Speaker 1 (00:11):
Welcome back to the muster. Katraina. Thomas joins us the
South and Rural Support Trusts. Brunch on Us events kick
off next week, just to give people a bit of
an idea of where these are occurring. A good chance
to take a brain, to take a break. Yeah, I
was going to say a brain, but a break off
the farm. There's probably a better terminology. I could train
a good afternoon house siggs.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh, hi, Andy, I can't complain about the weather. I
know farmers loved to complain about the weather, but the
weather has been amazing. We've had one week earlier in
the week you know mud, mud and MUDs and those
cabs well we couldn't even tell what breed and brand
they were at one point. But can't complain. Can't complain.
But we're very excited to be bringing out Brunch on

(00:54):
Us again. This has actually gone nationwide and it was
initiated with a support of FMG, but I've had loads
and loads of others come on board nationally and regionally
to put this together. The Brunch on Us now we've
done it over is probably about our third year. So
what it is, it's just an opportunity to get together

(01:16):
we've picked seven locations across Southland and it's just a
chance to meet up sort of between ten thirty and
one o'clock and over the barbecue come and have you know,
eggs and bread and some sausages and the biggs. You
can come and get a real coffee. Endy need a

(01:37):
real coffee when you get off farm, don't you.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
You just made a break when it's a busy time.
That's all the boils down to pretty much.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
That's another little incentive that we've got the coffee carts coming.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So to roll out.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
We start next week on Wednesday the twenty seventh at
Gorge Road at the Gorge Road Country Club. Then we
moved to Riversdale at the Rugby Club on the Friday
the twenty ninth, then across to a Tardelle at Farm
Source on Tuesday the second, Lumston the following Thursday, Clifton

(02:09):
on the Tuesday. Then now we're going to pop up
to Tiana to the Rugby Club. So baby Clifton is
the golf club. Don't worry, you don't need to remember
all these. You'll be able to look up the South
from Rural Sport Trust Facebook page and the Wilal Support
Trust website. So we've got Lumsdon, Clifton, Tian Now and
then we finish up in Glenham because apparently the Glenham

(02:29):
ones have a little regular gig on a Friday over.
I think it's meg Cow Coffee for there. The biggie
is farmers anyone associated with farming, anyway of farming. Bring
the team, bring the neighbors. We've got father support, like
I see from lots of rural professionals and those businesses.

(02:51):
They're going to be there. So if you want to
have a fresh conversation or a free conversation and not
get charged, you know, we'll have lots and lots of representatives.
We've also got some of the farm advisory guys coming
as well from farm Wise and egg First and stuff
like that to get some free advice, ask you know,
what else could they be doing at this time of

(03:11):
the time of the year, and just just chats can
catch up with others. But I know it can never
be perfect on farm. Like we've had ups and downs,
you know, perfect Patty was was telling me, you know,
just little things like we've cultivated and you know the
hes got a little bit cars so they're going to

(03:32):
sort of pull them out of those weird gaps. They
don't used to have them to sheep, but you know,
cows get calf. Things happen and but but talk to others.
Others will have solutions. You know you, I'm sure we
knew were farming. Andy. You used to yarn to others
about what was happening.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Of course you do. It's all about connecting. That's what
you did. It is.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So look, we're really really excited to bring these to
to Southland starting next Wednesday right through until September ten
thirty to one. Like I said, go to the Southern
Real Support Trust Facebook page. We'll go to the website
Real Support Trust Google that. If you just talk about
the website, we're going to fava this new website Frontira

(04:15):
Paige for that, which was fantastic, lots amazing, loads of
information on each of the regions throughout the country. And
then we've got a whole events page on there, so
you also see what other things are coming up within
the region, what's happening nationwide, and if you've got friends
further upcountry, you'll be able to see if there's a
brunch on us and they're part of the world neds

(04:37):
as well and encourage.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Encouraging them to go.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
But oh yeah, I gold say they feel what I mean.
I'm feeling exhausted. We're about halfway through. The heapers are coming,
the beefes are coming. The beefes are moving on, thank goodness.
So that's great to see them be raised and not
being killed until later on. Yeah, first world problems about

(04:59):
the weather. I can't really like to see. Can't complain,
so you diary.

Speaker 1 (05:04):

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. I was walking through
the jungle and saw a lizard on his hind legs
telling jokes. I turned to a local tribesman and said

(05:38):
that lizard's really funny. Tribesman replied, that's not a lizard,
he's a stand up chameleon. That's us for the afternoon
