Brent Irving is the head of Rabobank's Farm Ownership Options Strategy Team. He chatted to The Country's Jamie Mackay today from Wanaka.

Irving reckons now could be a good time to invest in the dairy industry before the market recovers.

He also has sage advice on whether you should go into business with your mates, or deal with like-minded people instead.

Brent also chats to Jamie about what's happening in the sheep, beef and deer property market.
