In light of the devastating flooding, we have to play nice today with the former MPfor West Coast Tasman.
The chair of Beef + Lamb NZ on why we’re importing beef from Australia, and we discuss yesterday’s submissions to Parliament’s Environment Select Committee on carbon farming.
Or is it that we are only one of two countries in the world that allow 100% offsetting for exotic plantations?
Todd Clark:
Kentucky-based US farming correspondent on record beef prices, record tariffs and record floods in Texas.
Mark de Lautour:
Open Country Dairy’s chief executive talks about “yellow gold” - butter and cheese - and whether Kiwis will get a better deal domestically when OCD opens its new butter factory.
We also look at tonight’s GDT and the milk price prospects for the 25/26 season.
