Chris Garland can't remember things being this good for sheep and beef farmers since 2011/12.

The Wairarapa-based farm consultant spoke to The Country's Jamie Mackay about how he thinks the planets are aligning for sheep and beef farmers with "phenomenal" results.

"Since January at least, it's been a dream run," and lamb prices have stayed up "which is almost unheard of," says Garland.

Also in today's interview: Chris Garland talks about the Tararua Farm Business of the Year field day on Friday.
