And this 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: comes from a big sample size too, Jack, I think 45 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 3: more than a thousand farmers came forward to share their frustration. 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: So in total, forty percent of farmers either find that 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 3: their debt structure is inefficient or aren't receiving enough information 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: from their banks to improve one of the real grips. 49 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: And I think this is a very fair gripe on 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: behalf of farmers and no doubt small business owners the 51 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: pressure farmers fail to use overdrafts to manage debt repayments 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: or fund capital projects tasks. Overdrafts were never intended for 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 3: overdrafts to design for managing seasonal cash flow, not to 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: burden farmers with higher interest debt. You know, many of 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: these farmers have stuck in overdraft facilities that never returned 56 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: to a positive balance. Obviously, you know, in a dairy 57 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: farming situation or something, Jack, you might want to be 58 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: an overdraft for four or five months of the year max. 59 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 3: So anyhow, overdrafts, say Federated farmers. Rich mcintires leading the 60 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: charts for them should be a tall not a trap 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: because those overdraft rates Jack are very very high eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: fifteen percent. 63 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: And Jamie, the Central North Island dairy company Meaducker has 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: updated its milk price forecast. 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's reporting season for the dairy company's Jack. 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: We've heard from recently in the past week from Fonterra 67 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: and similar it's the turn of Meeraca, which is a 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 3: very efficient little operation based out of Talpo. They've come 69 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: out with their forecast milk price for the season or 70 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: in at the moment twenty four to twenty five nine 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: dollars seventeen. Fonterra is currently sitting at nine dollars and 72 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: they finished last season twenty three twenty four at eight 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: bucks on the knows, so that was a way bit 74 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: better than Fonterra's seven dollars eighty three. So, you know, look, 75 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: challenging weather, but good times for the dairy industry. 76 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Very good.
