Speaker 1 (00:13):
The music today is the Train Spotting soundtrack. That song
there is called Bourne Slippy Boy Underworld. Our next guest
came up with the assumption it was a Christmas song,
which is anything but. Taylor Painter of Balfy. Young farmers,
for goodness sake, get yourself what is it. It's called
train Spotting. Go watch the movie, listen to the soundtrack,
give yourself a musical education.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, then I'll give it a crack.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Anyway, we're talking young farmers today. But firstly, you were
based up at Cattle Flat. How's everything.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's wet, very wet. It's been really windy the last
couple of weeks, got a few lands on the ground.
The main mobs have started to head out to the
back of a farm off into the hill country and
now it's gone pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It sounds as though you have had one of those
mornings though leading into the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
By the sounds of it, yeah, I have, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
A couple of breakouts trying to get us and lambs
out of mobs and everything. So yeah, it's been a
good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Not really, that's the way life goes. But anyway, the afternoon,
as we continue on and letting it get better. Look,
you talk about your feet, covers and the likes before
we talk young farmers. Are you coping up there all right?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah? No, no we are. We're coping. So no, it's good.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's the amazing thing.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Now, Bell for young farmers, that's all we here to
talk about, not about giving you a musical education, which
you're lacking obviously, Bell for young farmers.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
How's it been.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's been really good. No, everyone is great. We've got
quite a few events coming up. So there is the
if Young Farmer of the Year Districts is coming up
on the eighteenth of October. That's being really at YEP,
being held in Clinton. So any young farmer that wants
(02:01):
to crack, you know, learn some new skills or put
their knowledge and skills to the test, I definitely recommend
to register and give it a go.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Let's come around really fast.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I know, it feels like only the other day we
were at in finals.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Quite a few members from both attempted to get involved
after going down to the cargo and seeing what it's
all about.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm hoping so I know that there is a few
of us that have registered already, So yeah, kind of
trying to push it, away it to you know, get
them to give it a crack and maybe outside their
comfort zone away it. So it'll be really good to
see how many members we've got that have signed up
to give it a go.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's a big thing getting outside your comfort zone and
the same old edits. You may learn something if you're
not careful.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh exactly. I mean like from running running it last,
running districts last year to this year. It's kind of
I think it's given like a lot of people, like
a point of view of how it all goes, Like
definitely given me the linelight to be like, okay, like
I'm going to give it a crack this year as
soon as we helped out last year.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So it should be a good time, awesome And yeah,
we'll give a bit more of a lead into that
as the date comes to hand. What else has been
going on because it's lambing and carving. Have you guys
still been connecting on a regular basis?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeap, so we have. We had our meeting last Monday
and we've still been doing our Thursday Thursday every Thursday.
This tomorrow this week we're going to be at Lumpston Pubs.
If anyone wants to come heavy and get off farm,
come join us at Lumpson Pub on Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It sounds like there's a bit of a friendly rivalry
going by the socials between yourselves and way Tani is
to encroaching into the other's turf.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah. No, we've had a few white members come to
the meeting and just like a public announcement, we would
like our fine looks back. We'd appreciate that. But you know,
they had a meeting on Monday and a few of
us pop down to gove the meal and drink and
(04:13):
all that. So it's quite good, you know, when you
can join up with other clubs and everyone gets along.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So they got your fines book.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There's a fine for the person in charge of their
book alone.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, probably that was a big one too. That'll definitely
come up. He might be wearing the chicken suit next month.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Hey on chicken suit, what's this about?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So we have an inflatable chicken suit. And so what
happens at every meeting. Whoever's got a fine or anything,
it gets put in the book and then Jack the
sheriff and cat they choose the best fines and then
it goes to a vote to the club who's got
the worst fine and then we ever win has to
(04:55):
wear the chicken suit for the next month to any
young farmer's event.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Name and Shane, what was the reason for the fine
last month?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I can't actually say you can come on, No, I
literally can't. It's actually quite bad.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Is it illegal?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
