Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome back to the master. Jared Stockman of darien Z,
joins us. Jared, good afternoon, that's a well it's been.
It's not exactly cold this morning. We had the firearm,
but merely out of just ambience more than any other reason.
I suppose.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
It has been a bit fresh this week. But you're
not too bad.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Today, I don't they darien Z.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Things ticking away.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, got a lot on Andy, just obviously closing out
the season and yeah, really looking forward to the next
twelve eighteen months and you know sef on Otago, got
a lot of things happening.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, so we look at the next season, regional priorities,
what comes to mind.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, well, look, we've been talking to farmers about what
they'd like us to see, and we're kind of building
our plans from the bottom up, which is really important.
So get the voice of the farm revolved three quite
kind of careas that we're focusing on, so environmental regulations
and resilient farm system and adaptation, which sounds like a mouthful,

(01:10):
but I guess the goal is compliance that works in
the real world and just kind of clear pathways for
farmers can implement without losing productivity. On farm and so yeah,
a bit more of a focus on practical options of
pedic infrastructure is really topical. And we've got a good
round of events that we're planning in July, particularly around

(01:34):
carving and car here and stuff, which will be WHI
would be really good kind of seeking priority and probably
most importantly is is around people, so skills training and
farm progressions. So you know, if we want resilient farms,
we need resilient teams, skills.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Training, progressing dairy events that focus more on people and
some good takeaways for our you know, for our farmers
and their teams to move move forward with their progression
and the industry and kind of the third key priority
is around farm profitability and business resilience, So you know,
profitability is what funds everything else, resilience, compliance, people, infrastructure

(02:20):
and the like. So we really want to focus the
next twelve months on kind of strengthening people's knowledge around
financial literacy, benchmarking and you know, just I guess tying
our events back to that that kind of profit in
terms of you know, the recommend recommendations that we make,

(02:41):
what are the implications and benefits for farmers in terms
of their properit loss and balance sheets and stuff. So yeah,
really looking forward to the next twelve months and yeah,
we're seeing some really good events. We're trying to I
guess improve the quo bloody of the events so that

(03:01):
they become a real leagship that farmers want to get
along to you. But we're also going to do more
targeted discussion groups, so it's really just interacting with farmers
and doing a deeper dive on topics that really met
it walks.
