1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: It's the nuts, Hayden, your metro, Heather, it's the nuts.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: The bolt would be cast into the concrete. You're right,

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Hither it's a high probability that they use cast in

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: bolts and only the nuts were removed. So there we go.

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: How about me, lady splain and that engineer into year

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: bang on.

12
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,560

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,520

Speaker 1: and your side of the family has.

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,240

Speaker 2: of ice on baby names as like it's just it's

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: it's something you just can't want, isn't it. Well that's

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: a bit well, I guess it's please head of the blows.

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: You're raining the blows down upon me From a poor

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: southern semi farmer, I'm not really a farmer. I'm I'm

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: a I'm a I'm a George Street farmer. But I've

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: got a dairy farm meeting by zoom later on tonight.

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to ponder how we can survive

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: the mud and the mare and the swamp and the

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: paddy paddy rice fields that is Southland at the moment.

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: From trying to change the subject, don't you, I just

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: want to say, yeah, can I just apologize quickly for

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: all of those sound defects. It's not me, it's producer

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: and he's found the button and loves it. Carry on, Jamie.

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Well, apart from the weather down south, it's been a

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: good week for farmers here that I know. You just

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: talked to Todd McClay about the f t A with

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: the u A that that's a good deal. It's a

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: good I mean it's a bit of a one sided

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: trade deal. I think we do one point three billion

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 2: with them. They do something like one hundred and fifty

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: million or something, or yeah, one hundred and fifty million

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: with US. It's a good look. That's a really good

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: deal for us. I think the big story is and

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: I know you covered this one yesterday as well as

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: the Fonterra announcement, and I will temper that or qualify

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: it by saying I got my air chewed today by

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: a grumpy west Otago dairy farmer. I think in her

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: case it was just because it had been raining for

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: a month solid. But she said to me, stop talking

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: up the dairy price at nine dollars. Everyone's going to

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: be trying ripping off farmers and selling them stuff they

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: can't afford. And I said, look, that is a good

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: news story. But I did some sums just for you, Heather,

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: if you'd bought it, If you were a Fonterra farmer,

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: and you'd bought a Fonterra share, because to supply Fonterira,

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: to supply Fonterra, you need to have shares to equal

57
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: your production. You could have bought a share in early

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: February for two dollars and twelve cents with your final

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: divid announced Yes, at fifty five cents. That is a

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: yield on your share of twenty six percent. Try and

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: get that anywhere else in business even now. The shares

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: have jumped from jump thirty cents in the course of

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: this week since Myles Hurrald, a six million dollar man,

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: made the announcement on yesterday, They've gone from three fifty

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: to three eighty. It's still a fifteen percent yield, not

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: to be sniffed at at all. And one more to

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: ponder here. Today I had Mark Delator, chief executive of

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Open Country Dairy, the second biggest player in the dairy

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: game behind Fonterra, and he was saying, if the government

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: doesn't have any hope at all of doubling export income

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: in the next decade, they're going to have to ramp

72
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: up dairy production. How do you do it? He's suggesting

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: dairy conversions back on the table. Can you believe that?

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Jamie wa a blast from the past. Hey,

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: thank you appreciate it. Jamie McKay host to the Country.
