Speaker 2 (00:18):
Katrina Thomas joins us on behalf of the South and
Rural Support Trust this afternoon and our Beef and Lamb
segment Katrina good to check once again we catch in
the calf shed. How's everything being.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Oh, it's always a beautiful experience. Indeed, I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Think I've ever heard of calving is referred to in
those terms before.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Or lammy, Oh look, I think you love number one
calf and you're excited and you get set up and
then you remember, oh yeah, okay, but you've got is.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's hard work. It is hard work musically and physically,
but you've also got to remember these are your future seats.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So it's no happy epiphany or anything when you come
out of the line like that.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Well yeah, you know sometimes you know, you have your
little moments.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So there's life in general though. Look, South Liberal Supportress.
We've talked to the team quite a bit over the
last twelve months and the branch on US events have
been going really well. Tapanui tomorrow they turn Yes, yes
it is.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It is Tepanui's turn tomorrow so Friday, so they've been
rolling out events and the Tanga I've actually been rolling
out across the country actually so Attago've got the final
one at the Tippanui Golf Club and they kick up
at eleven o'clock until one, so look just popping. Just
come as you are, grab the team and do that.
We finished hours. We've rolled out out over sort of
(01:41):
the end of August in September, and we had them
across the across the country or across Southland.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Really really good.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Turnout and sometimes it wasn't a huge turnout. But look,
it's not all about you know, quantity, you know, it's
about quality, taking time off, you know, wanting to come
and connect with farmers and chat about, you know, what's happening.
And as we were doing that, yes we were getting
towards the end of end of carving, getting past that.
(02:09):
You know over here six or eight weeks of AI
and the cheap ones, you know, they were just starting.
But it was really good to talk to them and
to hear what they're doing because once again they were
talking to the neighbors they're like, oh yeah, yeah, the
triplets are doing this, or the triplets are doing that year,
we've got a few pets, or the Tudors or the
you know whatever it has got. I used to hate
(02:31):
mothering out those tudos so about the light brainless teenagers anyway.
But you're chatting with people of like minded people and
at the end of the day, if you just want
to come have a kappa, have some kai and just chats,
that's what That's what it was all about.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You found farmers in the community in general happy to
come out to these events.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I think that there's a number of them.
We know as soon as they see the you know,
the material go out that we're having these, I think
they put them in their diaries. I also know we've
got a lot of people who had never come before,
and I think that's a big, big thank you to
our rural professionals who also sponsor us and help us
with that, who also pass it on. So they're telling
(03:16):
their clients about these events and to come along, and
then they're also getting told by my their cousins and
their neighbors and everything else as well. So it's good
to see some newbies, great to see the oldies. And
when I say oldies. I don't mean as a mature
and age, but those who do come and I'm barly
up up in Tianna Palmu.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
There are all of their teams.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well we've never had that before, so thank you Parmu
for investing that time and you and your team and
it's just great, great to see to see people because
they don't have to struggle by themselves. The Royal Support
Trust we are there to encourage farmers to talk to farmers.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
The whole time of Parmu turning out, they would have
been one hundred and fifty, especially up in the basin.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Well yeah there was a barrier that was fair few
of them. But hey look that's that's great and.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The next thing absolutely yeah, good on ye And that's why.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
We had it out in Ta to do that. So
you've still for those who are west to Tago, you've
got Tepanui now it was it got the Mother News
to share too andy about the seven Real Support Trust.
We've had a few changes in the in the operational side,
so we had Fiona Comer who's been around for quite
some time and who's now become a facilitator and explain
(04:31):
what that is in a minute but we've got a
new operation coordinator which is Emily Wolseley and many will
know know her. Her and I and Rachel Nicholson. And
Rachel Nicholson is our Wowness coordinator. All three of us
used to be with Dairy Women's Network, I think way
back bride to probably twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, so we're
working together. So Emily has come on board as the
(04:54):
as the main coordinator operations for the seven Real Support Trust.
Rachel Nicholson is the Awareness coordinator. So we when you
call on that O eight one hundred number, you'll get
one of our facilitators or trustees. We'll get those details.
It then goes to Rachel and she triages what she's
going to do with that case. So she's a very
very crucial cog in the whole bigger wheel. And then
(05:15):
there's my doing all all the calms and communication and
cheating to you and telling people about the Royal Support Trust.
But then we also have another layer outside the trustee
who are the governance, we also have other facilitators and
they are the people that Rachel work with who go
up the dry ways to see farmers. So people who
(05:36):
may have contacted us and want a visit and we
generally do it with two people them from other team
male and female out of the team and these are
the facilitators. So we've now got on the Southland Rural
Support Trust Facebook page. You'll see we're calling for expressions
of interests. It's a voluntary role and applications are going
to close on the first of October. But using contact
(05:58):
Emily the details on there to find out about how
you can get involved. So if you've ever thought about
giving back in that rural sector, and especially if you've
been involved, you know as a farmer or a grow
it because we want different ages and stages and abilities
and things, please have a look at that advert and
please put your hand up if you want. But it
(06:18):
is it is voluntary, so that's what's happening. There never
a dull moment with the real Support Trust. But we
are here for people to call us if they need
to and of course it's on eight hundred seven eight
seven two five four. You can check us out on
our website, so just google that and also check out
the south and Royal Support Trust Facebook page. We're here
(06:42):
as a conduit to help farmers keep moving forward. You
don't have to struggle by yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
And that's a big thing for farmers to realize. We
seen it twelve months ago talking to the team and
what was going on, and very similar. If somebody needs
a hand, a problem shared is a problem halved. And
this is saying I pretty much go by on a
regular basis because hey, you've got to you got to
talk about things, right, you do, and that's what.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
We work out ages ago. Farmers need to talk to farmers.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh they were terrible that at once upon a time.
Absolutely good because they've.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Got their own they've got their own solutions. It's like, oh, yeah,
I had that problem once and this is what I did.
Or if you know someone who went through that and
they have a chat to them. So you've got your neighbors,
you've got your cousins, you've got everything else. But you've
also got all your raw professionals around you as well.
Also keep up the contact with them because you know
(07:35):
they love to come and have a cup of tea
some of them, so.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Some of them.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Keep up the content.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, it was wise. Words is always con train. I
always appreciate your time.
Speaker 4 (07:44):

big yellow thing out there.
