Speaker 1 (00:00):
Niques on the show. We've got John Pemberton all the
way from well Dan and Edendale. Means he's theory, can
I John Hegan?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah? Good much, you know, Chris ah, very good things.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What a cracker day out.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
There to day makes a change, Krothy Deck. We needed
a bit of sun on our decks. Yeah, yesterday afternoon
had a bit of a driver in the district and
the fear of seft. You got the state of the
farm's lot and they have been a bit of a bit
of a battle for some on picking. As we sit
reveilt it.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, and it's not just what the wind did well,
it is ultimately what the wind's done, because it's been
every day that the lake of growth to and farms
are just looking a bit hungry, aren't they. Just we
need some good weather.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Just like a sun mate, just very yellow looking looking
peddis block even today and we're cutting cutting soilers, kind
of bit of solis at the moment on a broaden
block and just the difference of color of peddis from
that ten o'clock this morning competer ten o'clock today morning. Unreal.
(01:02):
So it's all sitting there, really, Boggie, we just need
to just need more than one day a damn sun
a week.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, we did, and we do and at least we've
got today. We head Saturday and the forecast is looking
quite nice all week.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah yeah, no feared happening. We just poured our first
for the concrete for the new shed and so yeah,
we've just been hanging out. We're probably probably started earlier
we anticipated, but from when we started, we're probably three
weeks behind now because of the of the whay the
weather's gone, but no, it's all coming together. Yeah, so no,
(01:35):
no either. This week I think people will be in
a far better state of mind.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh completely, and you'll be underway with amazing I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah we are. We I think we're about five
six days at the bride and farm and I think
sailing twenty fourth for the Newsies property. That hurts the sale.
So we're just making sure we've got our ducks lined
up from market in Canterbury and such like, so that
you know people got options having new camp a little
(02:05):
bit earlier.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, yep, you just get that carving right for the window, yes, yes,
oh that's really good. And so just to touch back
with that storm there a couple of weeks ago. You
obviously you've had a drive around the district. Not a
lot for you, though you feel a lot. You got
off pretty lightly. I think you may have been away
were when it happened.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, I was thinku you won the Global Focus
program for Enfield. The last stint was a five week,
five week compulsory program, which was just a juggle as
it was for the time of year if evething got
going on. But yeah, no, Oz and I'd sort of
gone through Canada, Scotland and I was in Italy, saw
the storm coming and just kept in touch with home
(02:48):
and you know, stuff certainly had had their work cut
out for them, and you know, it didn't go all
to plan for them. O generated blow up day two.
We've had a generator for twenty years, so that was
a bit frustrating, but the good old community pulled together
and we got managed to finish milking, get the cows
off the platform, and then my brother minised to locate
a generator out of Sensilow target. My parents dragged it
(03:11):
down and then got us going that afternoon, so we
got a pretty like I think the biggest window we
had was nineteen or twenty hours for milking cows were
just peaking, and to be able to think that Brydon
farms still peaking, they are the older cares of the
carving later certainly have noticed that we've come off our
peak on the younger cares and means so.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, but three damage, Yeah, a few sheds, losing the
lost rooms. Actually the roof come down on a pen
of cars, but luckily the gate caught caught the roof
and literally ended up with just a mezzanine floor above them.
No casualty, So very lucky to hear. And yeah, a
few trees down. The only real trees were hitting at
Biden were the ones that snapped the one down wire
(03:52):
at Feeding the Farm, and it just took a while
to get pounded to get to realize was how to
action get done. But all in all, I think we've
got off light. Now we're just parking up and waiting
for diggers. We've cleared what we had to. But I
do see a real health and safety risk with these trees.
And I've just contacted local countries. When when you're local
with your digger and the cutting saw on it, we'll
(04:13):
just get you. And we've done all we need to
do we've got other stuff to get on with, And yeah,
it is a conversation we had in a cashy loafing
of all support Trust and Mark Patterson was you know
that was the biggest thing that came out of the
conversation was, Yeah, there's obviously the obvious around house fly
for farms, but the biggest was people whistling out there
with chainsaws and these trees and quite a curious situation
(04:38):
with the stump still attached, And yeah, just a real
concern that people aren't just focused on cleaning up for
the sake of cleaning up. What can they get away
with to operate the farm and appreciate that it's hard
for people to sit back and look, but you know
the farm can still operate. As long as you've got
water and temporary features running around, we can sill operate
(04:58):
these farms. So that's probably the one mess and trying
to issue people as just patients could save lives.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And that is a message that it's been reiterated a
couple of times just about the whole safety aspect, the
weight of a tree route with with soil or around
it versus cutting it off halfway up. You know, where's
its pressure point. How safe are you so and I think, yeah,
you're down to diggers and even still spotters with diggers
as long as they're at a safe distance.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Absolutely. You know, it's there's not a huge amount of
people out there with their tickets for change saws my understanding,
a lot of older guys. Yeah, and you know, I guess,
I guess our works stuff does have to come into
account about exposure for businesses. So yeah, hey, summing your
(05:48):
back's going to change people's attitudes too, right, absolutely, yeah,
so that's a big thing. I think the sun coming
out couldn't have been timed any better.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And I still think the most critical part with the
destruction is the farms, and because theres still have to
function as they were, whether this has happened or not,
Like you've still got plenty to do without the tree
clean up.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So yes, so can I wait, Yes, this is the
question that people need to ask themselves because prioritizing mate
and prioritize feeding, getting excupplement, feeder and getting water done,
getting the crops, and they they are the crucial ones.
They always a crucial ones, a number of those before Christmas,
and you know is and there are options too like
I think as a dust settles there might be more
(06:29):
options potentially for logs to come off farms to go
to lot to port or mills or whatever. So let's
not rush in and actually waite a product there as
well as the other side of the two lot.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, be patient. Now tell me though, just because you
had to come back from your travels, how fast so
were you and is there any change you can catch
any of that back up?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, so I was about a third of the way.
They're not quite halfway into it, and so the group
carried on from Italy to Spain and there they're just
slandered in India, which is I was sort of That
was sort of the one I was really looking forward
to because I want to see how the dairy cooperative
works over there. It is globally one of the big
that is the biggest in the world and a huge
(07:11):
number of small farms, so a massive chunk of moving
parts with from that, so I was quite fascinating to
see that. But they finish up in Ossie and I'm
planning on joining them next week for the final week
in Aussie So yeah, so not not done yet.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You just have to organize another trip to India.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. So you know, look the reality of
this is the first world problem that I've got. No
one's hurt. Casby Milk business is running, and yes we
bumped in the road, but it is what it is.
And just very grateful that I was like enough, things
carried on smoothish at home, but probably got home just
in time. Staff were starting to get some bags on
(07:51):
their eyes as soon as I got home. I sent
half the crew away for a couple of days to recharge,
and I know the family is quite relieved to be
able to hand the right is over. When I walked
down the door.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, perfect, Well he wents safe and happy and you're
doing your beast for them, so well done, mate. Yep
a mate, I'm a bit done here. I'll thanks very
much for your time and we'll keep in touch. I'll
catch up with another time, but and you certainly will
be back in touch.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No worries. I'll get the horn solid
Niques on the show. We've got John Pemberton all the
