Speaker 1 (00:12):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Thanks for joining us. You're listening to the muster on Hakawie.
My name is Andy Muller. Next, we're catching up with
Jared Stockman out of Derry and Z to give us
an update on the situation on the farms after the
weather event nearly two weeks ago. Now, gee, time moves on.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Jared. Good afternoon, halfnoon, Andy. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, I'm going pretty well, But I think the bigger
question is how are you and the team at Darry
and Z. I dare say there's only enough hours in
the day to get stuff done.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we've been pretty stretched out the last couple of weeks,
but well, what a difference a couple of days, mate,
with a bit of sunshine at the Yes, So I
think you know, the mood of the provinces is lifting.
But yeah, still a lot of work to be done
out there in the region. A lot of trees down,
(01:02):
a lot of a lot of disruption, and a lot
of very tired and fatigue farmers out there.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So from your guys perspective, we're looking at the next
stage of the recovery.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah. Look, the regions still in the state of emergency obviously,
and that will expire on Friday, and you know, the
teams have been thinking about recovery, and I mentioned that,
you know, Civil Defense and Royal Support Trust will be
you know, working on their plans at the moment in
(01:34):
terms of what his recovery look like. But you're going
to be going to be a long time to get
things sorted. There's still some permanent fixes that will need
to be made in the power networks. So yeah, long
long road ahead of us.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So what's the messaging we've got today for dairy farmers.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh, look, they're absolute champions. Leaks to be on us.
But I guess the two things that spring to mind
for me is one is health and safety of themselves
and their team. They haven't had much of a break
between carving and mating. They've had horrific storm in between,
so there's been some very tired people out there. And
(02:17):
you know there's still a significant risk around clean up
trees leaning against each other, branches that are stuck up
in trees that you know may not come down until
the next win. So I guess general message for us
is get yourself in the right frame of mind before
you start attacking some of the trees in front of
(02:38):
you probably the second messages and look, it goes without
saying there's been a number of farmers that have been
caught out with you know, this this loss of power,
and I think the wider, you know, the wider question
moving forward as people will just need to think about
the resilience of their farming operation and what are the
(02:59):
key risks that they face, you know, to be able
to continue to operate. And look, I think you know,
the great thing is about farmers is they want to
help people. And I guess the message is that if
you've got yourself sorted out, then you know, the community
can rely on you for the help. And and I
(03:19):
think that's the you know, that's the that's the main message.
Just have a think about, you know, some of the
risks on your farm, in your business, and then how
can you mitigate them so that you know, when the
next ADVI event comes around that you're ready to help
out the community. Coms have been a real challenge with
(03:39):
you know, throughout this event, and that's probably challenged everyone around,
you know, lack of connectivity and and I guess you know,
people will be sitting back and going, hey, you know,
maybe it's a it's a satellite product that we need
to look at. You know, we need to get generators
sort of for the shed, but we also need to
(04:01):
consider a generator for the house so that at least
people have got a bit of a base to operate
from and just make things that a way bit easier.
But yeah, I think those are the questions people will
be asking themselves over the next couple of weeks. But
we're really keen that they you know, focus on the
short term at the moment, looking out for themselves and
(04:24):
you know, there's there's a long road ahead for these people,
and you know, us and real support trusts and the
other key stakeholders in the industry are just really keen
to help out and support them through the through the
next few months and you know, ensure that they have
a good a good season, And.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
That's going to be the big thing going forward, is
just checking on on your mates and your neighbors. As
far as the well being side. You can't underestimate that enough.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, I think you're right, And you know, again it
comes back to we're really conscious that you know, farmers
work hard, they work long out and we just want
to make sure that they're making the best decision and
you know, with the right frame of mind before they
you know, before they start doing some some big stuff
that might cause injury or or even fatalities. And you know,
(05:14):
that's what I've got my fingers crossed for at the moment,
that we just we get through the next couple of
months and you know, no one seriously to you or
you know, we don't have fatalities in this clean up.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And there's a number of barbecues happening around the province
as well, just a various times, just a great chance
for people to go to farm and connect. And we
think we need to urge people to go along to
these as well, don't we.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, we had a there was a there was a
heat last week and it was just great to see
farmers get off farm, dairy farmers and shouldn't be farmers,
the farmers get off farm. You know, just have a
you have have a hamburger, have a check to the
neighbors or you know people maybe they haven't seen for
(05:57):
you know, for a week. While there's another one happening.
We're Real Support Trust is organized another one covering our
Aurora in wood End on Friday, and yeah, I guess
the messages. Let's just keep looking at keep an eye
on there. We're all support Facebook page. You know, Simon
Hotcroft and his team have just been doing a wonderful job,
(06:18):
per is per usual. But yeah, just keep a look
out on the Facebook page. And you know, if you can,
yourself and your staff get along to one of these
barbecues and you know, just take take a couple of hours,
breakoff farm and connect with some other people. Yeah.
