Speaker 1 (00:19):
Jamie King farms over at Lake Heroco and West and
South and then joins us in Sergeant Dan Farming update.
Thanks for Sergeant Dan Stock. Food's here on the main
street of Gored. Good afternoon, Jamie. How's everything good?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Mate?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Here again pretty good today we die to wistly and
butsows and one feels like spring andy just looking on
the forecast. We're beginning lots of rain ad a bit now,
but it hasn't come and I can still see the mountains, so.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We will keep your fingers crossed well up there.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
And for Jordland and the likes, you've had quite a
bit of late snow.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, you know, there's probably been more snow on the
on the Princess and the care Quoise on September and
what there was a winter mate, it has dissipitated a lot.
But I think what they'd say, we've at least took
one hundred and sixty five or seventy mill of rainyu
since the start of September, so that's more than what
we had probably for the last half of Journe's law
(01:14):
and auks.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Mate, so jordyyed talking figures over two hundred miles for
September up till last Thursday, so you're not allowed in
that as well, but certainly frustration when you need the
big yellow Oh that's right mate.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Then on that note, it was starting to feel a
lot like last year, Andy, but I'll say that in
touch a bit it would because we hadn't got to
October yet, but we have been getting days with sun's
been cold, what have you. But the sun has been out.
We're probably a lot better off on feed covers, just
cover the dirty, you know, that sort of thing. But
(01:47):
I don't think even as scores up here, a few
quite the mostly actually torn to Jordian down the south
on plains coast to the coast, so Westers have been
given them a bit of a hurry hard tournament.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
So when's been a real issue as well lately Now
we too.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I don't mind the wind and we don't get a
lot of it in here, and when it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Does blot so draws a bit of stuff out.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
But it did blow light kicked here on Saturday, and
I was anticipating all that rain that night, but I
nearly got eighty one million of it, so it obviously
got sent up country.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
For example, here in Gore it was cool on Saturday afternoon.
But yesterday the boys had the hose house when we're
just going for a bit of a swim on the
lawn and such, because that northwister was blowing pretty good.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, that was beautiful over here to you.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I had a seven year old dead seat with his
weeks go on away to the river for a swim,
never mind the river being still a meter high than
what it normally is.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
But he was king. He was Keen's there was good. Yeah,
but it now was by me. It was real.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You could just hear the grass ground yesterday. But typical spring.
We've got all these males kicking around eating it, looking
for a bit of green stuff too after the winter.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
So how's laming going so far?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm pretty good, only for the most part, the mixed ages,
they haven't got much cover just there. They sort of
obviously spread out early. We're probably a little bit light
on crop, but all the flats in there, so the
engine room there. Good country is kicking away pretty well,
and all the early ones are plugging away.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Pretty pretty good.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But like, yeah, we're sort of a lot of our
country can be classes an.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Effective and a lot of shell around it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So you don't really know until the fat lady things, mate,
till you run the.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Battalion team but survive. But it looks a right So.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, so you're landing beat semi intensive.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, I'm not so much a sort of cake and
Scottie or Scoop and cake doll, lots a sort of things. No,
they just they do sheeperd They sheep it all the
peddics that you can sheeper comfortably. We don't poke around
over the hills too much. You create more issues and
what it's worth just with the spring weather. But anything
you can do, you know, per se hundred percent we
(03:50):
do and a lot on that note, mate, there's not
much else you can do this on the utes to
really start here and do it happen. It's a little
bit of maintenance in between times and fences and what
have you.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But yeah, so they help sort of seems to work
DN mates.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
This proposal to buy into the Alliance scroup. This all
comes to the crunch over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I think next next week we start these roadshow meetings.
Then then I railway here. I think it'll be interesting
on carriage. Every single shoeholder or launce to get down
and have a listening. Possibly chilling to me as I'm
not a big one on looking back handy, but it's
probably a couple of guys still up there that need
(04:30):
their ears.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Treat on a fee bit.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And I mean it's not going to solve anything, mate,
but it probably won't make us feel better. I'm just
probably brassed off. I don't think there's any other option, mate.
We've got to go, yes, but on brast off. You know,
we've stayed loyal for years and years and years and
we're getting nothing. It's been a cock app to be fair,
(04:57):
I'll say, for support an independent guy, I suppose it's
got something on the line, not just you know, check
your head and get voted on and put you hid
in the trough in happy days. But you can we've
been chewing on it for any months and we so
something's got to happen. So we'll just wait and see.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Would you consider that Jamie looking got a smaller processing firm? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Possibly possibly, Andy, I'd definitely going forward as far as
we're concerning.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Our gloves are off here, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I just yeah, we've sacrificed a lot of money over
the last few years by staying a little bit loyal
and we have got nothing better apart from a failed
co op, have we? So I just think co op
model with you know, there's obviously one quite successful one
in the country, but some of these smaller ones have
they just got two fat mate, you know, and arguably
(05:49):
there's a f company too that I would put them
in the same boat. Look at Farman's, look at them all,
and I just don't think it's I.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Don't think it's the future anymore. So we'll wait and see.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And there's a group still pretty keen on maintaining the
one und percent cooperative iron model, but it just comes
with a lot of capable, mate, and I mean the
Remix SI they hasn't got a lot of capable just
into the environment. Mon' do another couple of years if
we if we uh these procureent bettles, but only be
a couple of years and we won't have a market.
So yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting. It's wearing for a
(06:22):
good couple of years on bit. I just you know,
you can look after number one now, I think, and
not so much worry about the well if you worry
about the bigger picture. But there's only so much we
can do.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Wasn't he talking about the bigger picture?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
The Stags need to look at the bigger picture after
the last two or three games.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh mate, I just I think they might a bit
of boy a pile of We have menic hollows and
manic lowers, don't we And I don't know, hopefully we're
at rock bottom, but yeah, there's a few few this
is gone around there. There's just there's some clever play
on the Hopefully they will sit down and watch the
the Woman's rugby on sid Admittedly we did lose that
(06:59):
and Kenada were the superior team, but it was good
seat piece, break advantage line rugby, mate, and it was
actually the ball stayed in hands a lot more than
it was in the.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Year as well. So we just yeah, we won't we
won't go there.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Andy, It's been a month for freaking rugby on the
whole actually, but hell.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
The one real good news story in rugby, you can't
deny this as well at Targo doing the damage over
Canterbury and raising the ghosts of nineteen ninety four on
Lancaster Park when they had everything won but the points
on the school board in that game in the last
minute Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It was awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
More only caught the last few minutes, but that's that
Rent for early is a great challenge this year. It's
just it's traveled around the country and that's what's all
about it. It's probably kept us all more some vester
than the MPC, you know, amongst trials and tribulations.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But now it was really it was really good.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It was It was good to see and it's doing
some doing some laps and that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, hold on to your hat, Jamie. There's two possible
challenges left for the year. North Harbor's win us, but
they go to for South Bar this weekend to play
a targo and if it's a big f Harbor wins.
In case he's got the final challenge.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, it'll be interesting like that.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Staglan, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean Harve's had a disastrous season there or thereabouts.
They're working on a club player club player philosophy. Arguably
they should have been the North and they got turfed
at the final risk whistle yesterday. But like you say,
the MPC, regardless of how our team's going, it's just
been a hell of a season.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh, it has been has been mate. Yeah it's been really,
really really good and yeah and it's yeah, it's what's
all that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's good rugby.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And you said to watch a few of those younger
players start coming through and parking their heads up and yeah,
the future is quite exciting, I suppose, And then yeah,
that'll be interesting. We'll wait and see and hopefully mister
Rosa can get the job done next week, because he'll
be joining his fingernails too.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Auto mention good only Jamie. Always appreciate your time.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
