smile on your face.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You were running out of time and I wonder to
have you on about this. The Makaiser. It's a bold
hop oil and fused New Zealand pills and the billed
with the taste of crystal lemons and lames with a
refreshing finish. So it sounds like a lagatop. What's a lagatop? Radlers,
So a beer with a lemonade, but of lemonade at
the top to fill it up.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
No, no, no, no, it's a citrusy craft bear.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
To be fair, Andy, I'll tell you where the space
will be there as well.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Don't worry well exactly, Look, you know, like I'm a
craft Bear fan.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You're not.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
I mean you're from Balfa, obviously you wouldn't be, but
I should know that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, I'm only joking.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
But yeah, they'll have they'll have all the the good
Emerson's ones there, like their Pilsner and some of their
other ones. They've got some session Bears is there as well.
But you know, the Spates will be there with the
old Triple Star or whatever you call it, the stock
standard Spates and the most then the most popular Bear
in New Zealand by a mile at the moment is
(12:17):
the Spates Summit.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
We had a low car Bear, so all the.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Young blokes turn up and think, well, this is low car,
but I can drink plenty of this, so instead of
they just drink twice as much as they would have
otherwise and then put it down to weight loss. But anyhow,
every man for his own and I'm really thankful because Spates,
Hayden Finch, good rugby player, good ki boy, he was
the one who volunteered. He wanted Spates to come along
(12:42):
as well with Emersons. They're both under the Lion umbrella
and we're very very thankful of them for putting that
on and silver Fern Farms for the meat as well,
and the Milton Lions who were doing the barbecue. And
also if you're getting going along and you're from the Milton,
Bealcluth or Lawrence area which is quite a big catchment,
the Milton Lions will get your home. So if you
(13:04):
can't arrange a sober driver, get someone to dump you
off and we'll do our very very best to get
your home.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, just very quickly. A shout out to the balf
Young Farmers Miss Balfa happening tomorrow week at the belf Hall.
It's all the money's going back into that redoing the hall.
Up to Jamie, so enjoy the weekend and stay away
from those demonic gig beaters.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Yeah, no danger of me and Chloe getting too close.
I wouldn't think see it. Go the All Blacks b Team.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Go, the AB's Bees, Jamie McKay and the Country Crossover
Morgan Green for many s Vets. We catch up next.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
The Musters Animal Health segment, brought to you by NS Vets,
adding value through practical advice and service, no gimmicks, no patience,
Total vet care.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Morgan Green Venus Fits joins us on the musta this afternoon.
Good afternoon, Morgue. Calvin Harris'll take you back to your
beats of days.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I was just thinking the same thing, Andy, Yeah, that
could that goes that goes back away away while now
doesn't it.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
So yeah, all.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Things that are in the memory banks, Certainly I don't
think the body would be able to cope with some
of the stuff that we did back then.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Now certainly does now in his face. Of course, you
guys are the We catch up with you on a
regular basis. How things been lately, all the.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Things it's been taken along. We've been pretty busy, but
we would expect to be this time of year.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know, it just sort of looks like next couple
of weeks things are just beginning to slow down away bit,
which is what we would expect.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
We're most people now will be through their first round
of of A B and yeah, guys will be starting
into the second round. So we're we're just doing a
few lace non cycling cows.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I guess animals that happened to come up in that
first three for most people. Hopefully the numbers aren't too big,
and I think in general they haven't been you know,
submission rates in general have been pretty good. Probably just
a little bit worried about what conception rates might be
like just because cows are still producing a heck of
a lot of milk at the moment. You know, I
(15:19):
think from that point of view, From a production point
of view.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Things in general have been really really good.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
So you know, it's, yeah, just making sure the conception
rates are up to scratch. And obviously, you know, one
of the things that people can do is maybe come
in with some early scans just to make sure that
you know they are on track from the point of
view of yet. Look, if cows haven't come back on heat,
that yet they are in calf rather than they've gone
into what people call a phantom stage, which is those
(15:46):
animals that have a heat and then don't subsequently have
a heat and you think.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
They're in calf, but they're not. So that's just something
to keep in the back of your mind.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
If you think that non return rates are actually way
better than potentially what they should be, you know, it
may be a good thing, but equally it may be
a bad thing, just because you know, cows have been
producing milk really really well, So it's yeah, just something
to keep an eye on. Otherwise here there'll be some
people will be just about to put bulls out, both
(16:16):
in the beef situation and for dairy guys, especially if
they're coming in with sort of.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Four weeks of AB. Yeah, there's a lot of people have.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Rather than doing six weeks of AB as they have
done in the past, maybe do four weeks but using
sex semen.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And then of course obviously we have.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
A lot of people using technology so that most of
them are a b all the way through. But it's yeah,
just making sure that you have checked the bulls out,
that everything is you know that they're fit and healthy
and able to work. And obviously if you are noticing
problems with bulls, getting them out of the herd because
you know they're just likely to prevent some of the
(16:53):
healthier bulls from working. And just keeping a real close
eye on them rotating them around, especially in the dairy
situation and in the beef situation.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Just make sure that you know there's no injuries.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
We see a lot of those at this time of year,
you know, lamenesses and fractured penises, that sort of thing.
So it's just, yeah, keeping a real close eye on
things as you normally would, just making sure that the
bull team is working the way that should do, because
if it's not, yeah, it won't be so.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Good at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
And the ray thing you said before about production possibly
hampering conception rights, what's the big concern here.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Oh, look, it's from the point of view of energy
in versus energy out. When cows are producing a lot
of milk, there's a whole load of energy going into
producing that, and so you know, it's how that energy.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Is partitioned within the cow.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
And we will often see that when production is really
really good, reproduction can be impacted.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
And likewise we'll get it the other way around.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
You know, we can get seasons for production is pretty
poor for whatever reason, and then actually reproduction ends up
being really really good. So it's just how that energy
is partitioned within the cow. You know, we are getting
to the point a year where keeping the energy levels
into the cow becomes a bit more of a challenge,
purely and simply because grass goes to seed, so the
(18:16):
quality drops off. You know, they may be eating the
same amount, but the actual quality that's in there, or
in fact, a lot of the time what happens is
the NDF or the neutral detergent fiber in the grass
that increases as the grass hardens a wee bit and
they actually don't feel like eating quite as much as
what they should, so they feel full quicker and therefore
(18:38):
don't eat as much either. So yeah, keeping grass quality
under control is really really important, you know. And obviously
we have a situation this year where when payout is up,
people are inclined to use a lot more supplement in
the shed compared to maybe what they might normally do,
and that drives milk production. So high protein drives milk production, and.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
It's just, uh, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Keeping an eye on those things. You know. Obviously high
production is a good thing.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
I'm not saying it's not, but it's just trying to
get that balance right between production and reproduction, and that's
easier said than done.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Is there a bit of a concern with blight possibly
a lot of cliver explosion due to the rhyme we've
head nail and so timich is being in the early times.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
Oh, look, absolutely, it's always a bit of a concern.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
We probably do tend to see it a little bit
earlier on than now. But absolutely, it's you know, we
do have conditions that are pretty ideal for growing clover,
and once you're growing clover, the risk of float is
certainly there, and you know, probably as big a risk
for beef cows as as anything else, especially if they're
(19:46):
moving into you know, into new padducks, that can be
a risk. And obviously the other thing once we get
into a few weeks time is you know, going on
to new grass padducks and just being aware of the
amount of weeds that can be in there. So yeah,
in particular, the likes of spurry and year and fat
hen may contain oxalates which can bind calcium. So we
(20:08):
can often see luke fever symptoms when cows go on
to new grass.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
So it's just been aware of that too.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Regarding the RG we were talking about a kid to
finish out the Avays arguably the big teams planning against
Wales on Sunday morning. You're Irish team, You've got the box.
There's going to be a hell of a game and
it'll be a big mountain to climb if you had
to win.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Oh look, yeah, I'm not holding out a whole lot
of hope, to be honest, but that said, there was
certainly much improved performance by Ireland against Australia last week.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I do think Australia.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
May have been half halfway on the plane home already.
I think their second half performance was pretty poor, but
some of it was the Irish performance was a lot better.
I think Ireland, you know, a few weeks ago, were
deservedly beaten by the All Blacks. They performed really really
poorly in that game, which to be fair, was probably
not unexpected. There was a number of guys that was
actually their first game of the season.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
So you know, it's a time of year where it's.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
A bit difficult.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
The Lions tour, there was obviously a lot of Irish
on that and then they had an extended break after
that competition. But you know, for the Australians last week,
they've been going hard at it for a long time
and you know, I think it's you know, they've.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Played something like fifteen sixteen tests this year.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
I think it's you're throwing super rugby as well, and
it's it's not that easy to keep the body up
and probably in a lot of cases keep the mind
up as well.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Look, I think in All Black d.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Or a n E team would probably beat Wales at
the moment. I think they're they're pretty poor. They're a
shadow of their former cells. The Welsh rugby Union seems
to be in a bit of disarray.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know, there's a.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Lot going on behind the scenes there by all accounts.
So look, it would be nice to see Welsh rugby
back in a stronger place, but I think they're a
good few years away from that happening. So I would
fully expect the All Blacks, as you say, even though
it's a B team, to have a pretty handy win
at the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Okay, Morgie, to be sweat to get into the team
at Indias Fits.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Oh look, just pick up the phone and give us
a call.

sixty five.

No, absolutely a so those ones we've been heaving sort
of in the last few weeks, you know, just absolutely
drive the ground out some of the chronic and you
know it's the reigners. Yeah, welcome, And you'd say most
people will agree probably that fifteen to twenty miles once
a week will be quite good.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So as far as the velvet thing, how's that been going, Yeah, No,
it's just the same as laugh one to be fear Indie.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Just it's just coming off doing about thirty animals a
week probably, So it's just just a weekly job. Well
this year as you're probably more of ature this year, sleep,
but just a weekly job we've got to do.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You say it's a chure.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Why is there?
Speaker 9 (24:00):
Probably just reflection on the processes of things too. Theater.
We have had it good for the last probably eight years,
I guess. But yeah, the process this year just pretty poor.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Really saves no sign of a breakthrough coming occurring any time.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Soon, I don't believe. So now it's probably still a
bit early to tell and and no, but I suspect yeah,
nothing will really change for the season anyhow.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So what do you do? You just treat the product
like you would like any other season and just take
it off and just do what you've got to do.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Really, absolutely, I think I think everyone's done it of
course is probably killing quite heavily on these on their
older stags in particularly, and anything that's not cutting sort
of decent weights just down the road because vincent process
are originally good for especially for older staggs, essentially sort
of worth some money is venocence. Yeah, a lot a
(24:51):
lot of growers and producers are just getting stuck into
their into the col velvenue steaks.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So that's probably your saving grace for the industry, the
fact the Villason schedules are right up there too like
the other ones.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Yeah, no, absolutely. It is a challenge, of course, is
that there's a unlimited space for old staggs. There is
a freezing work, so a bit of a challenge around
getting guinea animals space for them and that works. There's
a lot of challenge, of course, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Do you make the call sooner than later regarding what
goes to the works and what stays well.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
We we air policy is just basically as the velvet
comes off your way teeth and if it's not up
where it should be, they get a tag and they're
going to marb and hopeuy you get space for them.
And yeah, a lot of guys are pretty organized and
they have space already organized and blocked up and organized
and but yes, sometimes you just don't know here you
(25:46):
get to get and yeah, yeah, so there's a little
bit of a challenge at the moment, but yeah, it's
just a pat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And pulsele really, So, how's the track to where it's
been going?
Speaker 9 (25:56):
I know we've got on pretty good in story, It
was a bit pinching, a bit slow, but no, the
last last couple of weeks we got into it and yeah,
and all their crops are in them spreads, there's this
rain will be going in very good actual Lisa, Uh,
I think we just got maybe seven or eight hickey
as of grass going probably next week with a bit
of luck, sir, And then that's all the egg work done.
So I know we're sort of on top of that
(26:16):
sort of things until well, until the grass grasstops gravel.
The grass is growing, but until the bailor starts coming off.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, Baylor's when do you hope to do that? You reckon?
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Oh, I'll hope to make a start next week to
be fear just yeah, yeah, it was ready to go now.
So yeah, next week we'll probably make a start.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
On that soil duncan from where the watches on the
show later on in the Yeller. So as far as
you're wonder cross, so are you keeping the same policy.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
Pretty much same policy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
Yeah, it's probably a few more hicis of kale this year,
but now it's the same policy really. Just you're just
cracking on doing what we normally do. So yeah, there's yeah,
say they're all in them growing, well, Pa, you're growing,
so you know it's good.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Well that's ray is going to be a god scene
of the crops just gone on the ground right.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, one umbercent days a beat wind in anapaticas swedes went,
and probably it will be two weeks ago now so
that they'll be loving us. But weaving the rain and
at cal just week it's got so and on what
there we we got something on Wednesday. I think it
was just round to be second and quite nastly for
them too. So yeah, it's just quite handy the having
(27:21):
this rain right now.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That's what you call good management.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Well I think so all good luck. I'm not sure
what it is, but either way, it's that's good.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Now, last time we spoke to you, you were about to
hit away the fun out. I used to follow the
rallying circle. Being part of the team there, sounds like
it was a good weekend.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
Yeah, no, so no, it was a good week initially
so Caleb the driver, he managed to clean up the
national competent in shipeni heal sir, yeah, or you can
see him out doing it, so you know he's very
happy with that. So we celebrated pretty well on that
Sunday night. Any health made a very slow Monday coming home.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I'm you could have a smile on your face
as you wake up in the morning knowing that you've
achieved the goal.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Absolutely, So we also got a team trophy as well,
so for the for the best and best team for
the year, so you know it's it was. It was
pretty amazing really.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
The Tiany Fishing Classic is happening next weekend, of course,
so what's supposed to be at Labor weekend, but the
weather dictated otherwise. Well you're going up for that, I'd imagine.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
No, well not actually no, there's actually the boat club
have lenn Ross fishing competition this weekend up there. My
grandfather started that. Well I'm not sure we're way back
in eighty two. I think it was wow and uh
and it's just it is just for Gore Boat Club
members as such, and and it's have always been this
(28:47):
this weekend about well what we did at third weekend
in November. I guess yeah, ses we were at, Yes,
we were at. So so we have actually got the
boat clubs has got their own one this weekend up
there so we can head up there for us. We
got head up there letter on today for after we
get the revelving done. Sir. Yeah, no, so that's why
we're doing any album.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So how many members in the Gore Boat Club?
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Oh gee, this good question actually there it might be
it might be wrong saying this, but I have a
feeling that the Gore Boat Club is the biggest club
in New Zealand that doesn't have a lake beside up
or land landlock Town. Yeah, well lake water water land
Town or something like that. And so I'm pretty sure
(29:32):
where they didn't have that total for a while. So
whether that's still got enough, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That's a hell of a state. While well done, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Can't and I can't hear how many members there is,
but yeah, so no, it's it's yeah, so yeah, we're
waiting to Tenna this weekend for the Len Ross Fishing Weekend.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
ELSA, Yeah, good on you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We'll leave you to it. Always appreciate your time and
all the best in the fishing cup this weekend.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
Yep, no good has got any.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Warren Rossavo Momo. Now up next Shane Young. He is
the club vice president of the Central south and Vintage
Machinery Club. These guys want you to win, attractor.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
This interview brought to you by Agress Center South branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton, and ranfully dropped by your
local Agress Center South branch today.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Shane Brown is club vice president of the Central Southland
Vintage Machinery Club and joins us this afternoon on the muster. Shane, good, afternoon,
great to chat.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Are you getting on Andy?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah? Pretty good. Now, firstly, the Central Southland Vintage Machinery Club.
We know there's a few of these clubs still in
existence around the South. Tell us about you got you guys,
about what you do at your one and what's involved.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
No, that's all good.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
We're based at Winton where there's old dairy factory there
on the corner. That's where we're based. Is I think
there's a pretty good following. We've got sixty got sixty
odd members. We've got a big group of young, younger members,
which helps us along. Yeah, and we're just working on
a fundraising raffle at the moment for a new storage
(31:14):
display sheheed.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Good to see you've got young members in there. Do
you hear issues trying to treat younger people to come
along and being involved with things like this.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
Yeah, yeah, it is. It is easier said than done.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
But no, we've probably got a better dozen younger ones,
which is which is pretty good because it is traditionally
an older, older person's game. But no, we've got a
good crew and it helps for getting these big, big
jobs and big missions completed.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
What have you got in there as such as far
as old gear.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
Oh, there's there's a bit of everything. To be fair, We've.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Got from old old traders, bulldozer's machinery. We've no old
telephone exchange, lawnmowers, do you name it. It's it's there,
but it is GM packed And that's the whole whole
idea of what we're doing is once we get a
new display shed, we can put a heap of machinery
over the here and then find out the stuff in
(32:09):
the old dairy factory and make it a lot easier
to get around and see what's gone down.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, it's the old adage, isn't it. If you've got
a sixteen mil spanner and some CRC, you can make
anything work.
Speaker 12 (32:20):
And a pair of ice scripts, a pair of.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Ice scripts are maybe some bond to tie.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Yeah, so no, we've got to it's good.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
We've got a good crew, and yeah, we're just expanding. Really,
I guess you could say it's what happens in time.
A lot of people donate machinery and stuff to us.
We don't like to say no, but sometimes when you
don't have room for it, it's best to go somewhere
else and not be in a shed, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And I dare say, well, everybody's got something of a
certain vintage as far as I don't know, implements for
the farm in the backyard as well. So it's quite
good they're keen to donate to you guys to keep
it all the life.
Speaker 12 (32:57):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 10 (32:58):
A lot of farms have changed. Farming has changed a lot.
There's a lot of farms have changed hands, a lot.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
More, a lot more sort of what we just say.
Speaker 10 (33:05):
Old sheep and beef farms turning into just dairy runoffs
and things like that. So we get clearing sales and
then there's some old machinery that's been lying around forever
in sheets and stuff, and then they instead of seen
it the scrap, they'll give us the opportunity to take
it on, so we end it. So we do try
to take it on, and we've probably got too much
as it.
Speaker 12 (33:25):
Is for the storage we've got, but no, that's what it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Is, right. So the shed you're building, tell us about it,
what's involved.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
So we're building. It's an alpine building shed. It's I
think it's fifty meters by twelve or fourteen meters wide,
so it's a decent sized shet.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
You know.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
We've there was a big standard maka kafas there. We've
cleared them off and got all the site where it ready,
we've bought the poles and got them standing and now
we're just at the next stage really, So that's that's
why we've started this raffle.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
And I work for Egriscenta South and talk.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
To them and see Nates and Zealand and they've we've
all come to the plan and worked out getting a
tractor and wreffling it off essentially.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
So you're wreffling a tractor off. It's a hell of
a price, Well, it.
Speaker 11 (34:09):
Is, it is.
Speaker 10 (34:10):
It's a base price one hundred and seventy five thousand
for the tractor and loader, but the brand new six
cylinder one hundred and twenty five fall Spare said, it's
quite a quite a prize.
Speaker 12 (34:21):
And yeah, so that's what that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And how many tickets do you hope to sell?
Speaker 10 (34:27):
Oh, I think we've got there's three thousand, tw hundred tickets.
It's yeah, it's got to go through the Lotteries Commission
and that you've got eyes to dot and teast to cross.
So but yeah, we've got that. We've got that sort
of They went under way. It was last Sunday, Sunday morning,
I think it started. And yeah, seems like they're taking
away pretty good now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
And what what's the ticket worth?
Speaker 12 (34:50):
That one hundred dollars ticket? But the odds are pretty
good at three.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Oh, it's better than winning that Blood and Lotto drowl
last week.
Speaker 12 (34:58):
I didn't win with my ticket neither.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
They just suck you into that thing, don't they? But
I mean, hell, who doesn't want to win? Who does
not want to win a tractor worth one hundred and
seventy k?
Speaker 12 (35:08):
Well, that's right, that's right. I need to be honest.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
If you're not in the market for a track there
and you buy it, you'll find someone pretty quick to
buy one.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I do say you will. At the moment, things are
pretty buoyant in the real sector as you would have seen.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
No, I think they've picked up which has been good lately,
and think all the aspects of the industry are looking
pretty good for a change.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Right, So somebody wants tickets to win a new tractor
at one hundred dollars a pop, which doesn't bad odds
considering us at three thy two hundred tickets? So where
do they go and get some details? If I want
to find tickets?
Speaker 10 (35:39):
So they can go on to it's been marketed on
the market, no market, what you've got Facebook in there
at the moment.
Speaker 12 (35:47):
It's online. You can go to www. Dot win a tractor,
dot co dot indeed. Yeah, so it's pretty easy.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
To find and you go on to the onto the
site and just follow the prompts.
Speaker 12 (36:00):
Yeah, so that's how we're working that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
So you guys have a Facebook page as such?
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Yep, yep, they've been subs a Facebook page and egressing
the South. It's just sharing, sharing it as well on
their on their face.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
When do you hope to draw the winner?
Speaker 10 (36:16):
It's going to be the Friday at Wymanory Field Days
that will have the treat the on air site.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The Southern Field Days for sure, yep.
Speaker 12 (36:24):
Site triple three. I think on Friday the thirteenth of February.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
What happens if you get on? But what happens if
you get unprecedented demand? Would you do another run of tickets?
Speaker 12 (36:33):
Well, we can't. What's the way the commission work? Actually can't.
If you were to do that, you would have to
start again. There is a lot in it too, don't
get me wrong with no.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
Absolutely, we've we've since figured out there's been a committee
of three or four of us and we've there's been
a of a lot of time going to it.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
But no, I worth see how this one goes.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Anyway, Hey, good on your show and all the best
for the referl We're going to follow us of interest.
This is a hell of a price for a hundred
dollars out there, you've got a pretty good chance of
wanting a tract and worth over one hundred and forty
k right, yep, yep.
Speaker 10 (37:05):
And one of their members is offered to give you
guys a couple of tickets if you just want to
give them away or do a bit of a thing
with them on the radio.
Speaker 12 (37:13):
It's up to you if you want to take advantage
of that. But yeah, one of the members is pretty
keen to give you a couple of tickets.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Absolutely, we'll get involved with that, Shane. Not a problem. Hey,
thanks for your time this afternoon. All the best selling
these tickets. I don't think you'll have a little issues
getting rid of them, to be honest. In Southern Field
days at way Mooma of course early February next year. Look,
we'll be a touch around this. This is intriguing and
hope it goes well for you as I'm sure it will.
Speaker 12 (37:35):
That goes gold. Andy will keep in touch mate, Thank
you very much.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
We still free Shane Yang of the Central Self and
Vintage Machinery Club.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Go.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
When you sell a tractor for one hundred dollars outlay,
nothing better, whether watches Phil Duncan's up next, This is
the Muster.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
Bonks eleven.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Before we wrap up on a Friday afternoon, we'll catch
up with Phill Duncan out of weather Watch. Good afternoon,
(38:24):
Phil Duncan, welcome to fry A.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Good a.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Thanks for having me back again.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
No, we'll have you back everywhere. You do a pretty
good job, to be fair. Now we're talking about the weather.
Obviously you're out of weather Watch. We're having quite a
bit of rain down here in the South today. A
lot of people are appreciate appreciating it, appreciating you. I
got that right, because yeah, oh good England works. That's amazing.
What have we got for the weekend? I suppose sport
happening tomorrow. What's to go?
Speaker 11 (38:50):
Yeah, well you certainly got a bit of a temperature
drop today. That old Pollar boundary that was sitting over
the top of you for the pout three months is
actually just coming up and flirting with the southern coastline
of Southland. So that's why your temperatures are more wintry today.
You've got a maximum of well we're predicting about thirteen.
That's not very warm overnight, A light it's a night
(39:10):
at three I wouldn't say that's very warm. And even
the next few nights ahead five degrees on Saturday and Sunday,
I mean, that's not too bad, but it's not exactly warm.
And Monday night you're down to two. So you know
we've got some colder in inirflow coming in as that
polar boundary. Like I say, it's kind of flirting with
the lower South Island. But the two cold days are
(39:32):
today and Monday. Once you pass that, or Sunday is
not overly warm with fifteen, but yeah, I think Friday,
Funday and Monday probably the two colder nights. And in
true spring style, you know, by Wednesday of next week
you could be in the mid to late twenties. Like
that is a huge difference, and you know that's a
(39:52):
well compared to today. That's a thirteen degree lifting your
temperatures by Wednesday of next week. So it's ups and down.
And part of the reason you're going to that up
next week is because there is a huge storm in
the Southern Ocean. So we're talking about that polar boundary
right that's ahead of the storm. Once the storm comes in,
it pushes in a big burst of windy northwesters and
(40:15):
that's why temperatures go back up. So it's going to
be and those winds, by the way, may not be
strong and south it might be strong, but further northward,
but it's going to be. That's the reason why it's
a change to westerlies again. And so while we are
talking about landin your building, I keep saying to people
the southern ocean is that it's still the more dominant force.
The ware the system's there, which means I think the
(40:37):
spring ups and downs are going to carry on well
into December this year.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You talk about where the patterns flourishing with each other,
we should be concerned about the offspring.
Speaker 11 (40:45):
Then yeah, yeah, well that's right. I mean, so that's
actually quite a good good saying, because when the polar
boundary is flirting with you, what I mean by that
is it's not moving from south to north straight up
over you. It's sliding along sideways, getting very very close
to you, like a river when it's just about to
go over the floodbanks, but doesn't quite actually really do it.
(41:06):
And that's sort of what you're getting. But about the
off spring, that is the storm that follows behind it. Now,
when I say storm. This is a huge system south
of New Zealand, so it's not a big storm coming
in for Southland. It is a major storm that goes
from Antarctica to the Southland region. It covers the whole
area in Ocean Sea south of New Zealand, so that's
(41:30):
going to be really big. But because it's so large,
a lot of that energy will be down there with
it as well. But that's what we're watching next week,
and it's likely to drive in very heavy West coast rain.
It'll bring in only a little bit of rain probably
for you guys, but probably Thursday is the chance of
that rain coming in next week. At the moment, we're
forecasting ten millimeters, which is only a little bit more
(41:51):
than what you're getting today, So it is a good
amount of rain. We don't want to see the rain stop,
even though some of your listeners might have to be
on where you are what you do for a living.
But yeah, overall, you want to have a bit of
rain each week as long as it's just kept to
a day or two and you get these big, long, warm,
dry stretches. So I think it's still spring like for you.
(42:11):
And like I say, I think it's going to be
springlight going into December this year, but you're getting some
good days in between. It's not bad every day of
the week.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
That's sure.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
That's an interesting weather pattern we're going through at the moment, Phil.
But look, the big question is can we peck the
fire up for the year.
Speaker 11 (42:26):
Well, I mean, I don't know. I probably wouldn't because
you know, if you're talking about overnight lows, of the
next ten overnight temperatures, only one of them is double digits.
That is Wednesday, where it's thirteen degrees. Every other day
is single digits. And when I say single digits, you
know you got there are there there's a nine degrees,
(42:46):
a seven degrees or two and an eight. But you've
got tonight is three. The weekend, both Saturday and Sunday
night lows are five. Monday night's low is just two degrees,
and then by Friday next week you're down to five
degrees again. So I mean, if that was me living there,
I would be still probably using it heat a heat
pump or the lighting the fire. But you know, maybe
(43:08):
you're at that time a year where you can stop
lighting the fire, but you still just use the heat
it for a little bit you know, just to just
to take the chill off the air.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
That's what I'm thinking, because if you were getting any
coldor under the minasays, then you would say, yes, keep
the fire going. But we're talking like mid single digits.
It's not an issue.
Speaker 11 (43:24):
No, that's right. So my dad when we when I
came up with my parents kid, we had open fireplace,
and I remember quite distinctly Dad would would stop lighting
that fire around about October. There was no like, that
was it. It was done. What happened after that point,
But then I do remember lighting the fire once around
(43:45):
Christmas Day when I think that was in the in
the nineties early nineties. We had a very wintry day
that was a whitehaddow like way up there Auckland and
it was you know, that was a cold ack and
remember it being single digits for most of Christmas Day
and hail and windy, squawly south westers. But yeah, most
most of the time the fire, at the least from
(44:07):
what I know of North Islanders, the fire stops around
September October, and you don't like it again if you
can until April, maybe the end of March if you're
unlucky and arresting.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
We're the forecasting. It is getting warm is the key messaging.
Phil Duncan of weather Watch, Thanks to your time. When
the muster is always my.
Speaker 11 (44:24):
Pleasure, mat stay warm.
Speaker 12 (44:27):
Eleven.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Present and the future. Walk into a bar. It was tense,
and here's another one. I got into a fight one, three, five, seven,
and nine. The yards were against me. The best of
the muster of five am tomorrow and of course today's
show going up on podcasts very surely. I'm Andy M.
You've been listening to the Master on Hokinui thanks to
(45:02):
Peter Senix. Enjoy the weekend, see him Monday.
It is Friday afternoon, so we catch up with Nathan
Abernethi out of Regional Forward based here in gorg Gida.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Nath, Yeah, get a and the nice to see the
rain fall. It's it's still reasonably mild out there, although
it's called off a weaver, but yeah, I'm sure there's
plenty out there that are pretty happy to see the
splash of rain. Certainly dry where we are in the
showroom around here tonights and warm, So if you're in
town and thinking about vehicles, by all means, we'd love
to see you in. We've got a full stock of
(00:27):
new vehicles. We've got plenty of Ranger. We've got spear
Ford Everest that have come into stock in the new
vehicle department, which is something that we don't you know,
haven't had a lot of this year.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
But in the US side.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of it, there's still plenty there. It is looking a
little bit more hand picked than what I'd like to
see it at the moment. We're perhaps are getting a
little bit lighter in stock than what we'd like to be,
but that's because things have been busy, so that's great.
But look, we are looking for good quality late model
used vehicles if there's anybody you know that's got surplus
vehicles there, and we've still got plenty of great stock
(01:02):
coming through. For instance, we've just had a twenty twenty
three forty Everest Platinum, which is the top of the
line forty Everest very latest model V six diesel. This
has traveled eighty thousand k's by one owner. It is
in a metallic charcoal magnetic gray. It's called in this
sequel here look for seventy three nine ninety including GST.
(01:23):
That is a great saving on a new one and
still looks exactly the same as a new one. But
come in and see us. As always, the team are
here until after five o'clock today pick up the phone
any old time or at the other end of it.
Pretty much twenty four hours and doors will be open
at half past nine in the morning. Through it all
twelve some of us will be making a way out
to the west of Targo. Show always a fantastic show
and really really well supported, so looking forward to getting
(01:45):
out there and catching up with all our customers.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Good on your night's catching next week.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Thanks Andy way Way, good afternoon, and welcome to the
muster on Hakanui.
Speaker 1 (02:02):

Your next welcome along on a rather damp afternoon. Like
Nate said, the West Tago amp Show underway tomorrow, so
shout out to everybody who'll have their raincoats on the
Savo getting everything set up for what will be a
big occasion. The music today this is Rihanna Worth Calvin Harris.

Tianaw thirteen point three, Titora fourteen point six, Winton thirteen
(03:23):
point eight, and Woodland's at thirteen point one. Jamie McKay
joins us in the country crossover Shane Jones on fire
on Jamie Show just before as well, when you can't
help it, ignore what he's got to say. Actually he's
pretty scathing at the Green Party, it's fair to say.
And as well the Southern what are we calling this
the Southern storms shout happening at Nigel Woodheads, which is
(03:45):
occurring next Thursday. So we catch up with Jamie Morgan
Green of Venice Fence, looking at the situation on farm
from a veterinary perspective at the moment, Warren Rossavoy mumu
he's doing some valveing today, see how that's going for
whole And then Shane Young, vice president of a Central
South and Vintage Machinery Club, about an awesome raffle we've
(04:06):
got going that you want to be a part of
if you after a serven piece of machinery for your farm,
and then Phil Duncan for where the watch wraps the hour,
so we'll get underway with Jamie mckaye. This is the
Muster until two o'clock. Thanks to Peters Genetics, it's time
(04:30):
for the Country Crossover, joining us as Jamie mckaye host
of the Country out of Dunedin. Good afternoon, Jamie. How's
the week being Yeah, not bad?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Thanks Andy. I think the highlight of the week came
just in the last hour and Shane Jones, the Prince
of the Provinces, the Mighty Martua, described Chloe as a
demonic egg beater, and straight after he did it, he
sent me a text with a smiley face saying, not
sure where that came from, but it was gold.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'm not sure, but it sort of described Chloe and
demonic egg beater. Maybe she's the way she her physical
behavior in Parliament is like a demonic egg beater.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
But then of course he got stuck into Debbie and
Raweri and said they're akin to the moa. They are
about to become extinct. He just makes all this up
on the run, so glorious.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Demonic relating to or characteristics of demons or evil spirits.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Well, depending on your political alliances or allegiances, I think
the Greens can be quite evil on occasions. They would
certainly be very evil for the New Zealand economy and
the farming economy. It doesn't even be a thinking about.
It doesn't be a thinking about if you're a farmer.
If Labor as the next government with the Greens and
(05:48):
to Party Murray, although Shane might be right, they might
become extinct, Labor could easily win all the Maori seats,
which would give them a strong presence in government. So yep,
I mean, I guess the coalition government we've got at
the moment is far from perfect. They've already started, I
mean the gloves have come off already. See More and
Winston are jostling for positions. My read on it a
(06:11):
year out and a lot can change in a year, Andy,
is that both ACT and New Zealand First will cannibalize
the national vote. Yes, I think we'll still have a
national lead coalition, but Christopher Luxen will be in a
weaker position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Do you realistically though you listen to Joe Luxon on
your show again this week and lovely person Joe, but
it doesn't really fill you with a lot of hope.
She's in charge of agriculture.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
I've publicly said this, and I'm not saying something that
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Said to her.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
She's in there because she's a nice person, she's a
friendly face, she's to be fair, she's got a bit
of a rural background. She's out there to plicate I
think the farming community after Damien, who had a much
more fractious relationship with farming. But let's be honest about it,
they haven't got any agg policy. I don't know when
they're going to come out with some. They'll make noises
(07:04):
about caring for farmers and the primary industries, but they
don't really because it's not their constituency. Their constituency is
Beltwey urban New Zealand, and that's where they hope to
win the election. I think one of the interesting things
that's happening at the moment is Chippy's like a half
deflated balloon. He's not doing anything, but he's polling well.
(07:25):
Labor's polling ahead of National. Depending on which pole you
believe personally, he's polling as well, if not better than
Christopher Luxe, and yet they've done nothing. The only thing
he's done, and I think he's got away with this
and it's been a political success for him, is his
capital gains tax. He's flown that politically. In the past
that would have been totally unpalatable. But I think people,
(07:50):
or certainly a good proportion of the population, believe that
we need to broaden the tax space. And there's always
that element that want to get the rich pricks as
well well. But the problem with a capital gains tax
at the moment, if we'd had one for the last
three or four years, Andy, guess how much it would
have brought in. Nothing, literally nothing, because there's hardly been
(08:11):
any capital gain. In fact, there's been capital loss on
housing or secondary home. So there's not going to be much,
certainly in the initial years gathered by this capital gains tax.
So you know, it's a political position. You can argue
whether we need to broaden the taxpace or not. But
(08:32):
what I think stupid about it is giving everybody three
free visits to the doctor each year. Wealthier people can
afford to pay to go and visit the doctor. Yes,
the health budget needs a whole lot more money. While
I would just plunk all the capital gains tax money
if it indeed comes in, and give it to the
health budget and it can be targeted and spent where necessary.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The Southern storms shout happening next week at the Woodheads property, Jamie.
This is something we're encouraging everyone to go to, right.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah, well it'll be like fishes and loaves, you know
that biblical story. I don't know how many people are
turning up. Excuse me, the more the Merria. The idea
kind of started at the Canterbury Show when we were
excuse me launch launching the Makaisa and Greg Menzies, who's
a great bloke from Emerson's in the tiny pub. We
were sitting there in the rain, having a few quiets
(09:23):
on the Thursday afternoon. He said, you know what, when
I get this pub back down south, I'd like to
take it down to Southland or southwest Otago and shout
some farmers. So that's how the whole idea originated. And
then spat scot on board and then we decided to
I did a bit of calling around and we looked
at the worst affected areas and I think a general
(09:46):
consensus is that, you know, South Otago's probably fared as
worse or as badly as anyone. And then you get
someone like Nigel, who's obviously very well known, good networker,
just yeah, a good bloke and I know he's I
asked him.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He bit my hand off.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
He said, yeah, why would I turn down two pubs
coming to my farm? So and I just think it's great.
Everyone has just donated silver fern farms with the meat.
I think an Z have got a coffee cart and
an ice cream cart. And there's some travel company and
I need to get their name right. They've tipped in
a farm travel company. They've tipped in a thousand dollars
(10:26):
just for some of the incidental costs go around these
And it's just wonderful because look, jeez, I've seen the pictures.
I mean, I look at look at the pictures of
the Clyde Vale golf course. For instance, it's the Allen Grange.
I've never played it. They say it's a great golf course.
But mostly, you know, two two thirds of the trees
are gone and there's just such a lot of work
(10:48):
to do, and I know farmers have got still got
lots of fences down with trees over them. And you're
getting to the stage now where you're weaning lambs, Andy,
and you know as well as I do, are the
last thing you want with weaned lambs dodgy fences because
guess what, they'll find their way through it. So you know,
this is just an opportunity to take two or three
hours off the farm. Come and have a bear, Come
(11:10):
and have a yarn, no strings attached. We'll feed you
and water you and then hopefully sends you home with
a smile on your face.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You were running out of time and I wonder to
have you on about this. The Makaiser. It's a bold
hop oil and fused New Zealand pills and the billed
with the taste of crystal lemons and lames with a
refreshing finish. So it sounds like a lagatop. What's a lagatop? Radlers,
So a beer with a lemonade, but of lemonade at
the top to fill it up.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
No, no, no, no, it's a citrusy craft bear.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
To be fair, Andy, I'll tell you where the space
will be there as well.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Don't worry well exactly, Look, you know, like I'm a
craft Bear fan.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You're not.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
I mean you're from Balfa, obviously you wouldn't be, but
I should know that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, I'm only joking.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
But yeah, they'll have they'll have all the the good
Emerson's ones there, like their Pilsner and some of their
other ones. They've got some session Bears is there as well.
But you know, the Spates will be there with the
old Triple Star or whatever you call it, the stock
standard Spates and the most then the most popular Bear
in New Zealand by a mile at the moment is
(12:17):
the Spates Summit.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
We had a low car Bear, so all the.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Young blokes turn up and think, well, this is low car,
but I can drink plenty of this, so instead of
they just drink twice as much as they would have
otherwise and then put it down to weight loss. But anyhow,
every man for his own and I'm really thankful because Spates,
Hayden Finch, good rugby player, good ki boy, he was
the one who volunteered. He wanted Spates to come along
(12:42):
as well with Emersons. They're both under the Lion umbrella
and we're very very thankful of them for putting that
on and silver Fern Farms for the meat as well,
and the Milton Lions who were doing the barbecue. And
also if you're getting going along and you're from the Milton,
Bealcluth or Lawrence area which is quite a big catchment,
the Milton Lions will get your home. So if you
(13:04):
can't arrange a sober driver, get someone to dump you
off and we'll do our very very best to get
your home.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, just very quickly. A shout out to the balf
Young Farmers Miss Balfa happening tomorrow week at the belf Hall.
It's all the money's going back into that redoing the hall.
Up to Jamie, so enjoy the weekend and stay away
from those demonic gig beaters.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Yeah, no danger of me and Chloe getting too close.
I wouldn't think see it. Go the All Blacks b Team.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Go, the AB's Bees, Jamie McKay and the Country Crossover
Morgan Green for many s Vets. We catch up next.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
The Musters Animal Health segment, brought to you by NS Vets,
adding value through practical advice and service, no gimmicks, no patience,
Total vet care.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Morgan Green Venus Fits joins us on the musta this afternoon.
Good afternoon, Morgue. Calvin Harris'll take you back to your
beats of days.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I was just thinking the same thing, Andy, Yeah, that
could that goes that goes back away away while now
doesn't it.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
So yeah, all.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Things that are in the memory banks, Certainly I don't
think the body would be able to cope with some
of the stuff that we did back then.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Now certainly does now in his face. Of course, you
guys are the We catch up with you on a
regular basis. How things been lately, all the.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Things it's been taken along. We've been pretty busy, but
we would expect to be this time of year.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know, it just sort of looks like next couple
of weeks things are just beginning to slow down away bit,
which is what we would expect.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
We're most people now will be through their first round
of of A B and yeah, guys will be starting
into the second round. So we're we're just doing a
few lace non cycling cows.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I guess animals that happened to come up in that
first three for most people. Hopefully the numbers aren't too big,
and I think in general they haven't been you know,
submission rates in general have been pretty good. Probably just
a little bit worried about what conception rates might be
like just because cows are still producing a heck of
a lot of milk at the moment. You know, I
(15:19):
think from that point of view, From a production point
of view.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Things in general have been really really good.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
So you know, it's, yeah, just making sure the conception
rates are up to scratch. And obviously, you know, one
of the things that people can do is maybe come
in with some early scans just to make sure that
you know they are on track from the point of
view of yet. Look, if cows haven't come back on heat,
that yet they are in calf rather than they've gone
into what people call a phantom stage, which is those
(15:46):
animals that have a heat and then don't subsequently have
a heat and you think.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
They're in calf, but they're not. So that's just something
to keep in the back of your mind.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
If you think that non return rates are actually way
better than potentially what they should be, you know, it
may be a good thing, but equally it may be
a bad thing, just because you know, cows have been
producing milk really really well, So it's yeah, just something
to keep an eye on. Otherwise here there'll be some
people will be just about to put bulls out, both
(16:16):
in the beef situation and for dairy guys, especially if
they're coming in with sort of.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Four weeks of AB. Yeah, there's a lot of people have.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Rather than doing six weeks of AB as they have
done in the past, maybe do four weeks but using
sex semen.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And then of course obviously we have.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
A lot of people using technology so that most of
them are a b all the way through. But it's yeah,
just making sure that you have checked the bulls out,
that everything is you know that they're fit and healthy
and able to work. And obviously if you are noticing
problems with bulls, getting them out of the herd because
you know they're just likely to prevent some of the
(16:53):
healthier bulls from working. And just keeping a real close
eye on them rotating them around, especially in the dairy
situation and in the beef situation.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Just make sure that you know there's no injuries.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
We see a lot of those at this time of year,
you know, lamenesses and fractured penises, that sort of thing.
So it's just, yeah, keeping a real close eye on
things as you normally would, just making sure that the
bull team is working the way that should do, because
if it's not, yeah, it won't be so.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Good at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
And the ray thing you said before about production possibly
hampering conception rights, what's the big concern here.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Oh, look, it's from the point of view of energy
in versus energy out. When cows are producing a lot
of milk, there's a whole load of energy going into
producing that, and so you know, it's how that energy.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Is partitioned within the cow.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
And we will often see that when production is really
really good, reproduction can be impacted.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
And likewise we'll get it the other way around.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
You know, we can get seasons for production is pretty
poor for whatever reason, and then actually reproduction ends up
being really really good. So it's just how that energy
is partitioned within the cow. You know, we are getting
to the point a year where keeping the energy levels
into the cow becomes a bit more of a challenge,
purely and simply because grass goes to seed, so the
(18:16):
quality drops off. You know, they may be eating the
same amount, but the actual quality that's in there, or
in fact, a lot of the time what happens is
the NDF or the neutral detergent fiber in the grass
that increases as the grass hardens a wee bit and
they actually don't feel like eating quite as much as
what they should, so they feel full quicker and therefore
(18:38):
don't eat as much either. So yeah, keeping grass quality
under control is really really important, you know. And obviously
we have a situation this year where when payout is up,
people are inclined to use a lot more supplement in
the shed compared to maybe what they might normally do,
and that drives milk production. So high protein drives milk production, and.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
It's just, uh, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Keeping an eye on those things. You know. Obviously high
production is a good thing.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
I'm not saying it's not, but it's just trying to
get that balance right between production and reproduction, and that's
easier said than done.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Is there a bit of a concern with blight possibly
a lot of cliver explosion due to the rhyme we've
head nail and so timich is being in the early times.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
Oh, look, absolutely, it's always a bit of a concern.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
We probably do tend to see it a little bit
earlier on than now. But absolutely, it's you know, we
do have conditions that are pretty ideal for growing clover,
and once you're growing clover, the risk of float is
certainly there, and you know, probably as big a risk
for beef cows as as anything else, especially if they're
(19:46):
moving into you know, into new padducks, that can be
a risk. And obviously the other thing once we get
into a few weeks time is you know, going on
to new grass padducks and just being aware of the
amount of weeds that can be in there. So yeah,
in particular, the likes of spurry and year and fat
hen may contain oxalates which can bind calcium. So we
(20:08):
can often see luke fever symptoms when cows go on
to new grass.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
So it's just been aware of that too.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Regarding the RG we were talking about a kid to
finish out the Avays arguably the big teams planning against
Wales on Sunday morning. You're Irish team, You've got the box.
There's going to be a hell of a game and
it'll be a big mountain to climb if you had
to win.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Oh look, yeah, I'm not holding out a whole lot
of hope, to be honest, but that said, there was
certainly much improved performance by Ireland against Australia last week.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I do think Australia.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
May have been half halfway on the plane home already.
I think their second half performance was pretty poor, but
some of it was the Irish performance was a lot better.
I think Ireland, you know, a few weeks ago, were
deservedly beaten by the All Blacks. They performed really really
poorly in that game, which to be fair, was probably
not unexpected. There was a number of guys that was
actually their first game of the season.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
So you know, it's a time of year where it's.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
A bit difficult.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
The Lions tour, there was obviously a lot of Irish
on that and then they had an extended break after
that competition. But you know, for the Australians last week,
they've been going hard at it for a long time
and you know, I think it's you know, they've.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Played something like fifteen sixteen tests this year.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
I think it's you're throwing super rugby as well, and
it's it's not that easy to keep the body up
and probably in a lot of cases keep the mind
up as well.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Look, I think in All Black d.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Or a n E team would probably beat Wales at
the moment. I think they're they're pretty poor. They're a
shadow of their former cells. The Welsh rugby Union seems
to be in a bit of disarray.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know, there's a.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Lot going on behind the scenes there by all accounts.
So look, it would be nice to see Welsh rugby
back in a stronger place, but I think they're a
good few years away from that happening. So I would
fully expect the All Blacks, as you say, even though
it's a B team, to have a pretty handy win
at the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Okay, Morgie, to be sweat to get into the team
at Indias Fits.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Oh look, just pick up the phone and give us
a call.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
At Riversdale it's two zero two five six three six,
and in Tiana it's two four nine seven zero three nine,
And yeah, look we're available twenty four to seven three
sixty five.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Morgan Green of India's Fits. Always appreciate your time and
enjoy the weekend.

It's probably a quite a welcome rain for Master Chetham.
I think yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I mean at this time of you you don't really
turn down moisture in a lot of places.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
No, absolutely a so those ones we've been heaving sort
of in the last few weeks, you know, just absolutely
drive the ground out some of the chronic and you
know it's the reigners. Yeah, welcome, And you'd say most
people will agree probably that fifteen to twenty miles once
a week will be quite good.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
So as far as the velvet thing, how's that been going, Yeah, No,
it's just the same as laugh one to be fear Indie.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Just it's just coming off doing about thirty animals a
week probably, So it's just just a weekly job. Well
this year as you're probably more of ature this year, sleep,
but just a weekly job we've got to do.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You say it's a chure.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Why is there?
Speaker 9 (24:00):
Probably just reflection on the processes of things too. Theater.
We have had it good for the last probably eight years,
I guess. But yeah, the process this year just pretty poor.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Really saves no sign of a breakthrough coming occurring any time.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Soon, I don't believe. So now it's probably still a
bit early to tell and and no, but I suspect yeah,
nothing will really change for the season anyhow.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So what do you do? You just treat the product
like you would like any other season and just take
it off and just do what you've got to do.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Really, absolutely, I think I think everyone's done it of
course is probably killing quite heavily on these on their
older stags in particularly, and anything that's not cutting sort
of decent weights just down the road because vincent process
are originally good for especially for older staggs, essentially sort
of worth some money is venocence. Yeah, a lot a
(24:51):
lot of growers and producers are just getting stuck into
their into the col velvenue steaks.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So that's probably your saving grace for the industry, the
fact the Villason schedules are right up there too like
the other ones.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Yeah, no, absolutely. It is a challenge, of course, is
that there's a unlimited space for old staggs. There is
a freezing work, so a bit of a challenge around
getting guinea animals space for them and that works. There's
a lot of challenge, of course, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Do you make the call sooner than later regarding what
goes to the works and what stays well.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
We we air policy is just basically as the velvet
comes off your way teeth and if it's not up
where it should be, they get a tag and they're
going to marb and hopeuy you get space for them.
And yeah, a lot of guys are pretty organized and
they have space already organized and blocked up and organized
and but yes, sometimes you just don't know here you
(25:46):
get to get and yeah, yeah, so there's a little
bit of a challenge at the moment, but yeah, it's
just a pat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And pulsele really, So, how's the track to where it's
been going?
Speaker 9 (25:56):
I know we've got on pretty good in story, It
was a bit pinching, a bit slow, but no, the
last last couple of weeks we got into it and yeah,
and all their crops are in them spreads, there's this
rain will be going in very good actual Lisa, Uh,
I think we just got maybe seven or eight hickey
as of grass going probably next week with a bit
of luck, sir, And then that's all the egg work done.
So I know we're sort of on top of that
(26:16):
sort of things until well, until the grass grasstops gravel.
The grass is growing, but until the bailor starts coming off.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, Baylor's when do you hope to do that? You reckon?
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Oh, I'll hope to make a start next week to
be fear just yeah, yeah, it was ready to go now.
So yeah, next week we'll probably make a start.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
On that soil duncan from where the watches on the
show later on in the Yeller. So as far as
you're wonder cross, so are you keeping the same policy.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
Pretty much same policy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
Yeah, it's probably a few more hicis of kale this year,
but now it's the same policy really. Just you're just
cracking on doing what we normally do. So yeah, there's yeah,
say they're all in them growing, well, Pa, you're growing,
so you know it's good.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Well that's ray is going to be a god scene
of the crops just gone on the ground right.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, one umbercent days a beat wind in anapaticas swedes went,
and probably it will be two weeks ago now so
that they'll be loving us. But weaving the rain and
at cal just week it's got so and on what
there we we got something on Wednesday. I think it
was just round to be second and quite nastly for
them too. So yeah, it's just quite handy the having
(27:21):
this rain right now.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That's what you call good management.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Well I think so all good luck. I'm not sure
what it is, but either way, it's that's good.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Now, last time we spoke to you, you were about to
hit away the fun out. I used to follow the
rallying circle. Being part of the team there, sounds like
it was a good weekend.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
Yeah, no, so no, it was a good week initially
so Caleb the driver, he managed to clean up the
national competent in shipeni heal sir, yeah, or you can
see him out doing it, so you know he's very
happy with that. So we celebrated pretty well on that
Sunday night. Any health made a very slow Monday coming home.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I'm you could have a smile on your face
as you wake up in the morning knowing that you've
achieved the goal.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Absolutely, So we also got a team trophy as well,
so for the for the best and best team for
the year, so you know it's it was. It was
pretty amazing really.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
The Tiany Fishing Classic is happening next weekend, of course,
so what's supposed to be at Labor weekend, but the
weather dictated otherwise. Well you're going up for that, I'd imagine.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
No, well not actually no, there's actually the boat club
have lenn Ross fishing competition this weekend up there. My
grandfather started that. Well I'm not sure we're way back
in eighty two. I think it was wow and uh
and it's just it is just for Gore Boat Club
members as such, and and it's have always been this
(28:47):
this weekend about well what we did at third weekend
in November. I guess yeah, ses we were at, Yes,
we were at. So so we have actually got the
boat clubs has got their own one this weekend up
there so we can head up there for us. We
got head up there letter on today for after we
get the revelving done. Sir. Yeah, no, so that's why
we're doing any album.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So how many members in the Gore Boat Club?
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Oh gee, this good question actually there it might be
it might be wrong saying this, but I have a
feeling that the Gore Boat Club is the biggest club
in New Zealand that doesn't have a lake beside up
or land landlock Town. Yeah, well lake water water land
Town or something like that. And so I'm pretty sure
(29:32):
where they didn't have that total for a while. So
whether that's still got enough, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That's a hell of a state. While well done, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Can't and I can't hear how many members there is,
but yeah, so no, it's it's yeah, so yeah, we're
waiting to Tenna this weekend for the Len Ross Fishing Weekend.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
ELSA, Yeah, good on you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We'll leave you to it. Always appreciate your time and
all the best in the fishing cup this weekend.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
Yep, no good has got any.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Warren Rossavo Momo. Now up next Shane Young. He is
the club vice president of the Central south and Vintage
Machinery Club. These guys want you to win, attractor.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
This interview brought to you by Agress Center South branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton, and ranfully dropped by your
local Agress Center South branch today.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Shane Brown is club vice president of the Central Southland
Vintage Machinery Club and joins us this afternoon on the muster. Shane, good, afternoon,
great to chat.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Are you getting on Andy?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah? Pretty good. Now, firstly, the Central Southland Vintage Machinery Club.
We know there's a few of these clubs still in
existence around the South. Tell us about you got you guys,
about what you do at your one and what's involved.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
No, that's all good.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
We're based at Winton where there's old dairy factory there
on the corner. That's where we're based. Is I think
there's a pretty good following. We've got sixty got sixty
odd members. We've got a big group of young, younger members,
which helps us along. Yeah, and we're just working on
a fundraising raffle at the moment for a new storage
(31:14):
display sheheed.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Good to see you've got young members in there. Do
you hear issues trying to treat younger people to come
along and being involved with things like this.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
Yeah, yeah, it is. It is easier said than done.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
But no, we've probably got a better dozen younger ones,
which is which is pretty good because it is traditionally
an older, older person's game. But no, we've got a
good crew and it helps for getting these big, big
jobs and big missions completed.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
What have you got in there as such as far
as old gear.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
Oh, there's there's a bit of everything. To be fair, We've.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
Got from old old traders, bulldozer's machinery. We've no old
telephone exchange, lawnmowers, do you name it. It's it's there,
but it is GM packed And that's the whole whole
idea of what we're doing is once we get a
new display shed, we can put a heap of machinery
over the here and then find out the stuff in
(32:09):
the old dairy factory and make it a lot easier
to get around and see what's gone down.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, it's the old adage, isn't it. If you've got
a sixteen mil spanner and some CRC, you can make
anything work.
Speaker 12 (32:20):
And a pair of ice scripts, a pair of.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Ice scripts are maybe some bond to tie.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Yeah, so no, we've got to it's good.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
We've got a good crew, and yeah, we're just expanding. Really,
I guess you could say it's what happens in time.
A lot of people donate machinery and stuff to us.
We don't like to say no, but sometimes when you
don't have room for it, it's best to go somewhere
else and not be in a shed, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And I dare say, well, everybody's got something of a
certain vintage as far as I don't know, implements for
the farm in the backyard as well. So it's quite
good they're keen to donate to you guys to keep
it all the life.
Speaker 12 (32:57):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 10 (32:58):
A lot of farms have changed. Farming has changed a lot.
There's a lot of farms have changed hands, a lot.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
More, a lot more sort of what we just say.
Speaker 10 (33:05):
Old sheep and beef farms turning into just dairy runoffs
and things like that. So we get clearing sales and
then there's some old machinery that's been lying around forever
in sheets and stuff, and then they instead of seen
it the scrap, they'll give us the opportunity to take
it on, so we end it. So we do try
to take it on, and we've probably got too much
as it.
Speaker 12 (33:25):
Is for the storage we've got, but no, that's what it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Is, right. So the shed you're building, tell us about it,
what's involved.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
So we're building. It's an alpine building shed. It's I
think it's fifty meters by twelve or fourteen meters wide,
so it's a decent sized shet.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
You know.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
We've there was a big standard maka kafas there. We've
cleared them off and got all the site where it ready,
we've bought the poles and got them standing and now
we're just at the next stage really, So that's that's
why we've started this raffle.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
And I work for Egriscenta South and talk.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
To them and see Nates and Zealand and they've we've
all come to the plan and worked out getting a
tractor and wreffling it off essentially.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
So you're wreffling a tractor off. It's a hell of
a price, Well, it.
Speaker 11 (34:09):
Is, it is.
Speaker 10 (34:10):
It's a base price one hundred and seventy five thousand
for the tractor and loader, but the brand new six
cylinder one hundred and twenty five fall Spare said, it's
quite a quite a prize.
Speaker 12 (34:21):
And yeah, so that's what that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And how many tickets do you hope to sell?
Speaker 10 (34:27):
Oh, I think we've got there's three thousand, tw hundred tickets.
It's yeah, it's got to go through the Lotteries Commission
and that you've got eyes to dot and teast to cross.
So but yeah, we've got that. We've got that sort
of They went under way. It was last Sunday, Sunday morning,
I think it started. And yeah, seems like they're taking
away pretty good now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
And what what's the ticket worth?
Speaker 12 (34:50):
That one hundred dollars ticket? But the odds are pretty
good at three.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Oh, it's better than winning that Blood and Lotto drowl
last week.
Speaker 12 (34:58):
I didn't win with my ticket neither.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
They just suck you into that thing, don't they? But
I mean, hell, who doesn't want to win? Who does
not want to win a tractor worth one hundred and
seventy k?
Speaker 12 (35:08):
Well, that's right, that's right. I need to be honest.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
If you're not in the market for a track there
and you buy it, you'll find someone pretty quick to
buy one.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I do say you will. At the moment, things are
pretty buoyant in the real sector as you would have seen.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
No, I think they've picked up which has been good lately,
and think all the aspects of the industry are looking
pretty good for a change.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Right, So somebody wants tickets to win a new tractor
at one hundred dollars a pop, which doesn't bad odds
considering us at three thy two hundred tickets? So where
do they go and get some details? If I want
to find tickets?
Speaker 10 (35:39):
So they can go on to it's been marketed on
the market, no market, what you've got Facebook in there
at the moment.
Speaker 12 (35:47):
It's online. You can go to www. Dot win a tractor,
dot co dot indeed. Yeah, so it's pretty easy.
Speaker 10 (35:55):
To find and you go on to the onto the
site and just follow the prompts.
Speaker 12 (36:00):
Yeah, so that's how we're working that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
So you guys have a Facebook page as such?
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Yep, yep, they've been subs a Facebook page and egressing
the South. It's just sharing, sharing it as well on
their on their face.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
When do you hope to draw the winner?
Speaker 10 (36:16):
It's going to be the Friday at Wymanory Field Days
that will have the treat the on air site.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The Southern Field Days for sure, yep.
Speaker 12 (36:24):
Site triple three. I think on Friday the thirteenth of February.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
What happens if you get on? But what happens if
you get unprecedented demand? Would you do another run of tickets?
Speaker 12 (36:33):
Well, we can't. What's the way the commission work? Actually can't.
If you were to do that, you would have to
start again. There is a lot in it too, don't
get me wrong with no.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
Absolutely, we've we've since figured out there's been a committee
of three or four of us and we've there's been
a of a lot of time going to it.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
But no, I worth see how this one goes.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Anyway, Hey, good on your show and all the best
for the referl We're going to follow us of interest.
This is a hell of a price for a hundred
dollars out there, you've got a pretty good chance of
wanting a tract and worth over one hundred and forty
k right, yep, yep.
Speaker 10 (37:05):
And one of their members is offered to give you
guys a couple of tickets if you just want to
give them away or do a bit of a thing
with them on the radio.
Speaker 12 (37:13):
It's up to you if you want to take advantage
of that. But yeah, one of the members is pretty
keen to give you a couple of tickets.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Absolutely, we'll get involved with that, Shane. Not a problem. Hey,
thanks for your time this afternoon. All the best selling
these tickets. I don't think you'll have a little issues
getting rid of them, to be honest. In Southern Field
days at way Mooma of course early February next year. Look,
we'll be a touch around this. This is intriguing and
hope it goes well for you as I'm sure it will.
Speaker 12 (37:35):
That goes gold. Andy will keep in touch mate, Thank
you very much.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
We still free Shane Yang of the Central Self and
Vintage Machinery Club.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Go.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
When you sell a tractor for one hundred dollars outlay,
nothing better, whether watches Phil Duncan's up next, This is
the Muster.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
Bonks eleven.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Before we wrap up on a Friday afternoon, we'll catch
up with Phill Duncan out of weather Watch. Good afternoon,
(38:24):
Phil Duncan, welcome to fry A.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Good a.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Thanks for having me back again.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
No, we'll have you back everywhere. You do a pretty
good job, to be fair. Now we're talking about the weather.
Obviously you're out of weather Watch. We're having quite a
bit of rain down here in the South today. A
lot of people are appreciate appreciating it, appreciating you. I
got that right, because yeah, oh good England works. That's amazing.
What have we got for the weekend? I suppose sport
happening tomorrow. What's to go?
Speaker 11 (38:50):
Yeah, well you certainly got a bit of a temperature
drop today. That old Pollar boundary that was sitting over
the top of you for the pout three months is
actually just coming up and flirting with the southern coastline
of Southland. So that's why your temperatures are more wintry today.
You've got a maximum of well we're predicting about thirteen.
That's not very warm overnight, A light it's a night
(39:10):
at three I wouldn't say that's very warm. And even
the next few nights ahead five degrees on Saturday and Sunday,
I mean, that's not too bad, but it's not exactly warm.
And Monday night you're down to two. So you know
we've got some colder in inirflow coming in as that
polar boundary. Like I say, it's kind of flirting with
the lower South Island. But the two cold days are
(39:32):
today and Monday. Once you pass that, or Sunday is
not overly warm with fifteen, but yeah, I think Friday,
Funday and Monday probably the two colder nights. And in
true spring style, you know, by Wednesday of next week
you could be in the mid to late twenties. Like
that is a huge difference, and you know that's a
(39:52):
well compared to today. That's a thirteen degree lifting your
temperatures by Wednesday of next week. So it's ups and down.
And part of the reason you're going to that up
next week is because there is a huge storm in
the Southern Ocean. So we're talking about that polar boundary
right that's ahead of the storm. Once the storm comes in,
it pushes in a big burst of windy northwesters and
(40:15):
that's why temperatures go back up. So it's going to
be and those winds, by the way, may not be
strong and south it might be strong, but further northward,
but it's going to be. That's the reason why it's
a change to westerlies again. And so while we are
talking about landin your building, I keep saying to people
the southern ocean is that it's still the more dominant force.
The ware the system's there, which means I think the
(40:37):
spring ups and downs are going to carry on well
into December this year.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You talk about where the patterns flourishing with each other,
we should be concerned about the offspring.
Speaker 11 (40:45):
Then yeah, yeah, well that's right. I mean, so that's
actually quite a good good saying, because when the polar
boundary is flirting with you, what I mean by that
is it's not moving from south to north straight up
over you. It's sliding along sideways, getting very very close
to you, like a river when it's just about to
go over the floodbanks, but doesn't quite actually really do it.
(41:06):
And that's sort of what you're getting. But about the
off spring, that is the storm that follows behind it. Now,
when I say storm. This is a huge system south
of New Zealand, so it's not a big storm coming
in for Southland. It is a major storm that goes
from Antarctica to the Southland region. It covers the whole
area in Ocean Sea south of New Zealand, so that's
(41:30):
going to be really big. But because it's so large,
a lot of that energy will be down there with
it as well. But that's what we're watching next week,
and it's likely to drive in very heavy West coast rain.
It'll bring in only a little bit of rain probably
for you guys, but probably Thursday is the chance of
that rain coming in next week. At the moment, we're
forecasting ten millimeters, which is only a little bit more
(41:51):
than what you're getting today, So it is a good
amount of rain. We don't want to see the rain stop,
even though some of your listeners might have to be
on where you are what you do for a living.
But yeah, overall, you want to have a bit of
rain each week as long as it's just kept to
a day or two and you get these big, long, warm,
dry stretches. So I think it's still spring like for you.
(42:11):
And like I say, I think it's going to be
springlight going into December this year, but you're getting some
good days in between. It's not bad every day of
the week.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
That's sure.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
That's an interesting weather pattern we're going through at the moment, Phil.
But look, the big question is can we peck the
fire up for the year.
Speaker 11 (42:26):
Well, I mean, I don't know. I probably wouldn't because
you know, if you're talking about overnight lows, of the
next ten overnight temperatures, only one of them is double digits.
That is Wednesday, where it's thirteen degrees. Every other day
is single digits. And when I say single digits, you
know you got there are there there's a nine degrees,
(42:46):
a seven degrees or two and an eight. But you've
got tonight is three. The weekend, both Saturday and Sunday
night lows are five. Monday night's low is just two degrees,
and then by Friday next week you're down to five
degrees again. So I mean, if that was me living there,
I would be still probably using it heat a heat
pump or the lighting the fire. But you know, maybe
(43:08):
you're at that time a year where you can stop
lighting the fire, but you still just use the heat
it for a little bit you know, just to just
to take the chill off the air.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
That's what I'm thinking, because if you were getting any
coldor under the minasays, then you would say, yes, keep
the fire going. But we're talking like mid single digits.
It's not an issue.
Speaker 11 (43:24):
No, that's right. So my dad when we when I
came up with my parents kid, we had open fireplace,
and I remember quite distinctly Dad would would stop lighting
that fire around about October. There was no like, that
was it. It was done. What happened after that point,
But then I do remember lighting the fire once around
(43:45):
Christmas Day when I think that was in the in
the nineties early nineties. We had a very wintry day
that was a whitehaddow like way up there Auckland and
it was you know, that was a cold ack and
remember it being single digits for most of Christmas Day
and hail and windy, squawly south westers. But yeah, most
most of the time the fire, at the least from
(44:07):
what I know of North Islanders, the fire stops around
September October, and you don't like it again if you
can until April, maybe the end of March if you're
unlucky and arresting.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
We're the forecasting. It is getting warm is the key messaging.
Phil Duncan of weather Watch, Thanks to your time. When
the muster is always my.
