1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: With us now as Jamie mckaie, Host of the Country.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Hey Jamie, hello cousin here. They're good to have you back.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciated. What are we expecting from the GDT

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: auction tonight. Well, I've gone to my two go tos,

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Emma Higgins and Rado Bank Mike McIntire from Jardin. Look,

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the new season's kicking in. We're telling Emma told me

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: that there's going to be the volume of powders on

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: the platform steps up dramatically, so supply and demand you

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: would have to think it's going to fall, interestingly, and

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: there are predictions of a three or four percent drop tonight. Interestingly,

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the milk price futures have lifted from eight dollars twenty

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: one this is for this season, up to eight dollars

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: fifty two, and so that's off the back of a

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: softer key we dollar. So maybe a bit of short

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: term pain as is not unusual at this time of

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the year. But if we can hang in there and

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: get eight dollars fifty two, I think we would take that. Jamie.

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: I see the country's only organic chicken farm has been sold.

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Now that it's been sold, well it's well I'm assuming it. Well,

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: that's in fact I know it. Well, that's what it

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: attracted Inghams to buy it, The Chicken Giant. There's a

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: lovely story we side story to this one, Heather. You

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: might remember in October of last year and I looked

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: up my records because I spoke to one of the

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: boss Stock brothers, Ben. Now they're the only organic, free

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: range chicken meat producers in the country. Ben says they're

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: a small operation because they've only got a million birds.

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I guess everything's relative. But you might remember they enlisted

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the services of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to compose

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a chock symphony and support of ethical farming. Remember that story.

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's the same outfit. So yeah, they're sold

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: to Ingham's. They're very small. They actually look to expand

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the business themselves, but they couldn't get the capitol and

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: they couldn't keep up with demand. So I guess in

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: some ways they've taken the money and run and why

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: not cashing on all the hard work. The brothers are

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: going to remain involved in the business, Ben, or grow

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: all the organic maze for the chicken feed. Well, George

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: will remain involved in the actual chicken farming and Heather,

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: are we compliment from me to you? Good to hear

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: you channeling your Darryl Kerrigan from the Castle, tell on

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: their dream and with your interview with mister Olsen. So

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: well done. You are you a fan of that movie?

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: Are you? I love it. It's just what well made

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: on a shoes string budget. I made a fortune. It's
