Speaker 1: was chatting to Emma Poul and Katie mel Now Katie

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: was the first female president of Federated Farmers. Emma was

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the first female New Zealand Young Farmer of the Year.

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: And Emma had found this amazing quote and I thought

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: you would quite like this. It was a super old

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: magazine and it said women that can cut the throat

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: of sheep and lift heavy loads will not make good

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: future mothers of the children of our nation. And she said,

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, dan's what women were up agains back in

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: no place for them on farm. Their places at home

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: raising the children, and says, look here I am. Here's Katie.

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Many many years later cutting throats lifting heavy loads and

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: giving motherhood a damn good crack. And I just think

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: they are amazing role models for anyone wanting to get

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,640
