Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome back. This is the muster on Hakanui.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
James Burrows of Dairy and z joins us next based
on Alexandra James. Good afternoon. How things over in Central
Target today?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah? Good sun shining. It wasn't a frost this morning. Yeah,
a good day any day at the moment that there's
not snow on the hill and there's not frost on
the ground. It's a good start. She wasn't very pleasant Monday. Tuesday,
she was pretty cool over this way. Not great for
autumn grass growth, but touch wood was sort of We
(00:48):
might be getting a few more warmer days heading into
the middle of March, so they keep telling.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Us hopefully things warm up like the global dairy trade.
Great figures released overnight, zero point seven percent rise of
fourth rise in a row, and another substantial one at that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, nobody can be too unhappy about that. It's definitely
heading in the right direction. And I think we need
to take those wins while we can. This bit a
doom and gloom around elections and RMA reform and whatnot,
so we need to focus on the little things. And
that's well, it's a pretty big one to be fair.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, do you notice that when you're speaking to farmers
and the likes that they're pretty happy with the situation
at the moment, all things considered.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, by and part Yeah largely. I mean, at the
end of the day, it's the milk companies who decide
the whether the payout is going to change and whatnot.
But it certainly provides a bit of optimism going forward,
especially for the conclusion of this season. That takes a
little bit of pressure off as we as we draw
(01:55):
down into autumn and winter.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Now the Dry in Z Live vote this closes Friday
next week.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yep, it does indeed yet so all levy paying milk
supplies should have been sent a Levy vote pack, so
that would have either been as a hard copy in
the mail or to your email from Elections in Z
and that should have been recent out this morning. Just
(02:25):
a reminder on that one to you. It does close
on Friday the thirteenth, next Friday, So we're just wanting
everybody to get out and have their day. The main
main thing we're wanting is people to vote. That's what
we want to see. So you had to remind everybody
it's easier to do online. So yeah, please get out
(02:47):
there and vote.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Now, this is a great chance to show democracy at place.
So if you've got the capacity to go and vote
on this, I sug just go and do it.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Right, Yeah, yeah, definitely, I mean so he give a
lot easier to vote than to vote for local elections
and whatnot because it's there's no picking and choosing. It's
pretty pretty straightforward. And if you have any any questions
on any of the information that's provided, there is an
eight hundred darian Z number. There's also a lot of
(03:17):
information on the website, so if you have any questions
about anything, feel free to get in touch with the
local rep the website or to call into the one
hundred darian Z and we'll do our best answer both
questions for you.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Genetic gain workshops genetics highly relevant on the farm Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
No, very relevant. So we've got two genetic gain workshops
happening down in south and one up in North Otago
that I'll be running. So we've got some really neat
host farmers for those doing some really interesting and cool things.
So end of the day, genetic gain is one of
(03:58):
the Well, the genetics is the future, you heard, and
putting a bit of security around your herd is improving genetics.
So anything that we can do, whether it's from full
selection or understanding progeny testing and DNA testing a bit better.
If you're wanting any of that kind of information, come
(04:20):
along to these field days. They are the seventeenth and
eighteenth and Southland and nineteenth in North Otago. All that
information again, as Armadarian said, website.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So people need to enroll, well, just turn up.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In an ideal world, people would register on the website,
but you can turn up on the day. Registrations are
taken on the day. So yeah, but it's up to everybody.
But an ideal world would have everybody signing up online
just so we know what we're dealing with when we
turn up.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, let's remember the biggest wark up crowds in the
country go to Rugby parking and V cargo.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, you don't pay before you get there.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No, no, exactly exactly that's always the case. But you
don't want to be that person that's left without a
ticket when everybody else is inside and you're sitting outside.
Got to listen from the listen to the commentary or
the screams from outside.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Autome management.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
We're starting to see or at least be honest, the
days are shortening right up now we're getting into that cycle.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yep, No, definitely, And again there's some really good tools
available on the Darians website if you go into the
Autumn smart section. So I guess really focusing on body
condition score targets leading into dryoff. We all know how
critical they are for the twenty six twenty seven season,
(05:45):
so we don't want to be compromising on that now.
And again just looking at eclat management, attracting good staff
and setting up basically setting up for an easy and
successful winter. It all start well. It starts back when
you're putting crops and whatnot. But having strategies and playing
a B and C and place if things don't go
(06:07):
well is critical. So you're not running around panicking. The
things do go pear shape.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Good only James always got to catch up with the
team from darien Z and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The Ovo perfect.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Thanks and talk to you later.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
James Barrows of Diary and ZI, you're really relevant point
there regarding crowds going to Rugby Park for example, I
mean you can see that a block of chocolate and
the mail and get people to pre order their attackers
but they probably just rock up there. That's just the
South un Forsgona. But like James said, if you're going
to these workshops as the likes, always pays just to
put your name down on paper, organizing Sussy, your roles
(06:42):
and the likes, it makes life a lot easier.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Right. Robin Greer is up next from PGG Rights in
real Estate.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
The Mark Kelly's going to round out the Y hour
