Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's Farmer Panel features the twenty twenty two and twenty
twenty three Young Farmers of the Year, respectively, brother and
sister Tim dangein twenty two Emma Paul twenty three. I'll
start with you, Tim. Great to see you at the
Morning Side Tavern in Auckland on Tuesday for the Auckland
launch of the Farmer's Poor Bear and the Farmers Cut Chips,
(00:21):
and along with Teradar, it was a bit of a
young Farmer's benefit day you both legitimately too. I might
add Tim one prize packs well worth coming.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here you good Ajmien, Happy Friday. It was well worth
coming mate. You're keeping my fridge stock, which is awesome,
and it was a neat evening and great to celebrate
the thirty years that you've been celebrating all years, so
it's neat to see.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's a bit like a royal tour. It just goes
on and on and on, doesn't it. Eventually I guess
we'll run out of Bear and Chips, although we're not
actually because we've just finished with the Farmers Poor Tim
and we're on to the Mackaiser. But more about that later, Emma.
I want to go to you. You made an interesting
comment to me earlier this morning. You're talking about the
speaking engagements that you've been doing in the past couple
(01:07):
of years, effectively as the Young Farmer of the Year.
Of course you broke the grass ceiling, first female winner.
You've been talking to a lot of audiences. But you're saying,
I guess recognition and understanding of young farmers is almost
better in the young older generation because they grew up
with it on television.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah that's right, Jamie. Good afternoon, and good to be here.
And yeah, it's been busy two years since winning winning
that title. And I guess what I've noticed, it's sort
of been twenty plus speaking engagements around the country and
talking to various groups and mixed populations of old and
young and rural and urban people. And I always ask
for a show of hands at the start of these
(01:46):
speaking things and say, you know, who's heard of Young Farmers?
And like you said, is a direct correlation between age
and who's heard of it, And the older you are,
the more you tend to have heard of it. And
that seems to be directly because it was on the
Telly Jamie. So it's a great fond memory of many
of those people that did watch it on the telly,
and it's such a shame that it's no longer televised.
(02:06):
And I know we bang on about this all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But mister Luxon did promise.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Me that he would get it back on the telly
if he made Prime Minister. So I'd like you to
hold him to account for the next Well, well.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I will, because I love bandwagons and I've had a
few over my thirty years in this job. I wanted
to bring back rucking and Rugby failed miserably there, bring
back milkine schools. I sort of succeeded there and then
it's fallen off again. But when it comes to the
Young Farmer Grand Final, I think mainstream media, whatever that
is these days, needs to be covering it because a
(02:38):
bit like Country Calendar, if you put it on at
the right time, it will rate it socks off totally.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'm all funny just mentioned Country Calendar there, because they
did actually reach out and get in touch before the
Grand Final and they were sort of more interested in
how many trees I was planting on farm rather than
actually what the story was behind the Young Farmers and
engaging with it. There. So it's a bit of a
shame that the story never came to front with because
they would do a really great job of showcasing it,
and they've shown glimpse of it in the past, so
(03:05):
it'd be neat to see a whole episode dedicated to
the Grand Final in the Journey of the Young Farmers
that go through on that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Absolutely, perhaps you're not woken up for Country Calendar. I
shouldn't say that, because they've had some really good episodes recently, right, Okay,
So Tim, when you're not in drinking beer and eating
chips in Auckland, you've got a farm out West Auckland
Way Mirrawai, the beef farm. We know parts of the
North Island, in fact parts of the country is starting
to get a bit dry. How are you fearing here?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We were getting really dry about a week ago, but
then we caught that sort of fifty mils over Friday Saturday, Jamien.
We've had some good follow up rains since, so it's
keep everything nice and fresh. And yes, it's a good season. Really,
we normally take any rain we can get from here
on out, so it's kepting off for good. Twelve months
of seasonal farming when.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You're not a former Young Farmer of the Year, a
mother of two. I think now a vet you're also
a white caddow dairy farm. I've got a message from
a Hieraki Plane's dairy farmer this morning saying they're starting
to get rather dry. What about you, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No, we're sharing well as well, Jamie. We caught one
hundred meals in that last down when we've had a
couple of ten mil follow ups, so there is silence
for Africa dropping around the place, which is really neat
to see because of course that extends into the real
contracting businesses and keeps ever on a float. So yeah,
keep the rain coming, I say, because it's been awesome
so far.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And while Tim's doing okay with his beef good prices,
especially into the US market, Emma, you're probably doing better
with your milk. Westpac have now lifted their forecast milk
price to ten bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Isn't that a great story, Jamie. I had a VET
friend comment the other day that they had a couple
of farmers stopping into the VAT clinic on their way
to look at boats. So it's a good sign that
things are on the turn, and maybe not quite purchasing
boat territory, but things are certainly looking up well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
If you want to purchase a boat or won a boat,
maybe Tim Dangel, you could enter the Young Farmer of
the Year contest because there's great prizes there.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, there's fantastic prizes available, Jamie. So we've got our
regional finals coming up early next year. It's about seven
k up for grabs for first place there, but obviously
if you make it through to the big Cheese Green
final then yeah, the prize pool there's over one hundred k.
And I'm sure I'm with them the test, the amazing prizes,
and I certainly feel very fortunate every day when I
get to jump on my brand new Honda side by
(05:28):
side and skirt around the farm. It's been an awesome
leg up and here it's very grateful for it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
All right, Controversy time sort of. This is not on
the script for YouTube, so don't tak for cover here.
I was getting stuck in a wee bit talking about
Westpac doing a great job getting that milk forecast price up,
but they're also setting emissions targets as a number of
the banks. I think the banks should be butting out
and As I said earlier in the show, what next
(05:54):
do your local regional councils start setting emissions targets? Do
your rural supply firms PGG rights and farmlands start setting them?
Where do we draw the line, Emma?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I don't know where to draw the line, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But we've certainly got it coming from all directions, don't we.
And if we're paying for it in one place, what's
the sense and paying for it in another? I think
so maybe we can just we need to step back
and look at it as an industry and just regulate
it from one place, rather than confusing farmers with all
of these different targets and you know, shifting the golf
post every two minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, Tim, I reckon the bank should butt out? What
about you?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah? I agree mate, And it's an interesting to see
how they've come into this space. I heard a lot
of talk about it over the last couple of years
when I was hitting around listening at conferences and things
like that off the back of young farmers. But I
think it's, yeah, it's too much meddling. Really. I've always
been a big believer that I want to see market
driven incentives that our processes will be able to pass
(06:49):
on to us. But yeah, I think they're sort of
getting a bit too involved.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, the market will always rull Roddio guys, thank you
very much for your time. Enjoy the rest of your Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Thanks Jamie.
