Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is the muster on Haknui Keeley, Buckingham from Daryan
Zed and Studio Keeley. Welcome, good to see it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah you too. It's great to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Actually coming here and see where the magic happens. And
as we look out over blue sky on the horizon,
geez makes a difference.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I think you're will be smiling today in the sunshine,
especially my husband.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, the early lambing has just been one of those
occasions I suppose.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, it's all good. We'll get there mostly the way
through now, so that's cool.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And also Henry your husband, he did their golfing feet
there a few weeks back now for young Haddie, how's
everything been there?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah good, Yeah, he recovered. Well's beIN back on the
golf course. Hasn't put him off too much, so that's good.
And actually had some hour off to rod Arou on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Nice, you're excited. Good on you, Darien Zed. What's been happening.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We've actually been relatively busy catching up with farmers all
over the show. I guess not those ones two hands on,
but quite a few touching base just to check in
see how carving's going. Touching base with quite a few
rps in light of our RP a bit next week.
So you've had a really busy few weeks which has
been nice.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Nice one. Now dairy training offerings, it's one of our
topics today obviously, people wanting to up skill all the time.
What's in the offering?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, so dairy training I think actually earlier in the
the Cee Hamish he was on air. So Dairy Training
Limited is one of the subsidiary of dear Enz and
run courses throughout the country for farmers from all levels
from basics too ices farm managers down to farm assistants.
(01:43):
And we've got some courses that are starting in the
next the start of October that I just wanted to
make sure people were aware of. So we've got Emerging
Leadership that starts on the eighth of October and in
v Cargo that is targeted for people that are looking
to build I guess their people management through the sector
(02:03):
so to I sees herd managers and that's just looking.
I guess that that people lends. You know, how do
we grow our teams, how do we communicate well with
staff on farm? We see heaps of people moving into
continent milking positions and obviously with that comes a role
of leading a team. And so that that's perfect for
(02:25):
people looking to I guess build further into their careers
where they will be in charge of a team and
any other one is that's starting, So emerging leaderships and
for Cargo and then Feed for Profit is looking at
how we I guess maximize efficient news of pasture on
the platform you know, we learn teaches people how to
(02:49):
use the spring rotation planner tools like the supplement price
calculator and annual feed budget and so that's targeted at
people I guess an any part of their farm and career.
Like we had people there that were just going fifty
to fifty SI milking this year that wanted a refresher
around how to maximize the use of pastor in their
(03:11):
farm system, right down to people that you know were
second season in. So that's kicking off the seventh, eighth
and ninth of October across Winton and v Cargo and
Bell Cluth of this time, so were Stoke to be
putting that offering up into South Otago with exterians, you'd
actually consulting Officer Mark Olson Vitlin's come on board as
(03:34):
our tutor up there and Winton and Vicago will be
tutored by Tessa Giddies who's a local dairy farmer and
near Gore.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Now you're talking about the dairy training offerings team simergy
being the busy season, did you have farmers reaching out
just wanting a few tips and advice regarding getting the
team on board prior to the carving season because it's
a marathon not a sprint ultimately in the in the
farming environment.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, I didn't, in particularly myself, I didn't, but it's
definitely the conversation that we're having probably around May each
year just how we're either on board new staff or
what we can do through that winter period. I guess
get everyone on board, and I guess with the same
mindset going into carvon, like what are we all here for?
(04:20):
What is our role? How do we work together as
a team to make carbon go as smoothly as possible?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And we talk about leadership. Leadership rolls on farm and
there's so many layers of this as well, depending on
what you want to do internally, how far you want
to grow, and what you want to expand your horizons
on as well.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So a good leader I suppose, yeah, definitely, and so
I suppose that's the other thing I wanted to touch on.
So there's those two courses happening are the side of Christmas.
But after Christmas, Dairy Training is actually rolling out four
new microcredential courses, and two of them were actually gonna,
(04:59):
I guess take a step back in time with the name,
but we're bringing back bizz Start and Biz Grow, So
Dary instead have run those, oh gosh, for as long
as I can remember, they've taken away hiatus and now
Dairy Training is bringing them back into the region. So
that looks I guess at you know, within Bizzstar and Bisgrow,
we look at the business side of people, people that
(05:19):
are looking to I guess, go into business, and it's
from budgeting to learn it, talking with lawyers and accountants
around setting up businesses. And then there's that people side
in there as well, which is really cool, you know,
around personality, profiling of staff, just I guess, every every
aspect of the farm business, like when you're going into
(05:41):
business that you need to be over. So that's cool.
That will be starting kicking off what they call Semester
one next year, so February March, and then we've also
got for I guess, new entrants in the industry targeting
that space. We've got animal health and pasture fundamental courses
coming as well, So that's I guess right back at
(06:02):
the start, you know, the basics of identifying lameness mastitis,
that type of thing, and the animal health fundamentals, and
then for the past to fundamentals, plate meter and three
leaf stage, taking it right back to for those people
that either really need a basic refresh or people that
are really new in the industry, you know, people out
(06:23):
of school or you fresh on farm.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Good only, Katy, thanks for coming in studio. Always good
to catch up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Thanks Andy, thanks for having me.
