1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Those who tackled the Summer challenge out at the lakes 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: the weekend just being will be glad it was then 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: and not now. We're going to celebrate that with I 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: was breaking before eight but out to Hines with coal 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: groves and before we tackle some farm chat. I guess 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: on that with all of the sporty stuff that's going on, 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: see that Coast to coast is back from tomorrow. You 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: having another crack at this. 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: No. I did two years in a row and then 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: I thought, have this year off and have a summer 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: with the kids. And what's happened. We haven't had a 12 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: summer at all. 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: So you're the problem. 14 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I had mess And I was coming through 15 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: St Foot and yesterday on the way home at four 16 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: o'clock and there's kayaks and cars with kayaks and bikes 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: and I just had messive fomo but probably not the 18 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: foma of training. But yeah, I might consider re entering 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: next week when the ballots open again. 20 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: On that point, it's one I tried to make with 21 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Duncan Barr of the Rescue Warriors who are cycling the 22 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: lengths of the country at the moment. The sacrifice that's 23 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: required for training for an event like this, so you 24 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: give up a lot to make it happen. A yeah, 25 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: you do. 26 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: I think you know you're training if you wanted to 27 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: give it a decent nudge and not blow up like 28 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: I didn't wanted to blow up weaver. But you're still 29 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen hours a week of training one day 30 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: and two day if you want to really give it 31 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: a good shot. So if you try and at a 32 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: full time job, kids, wife, in the farming, it's not 33 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: easy to try and fit it all in. And that's 34 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: probably I burnt myself out last year a week but 35 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: doing it, so I thought I have this year off. 36 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, it is. You know those guys that are 37 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: at least they're doing twenty five to ten hours a 38 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: week and that's their job is to try and win that. 39 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: There's not much prize money in it, but it's quite 40 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: a cool thing to take off anyway. No matter what 41 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: stage in life, will fitness you. 42 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: Are sweeting just thinking about it. Well, good luck to 43 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: all our locals heaven a crowd. Hey on Van, So 44 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: your dairy prices are up? Grass is green? Have you 45 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: ever had it so good? 46 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, that's pretty good. I think we forget the 47 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: COVID years a week it and low interest rates made 48 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: a mess of difference. Now infrastrates on a lot higher 49 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: or they come instead of coming up and down. But 50 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: those COVID times we still had decent payouts and low 51 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: in straights and they are probably the best money making 52 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: years with her. Yeah, right, costs are still quite high, 53 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: like fertilizer's still really high. And I know that the 54 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: arable sector is really struggling lot without a good summer 55 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: in the hail, in prices of and eventhing like that, 56 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: they are really struggling and that's the probably the hard 57 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: part for the industry at the moment. 58 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: You well, one concern is that they could be a 59 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: shortage of stop feed into winter because of that. Is 60 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: that something you're having to manage. 61 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: Unlucky, I leased the farm down on Bocano, so I'm 62 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: fully self contained and so if you attacking on graziers 63 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: down there, but it is a big concern and I'll 64 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: just chuck my other head on them. Near to you 65 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: of mckennary real support trust. So if people fishing the cropping, 66 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: if they have arable seat, they have got concerns of 67 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: going forward and they please get hold of us so 68 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: we can just get a Chaley because the problem with 69 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: that hailstorm was hailstorm sorry, was though isolated, so one 70 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: you know, like a k down the road got handed 71 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: and the k up the road didn't get touched. And 72 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: so we just need to figure out exactly who's in 73 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: a bit of pain and we can help them out 74 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: and put them in the right direction. But yeah, I 75 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: think you know, I've heard of people losing one hundred 76 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: eath he's a barley straight, and that's half a million 77 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 2: dollars with of income. And you've already spent all the cots. 78 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: So we spent all that money to grow the grain. Sorry, 79 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: and it's done. And it's actually in five or six 80 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: months when you'll be selling the grain back into the 81 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: dairy sector that you're not getting that income. Yeah, and 82 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: it's a it's real hard mentally too. And you've done 83 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: that work and ten minutes of hail destroys you half 84 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: a million dollars with income.
