Take your own chair: Hinehou Timutimu on leadership and possibility | Ep. 128
Q: Tell us about the moment you were named the 2026 Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Year.

Unlock the full potential of your calves | Ep. 126
Q: Cam, you've recently made a change to the way you rear your calves. What prompted that change?
We shifted from a traditional twice-daily cannery system with early weaning to an AdLib feeding approach to gain weight faster, reduce labour, and improve overall calf performance.
In 10: What’s next for you on farm and what’s stopping you?
Q: For listeners who can't attend the expo, what concrete steps can they take to apply these ideas at home?
Focus on defining personal success, set clear, specific goals, and use simple reflection questions daily to align actions with values and next steps.
In 10: How to plan for winter and stay on track when pressure hits
Q: Great, now, so for farmers looking ahead to winter right now, what are the big things worth sorting early to set the season up well?
The major steps are to develop and polish a winter grazing plan that outlines what practices will be used and under what conditions, plus ensuring staff know where to find it and how to act when weather turns; you also need practical infrastructure and a plan B to keep cows and paddocks safe.
Finding opportunities with dairy beef | Ep. 125
Q: What makes this program different from previous dairy beef initiatives?
The program emphasizes collaboration across the sector to achieve scale, aligns with a clear time frame, and integrates genetics, systems, and a value-chain approach to deliver tangible outcomes for farmers and the industry.
