Speaker 1 (00:07):
Sounds so bad, so bad bad.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This is the muster on Hakanu. We get texting in
pet food to five double O nine with your details
thanks to Otago pitt Foods a five hundred dollars pet
food voucher to giveaway on the Master Christmas Giveaway. A
salute to the farmers. Jared's Dockman of Derry and Ze
catches up once again. Jared, good afternoon, howse thanks Andy?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Things are great.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, look we'll talk this talk about this straight off
for bet. Another reduction in the GDT, a possibility of
correction to milk prices and the likes. How would you
sum it up though? Like the year when you look
at it from the milk price as we've gone to
the new year as well as opposed for twenty twenty six, Well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Look, I think it's like the year has been very positive,
you know. Yep, we've got a we've got a reduction
in the you know, potentially the milk price, but we've
got strong milk production graat so I think that'll probably
coun direct it somewhat. But hey, look if we if
we finish out the year and we had a long
(01:15):
way to go, so productions high Rod around the world.
But I still think there's some gaps in the market
for you know, we're not seeing big build ups of stocks,
so you know, I'm kind of pretty confident it'll be
nine dollars plus. And look, most farmers should be should
be making some good, good profits with that might take
(01:36):
the heat out of the property market, might take the
heat out of the price of cares. So yeah, production,
production's up. Price might be a little bit subdued, but
orphans orphans been equal. I think when for a really
good season.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Would you say that production is up across the board?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, I think so. I know, Southunds very strong. Southunds,
my understanding, is really really leading the country at the moment.
Probably that team set up on on On last year,
so things are going really well, and South on the.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Situation around Michael Plasma Bovas as well, Jared, that's a
good news story for the year.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean, that's just been a collective effort and look
we're on the home stretch. I mean, that's been a big,
a big win in the bi security space. Again, collective
efforts with the MPI Osbury during b sectors and you know,
again I think you know, fingers crossed from the home
the home stretch and there will be a really good
one to put to bed. But I think importantly what
(02:42):
it has done is has just highlighted the need for
us to be really cautious around the bi security space
and you know, be prepared because you know, again we
don't know what's in front of us. But you know,
I think that's been a good taste for things like
you know, God for bid foot and mass disease and
(03:04):
things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, that's an interesting point you bring up there, Jared,
regarding bio security. How do you prepare for it on
farmers such or can you look?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I think I think you can to a certain degree.
I think you've got to be really conscious of your
innate requirements. I think you've got to just have in
the back of your mind if I'm having a lot
of people on farm, where are those people being? Are
they just basic things like in the boots clean? Are
they you know, things like that? Are we taking hygiene seriously?
(03:36):
Do we know where our stocks coming from or going
to or what's coming on farm? I think that's important
thing just to you know, that's the stuff that we
can we can practically do on farm to try and
manage some of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So it's all about keeping your book where up to
speed as such, and all the auditing processing that we
see there is actually a rest now behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, I think so, Look, I mean, look, we do
need to I mean, traceability is important from it is
so important from a bio security point of view, because
you know, if something does get out, you need to
try and get back to the root cause. So I
think there's there's an element of the book where you've
just you know, inlocked. Farmers are running multi million dollar businesses,
so you just need to get there right. But there's
(04:20):
some good practical stuff that you can just have in
the Becky mind with people and stop coming on farm
and just just make sure you've you've tipped all the
boxes and got everything right.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Jared putting your dairy and z head on. How would
you rate the past twelve months we've had.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Look, I think it's been really positive. Look, We've we've
had some we've had some challenges with with increasing cough.
You know, cost containment is a big thing. But I
think we've seen some really good you know, from a
darien Z perspective, we've seen some really good milestones that
we've achieved, We've got positive results securing and research around
(05:00):
methane emissions. We know that home ground feed is delivering
more profit per heat there. We know that genetic gain
the top twenty five percent in each year they're are
going to deliver on average fifty extra kilos of milk solids.
So yeah, I think some of the science and research
(05:22):
that we're developing as pain dividends. And I just want
to call out actually a policy team because they do
an immense amount of work behind the scenes in terms
of advocating for our farmers and using the science and
research that we do gives you a high degree of
credibility to our policy submissions. So what w that's really
(05:47):
important is that you know, politicians are not just having
to listen to emotion. They really have to look at
the credible science and research that's put in front of them,
you know, to make positive farmers. And you know, so
I think we're on the wrong track the right track there.
I think the other thing that I've been really proud
of is just how well our team work during the
(06:10):
windstorm in October, you know, just behind the scenes, engaging
with farmers and stakeholders. That's that's been a really proud
moment for me for the Southern team this year.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
So as far as twenty twenty six, you're expecting things
to continue as us.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, I think, Look, I think that's a real hard thing,
you know, know what's around the corner. But I think,
you know, I think we've got some really good We've
got some really good research and science that's happening at
the moment. We've we've got you know, the team are
really fired up and to want to put on some
good events and increase the tendency here so that farmers
(06:50):
can actually get more value for the levy. I think
then the pen report that we did with Themobile was
really positive showing that farmers farmers are getting good value
for their levy. I think the thing that kind of
concerns me a wee it is I'm not too sure
whether we've got air preparedness and business continuity kind of
(07:13):
plans all sorted yet. So we're king to do some
more work in that space next year, and you know,
because we just want farmers to be better tomorrow than
what they were today or yesterday and stuff. So yeah,
but all in all on Yeah, really looking forward to
twenty twenty six and god, I'm just you know, I
(07:33):
just hope that their farmers get a bit of a
breather over the Christmas period, even if it's an afternoon off,
and we know how how they work year and day
in and day out. So yeah, just excited for our
farmers to have a just a further continuation of the
season and you know, out into the future. I think
it's really positive.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Dared Stockman of darien Z, thanks for your time. I'm
the master this year. You enjoy the festive season. We'll
catch up in two thousand and twenty, says.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I appreciate your time, Andy, and Merry Christmas to you
and all of their fairy farmer's out there in South.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter. Brought to us by
sheer Well Data working to help the livestock farmer. Three
conspiracy theorists walking to a bar. You can't tell me
that's a coincidence, remembering text pet food to five double
(08:31):
low nine with your details. Thanks to Tago Pet Foods,
we have a five hundred dollars pet food voucher to
give away. We'll do that draw tomorrow morning, and we'll
have the results on the show tomorrow afternoon. My name's
Andy Muwer. This has been the muster on Hock and
now you thanks to Peter's genetics, get those techs in,
get you tomorrow
Sounds so bad, so bad bad.
