1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: High High High to our local Federated Farmer's President David

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Ecklunds morning lo after sticking some cardboard eyes on our

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: salmon earlier this week, Greenpeace wanted to make a point

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: that it's our dairy farmers that have caused dwindling numbers

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: in the river. We heard from Chris Agnew a few

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: days back, what's your take.

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a pretty complex this year, isn't it? And

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't I think I said on the paper the

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: other day. It's not just there's multiple, multiple reasons for

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: the reduction and salmon and the river to flam it

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: on to make political points both picking on one one

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: one business or one sector is pretty simple messaging, isn't it.

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: I read a bit of money.

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: I was reading somewhere that in the late nineties fishing

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: game would count around twenty thousand salmon in the river.

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: The latest count was barely over six hundred. Do you

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: reckon it's that bad?

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: I really don't know. It probably is. They do do good.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: You know, the constant counts, And it's interesting, isn't it

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: to think about what's happened over that period of time,

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: whether it's the yeah, tangent world population and pretty sure

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: right across the globe. So it's not I would say

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: it's very difficult to pendel on one one thing. But

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: that's yeah, it's interesting as a question that needs to

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: be explored, doesn't that for multiple reasons.

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: But well, even though we don't like how they've gone

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: about it, you can't fault the fact that they've managed

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: to spirit a bit of conversation the headlines this week.

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Moving on from that because I don't want anybody else

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: getting ideas to do something similar. The good news for

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: deary yesterday the global dairy trade events rose again. That's

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: solid growth for every auction already this year when we're

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: going to see those forecast farm gates prices rise, Yeah,

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: It'd happy be a one or two more increase. I

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: suppose the banks. I think some of the banks refecast,

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: but I was quite happy it's going up because it

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: was before Christmas when it was going down it wasn't

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: much fun too right, nice and steady would doesn't it?

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Where it sits at the moment, that's it's still very

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: very good for the community. So I think mc cannery

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: is pretty lucky, aren't we? With the cross sector that

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: we have in this in this province and hopefully now

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: we'll get a great runner weather for the for the

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: arable guys trying at some of his harvest.

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: The buddy, we're owed it, absolutely, but you did. The

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: whole country can be thankful for the lakes of dairy

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: and and and all farming and of Britan. Yesterday when

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: keeping the o CRT two point twenty five percent said

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: it's not going to be property prices that's saving grace

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: this year. Is it's going to be the rule sector.

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: We already knew that.

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that. It's just we need need you know,

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: the Metropolitan Auckland to understand that one.

55
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,080

Speaker 2: we're a little bit soggy for the last couple of weeks.

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: That's sort of ground to a halt, But it's just

61
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: that time of year for us when we're a bit

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: of maintenance going on and drafting lambs and shearing sheep

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: and and that side of things. Yeah, we're just hopefully

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: when you get away bit of summer to enjoy through February.

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: What's left to February to right?
