Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome back to the Muster. It is the Muster Christmas
Giveaway select to the farm of this afternoon. John Brady
of euro Egory joins me to talk about how things
have been over the past wee while and as well
about how you can get into some of a chance
to win the Preezy Car thanks to the team at
euro Egory. John, Welcome, How are you doing pretty good yourself? Hell'
(00:31):
things been lately.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Been very very good. Obviously a very slow start to
the season with a wet spring, but definitely torn around
pretty quick and things looking very positive now.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So you guys are pretty busy at the moment.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, that last rush before Christmas, just trying to get
last machines out of the door and get everybody up
and running and mayhem of just trying to get all
the crops and the grown before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So you're egory, go back to the nuts and bolts. Literally,
what are you guys about?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So you're agree? We based and Southland and as Burton
main importers for European machinery like Lincoln bread Ale Missouri.
Heava hans A fertilizer spreaders out of Australia. So yeah,
just a professional range of machinery.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Just a lot of different nepplements.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I suppose, yeah, cover a lot of cultivation gear, seeding
gear kind of specially spraying and fertilizer gear.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
As far as cultivation gear. It's an interesting hell. We
talk about technology changing, but it's the same. A lot
of systems these days you can do I see you're laughing.
Now you know what a city city? Yea, you plow it,
your roll at your disk, you disk your disk. You
might leave a lot a couple of times, but these
days it's like a one pass and a lot of instances.
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It is definitely like it is very trying times out
there at the minute, and obviously well like the payouts
coming down again unforced there I say it out loud,
but a big thing like the price of machinery a
sky rocket and exchange rates are hurting things. But the
big topic around the place in a minute, especially with
contractors and even just large scale crop farmers, is it's
(02:08):
all efficiency. How can we do the job better for
cheap or without sacrificing. So for example, it was a
big machine IE installed last week for a contractor and
a one pass seeder. So I'll go straight into plowed
ground and he's putting kale and annual grasp and that
is yet just straight in with a powerhero and an
(02:30):
air seedar on the back beautiful finish, went to your
cows on it again. So it's just trying to do
less compaction, look after the ground more, but at the
same time save the end user. That's efficiency exactly. Yeah, yeah,
get more for less. Isn't that what everybody wants?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
What about twill versus non too? Are you saying much
of a change there?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
H My jury is still out on that and I
probably need to be careful what I say because I
deal with boat next question. So I both have the
place we did definitely do and like I spent a
lot of time working in the UK before it came
out here and mentil no till was all big in there,
(03:11):
like everything has a place, but it's all a cycle. Personally,
I don't feel you can go one way that you've
got it. You've got to have a circle of doing
a bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
What's your what's a big thing to go? People to
remember when they purchase thing, would you say, looking at the.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Size, longevity, how long the machine's gonna last? Especially for
the price of them nowadays, Ummm, what what the wear
is like on it? And most of all, what kind
of job was it doing? Like I know everyone thinks
(03:47):
just cultivators just sticking the ground, torn your dirty over
and put seed in the grow. But with the whole
cost again and structure of actually doing the whole process
now of getting your seed in the ground. You need
to be getting your best g out of everything. And
that means like it's no different to painting the wall.
If you just go and slap paint on a wall
and you see every imperfection, You've got to do all
(04:09):
the steps beforehand properly. You've got to skim it properly
and everything. And that's just down to getting your nice
even finished, all that kind of stuff even just consistency.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Right. So you look at Ireland, You've been involved of
farming over there and over in New Zealand. When it
comes to the egg sign of such as a machinery
as it much of a correlation between the hemospheres.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Very very similar atmosphere, very similar practices. A lot of
my customers are probably gonna shoot me for saying this.
I do feel Ireland and Europe is probably still ten
years ahead on how to do things, and I do
see a lot of that stuff starting to float down here,
like the one past systems I mentioned first, spreading section control,
(04:51):
like just getting better value from money. It definitely is
all starting to come in down here when guys are
trying to save money. But even down to eating, like
you said you had a bit of experience Fairman back
in a day, Like I've got grain drills out there.
Now it's sex control auto shut off, like it'll tourn
itself on and off on the headlines, and it's all
(05:13):
just comming down to again your efficiency SAVEN on seed
SAVEN and everything. But at the same time, you can't
just think idiots driven it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You've got to have proper operators, which are getting hard
and herded to find.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But a lot of attractors are steering themselves as well.
I mean, you're getting to the point the only thing
attractor won't do for you is make your cap of tea.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh pretty much yep, pretty much right.

look at the farming landscape down here, Yes, we talk
about the payout, it's gone down, but overall everything's looking
(05:55):
pretty good.
