Speaker 1 (00:01):
I have a red boy it on mothern next out.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
This, it's a Lemmon slide it on the evening. Oh wait,
I like heroco this afternoon on the muster, Jamie King
farms over that way and joins us in the Sergeant
Dan farming around out. Thanks for Sergeant Dan Stock foods
here in Gore, who coincidentally weld under all that smell
of musually about eight thirty this morning was pretty dapper
down the main street of Gore. Jamie, good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You know, mate, that's a heck of a turn to
get going and get from Monday, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
One bird and one Scotch, one beard all eight minutes
thirty and it's glory now. When I was at Radio Score,
there was one song we played when we were doing
a show if you need to do a pit stop.
It was called never ever by the Old Saints. We
have for seven and a half minutes. He had time
to do your business and get back there, and it
wasn't dead there.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Perfect the internet et seusure, what a book, mate.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'll just leave the song going for a bit because
it does creak and eventually, look, how's everything over? You're
nick of the woods. You're getting through pretty well?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, got pretty good mate. We've got a beautiful day
again today, so it looks like a bit but we'll
clear it out to the east from in here. But
now I can't complain any so i'd say super dry,
considering oh we end up we've got forty or fifty
mili there that last belt, but it's also disappeared pretty quick.
But I had a bit of a ticker on Southland

(01:24):
on said they with her indoors the boss lady, and yeah,
you come home feeling pretty good. I've even got a
knuck grass indy. But we're going looking pretty pretty good.
Got five hundred hi pis of self anemonia and some
trace elements on the last week with had about three
eighty of it was with the bulky, which is pretty

(01:44):
much unheard of. And I can't even see where the
bulky has been, so that's an indication, so go pretty good.
Can't con find in the moment, would.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
You say your watered table's back and where it's been
compared to have the years at this time a.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Huge mate, hugely so yes, definitely, definitely definitely well down.
So his room will probably come up a wee bit,
but on that note, you'd be careful what he wished for.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
H pretty much the song is still going where we're
up to. I was going to crank in there's still five,
but it's twenty five to go on. It's a it's
a rougher javy, but yeah, it is has arguably been
one of those winters the end of winter. What are
we now about? The twenty fifth of August, another six
seven days and we're into a new into a new

(02:28):
season officially, that's.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Right, Yeah, it's it's it's just unkenny and we've had
winter Indy, it's been it's been cold, it's been frost
lot with grass gras has good stop and it's only
just kicking around there. But we you know, saw is
pretty just not too far away, and I think that's
due to the lack of moisture in the soil. That
always helps. So yeah, we'll just wait and see. Just

(02:54):
on everyone, all the all the negative people out they
keep on that spring we had last time, and heaven
twice one. You surely it's.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
All about perspective in the season.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Though, one hundred percent. So no, we'll just smack it
up as we go.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Here we go, We're crank a good now, Jamie an
it's a long song, the mate, That'll be a great
song in the worldsheed on. Imagine around the milking parlor
when you've got time to kill. Hey, am the Alliance

(03:32):
group with this proposed restructure featuring Dawn meats you supply Alliance,
What are your thoughts around it? Because interesting an article
from the Irish Perspective. I'll tell you about that shortly.
But what do you make of it, Jamie?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, yeah, mate, at the end of the day, what
other options have we got? Im we entrust the pairs
to be up there? Doesn't it to act appropriately obviously
is handful? Haven't done all zero accountability and that's what's
laid us down this track. You know that famously one

(04:06):
of the leans that history never repeats. But I'm sure
sil firms went through this, you know what twenty sixteen
or fifteen again, I don't know, mate, I've got two
different ways to look at it. Obviously, that are trying
to secure a protein source, feed source. When you look
at some numbers the team, it might be quite good
for us for a couple of years. Long term, I

(04:29):
don't know. We're seems to losing control of their product,
but it's probably hard to do because we're in the
middle of our way. I'll still have a lot to say.
The remixed do get together in this country night and
join forces and get bigger. But look at the frontier
model and something like that, right then, I tell you
how to look at it. You know, they are pretty
successful in New Zealand based company. But as far as

(04:51):
we're concerned at PA, you know, they've glad a sort
of off now and it's just yeah, let's get going
and fox on.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Do you think the whole this has bolted though as
far as that mega amalgamation which could have occurred s
eighteen years ago, yeah, big time mate.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
You know they're still given probably over capitalization and still
friends of books aren't too probably shit hot tell these guys, well,
that's an interesting one of the diversifications, probably working really
well for them. But yeah us, yeah, the horse part
and there's Tony Ego is probably any you know, and

(05:28):
there's a few of them have been stuffed around hopefully
working for allowance to fall completely units on its head.
But yeah, we're at the stage there, so we'll just
wait and see you going forward.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Irish farmers don't sound too chuffed about this supposed agreement
that's in the making as well, because what's an article
here from the Irish Scribes. The deal raises red flags
for Irish sheep farmers. That creates a real risk of
bore New Zealand lab William up in supermarket shelves in
the EU and the UK, underminding demand for Irish lam
and ultimately hitting farmers here in the pocket. I'm stressed

(06:00):
that low and came Irish sheep farmers can afford to
be squeezed further. So that's an interesting way to look
at it too rightly.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Sorry, I'll be I'll be, I'll be probably pretty brassed
off and in order for only the same thing, you know. Yeah,
you know, if someone came into this country and doing
the same thing and contrasting schemes, I suppose they've got
a population when we haven't. On that night, the farm

(06:28):
environment management systems are a lot more intensive and they've
got a lot more so that it's probably a lot
more expensive to raise a laim over there currently the
New Zealand. But I mean, yeah, population's going and corporate
to take hold. I suppose, don't they. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I think it's all about a year round supply over
on that side of the world. That's half the appeal.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, and I suppose that makes sense for in the
southern hemosphere, doesn't it. You know, in the sorry as
they're just coming out of summer, aren't they Sorry? Yeah,
but it might be really really good, but nothing's ever
years that.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
So so when it comes to these meetings, you reckular.
It's the case of having to vote use because the
other one isn't worth thinking about.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Ah. Yeah, we'll reevaluate the at the road shows and
try and give a couple of direct there's not a
wind up because I'm just there's a couple still floating
around there that are Probably part of the reason has
been zero accountability from some of them, which really really
frustrates me. You know, if you're gonna put your hand
up and do the role, do it properly. So yeah,

(07:29):
I know I've got a fair idea which way will go,
but otherwise what is the option? But on that note,
we're pretty loyal people here, and I suppose it's a
breath of fresh you toil gives opportunities to hunt around
and hecking you. Wouldn't it be nice if we could
just tender our livestock, you know, and we forgot procurement wars.
That'll be interesting, wouldn't it.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, it's going to be a supply and demand you
to get us, suppose, because you look at these numbers.
We had the figure that came out in November December
last year, and that was obviously during to the spring.
But then we think about the decline and red meat
Juden numbers just disappearing and being replaced by plants or trees.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's right, and we've probably enough trees to be fair.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
You can't eat trees, No, you can't.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You can't.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You can try, but it would be weird.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Hard, i'd say, so geeze, And so it might be
good yeah, short term. I think it's going to be
a good, good thing long term or don't. Yeah, I
don't know. We're just here. We'll see you see what
appends out. I'd love a crystal ball endy, but I
don't even in the kiss.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Good on you, Jamie, will let you carry on. Always
appreciate your time.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Hey, it's everyone.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I see the saga is still going. That started again.
This would be honest. Jamie King farming at Lake of
Okay thanks to sergeons and stock foods here, and Gore
in Pe for South, and Joseph Mooney just have a
catch up, oh shot of that stuff. Got to get
