Market Insights | Record returns for red meat exports

Feature | Red meat sector looks to increase value
9:46 – Meat Industry Association independent chair Nathan Guy joins the show to wrap up the Red Meat Sector Conference. He chats about the plan to break down non-tariff barriers, the new strategy to extract more value from our red meat sector, and discusses our over-capacity issue.

Feds Focus | Advocating for the dairy sector
22:33 – Federated Farmers South Canterbury dairy chair and Feds Dairy Advocate of the Year Jimmy Emmett joins the show to talk about his unique journey to the dairy farm. Jimmy ran a bar in Christchurch for a number of years but took a punt on dairying about 16 years ago. He says there are some similarities between managing drinkers and managing dairy cows. 

The Final Word
31:23 – A recent viral post from Tim Deane asked why our national rugby team was selling synthetic beanies to fans. Perhaps it’s time for the All Blacks to get behind our fantastic wool fibre and help promote its qualities of strength and resilience.
