The Country: The positive outlook for the dairy and horticulture sectors had kept overall confidence in the agricultural economy relatively high says Rabobank's New Zealand general manager for Country Banking Hayley Moynihan.
Rabobank's General Manager for Country Banking, Hayley Moynihan talks to The Country's Jamie Mackay about Rabobank's latest farmer confidence survey.
In a nutshell, dairy farmers are confident, sheep farmers aren't and horticulture is happy thank you very much.
Moynihan says it's not so simple as all that though as thedecline in sheep and beef farmer confidence has brought down the overall score.
Is the $6 payout the only reason for dairy farmer optimism? Again, it's not that staightforward according to Moynihan who takes us through the nuances of confidence for this industry as well as horticulture.
