Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show | September 25
Q: What does the latest Beef and Lamb New Zealand report imply for the new season regarding lamb supply and prices?
The report suggests a much lower lamb crop than previously expected, which could tighten supply and sustain relatively strong export prices, though some softness may appear as the season progresses and higher costs bite, requiring adjustments in breeding and finishing strategies.
Full Show | October 2
Q: Why does that necessitate the need to change the Act?
The current Act doesn't accommodate contract milking, which pays a fixed rate rather than a percentage, leaving both contract milkers and share farmers—along with farm owners—without appropriate regulatory coverage or protections.
Feds Focus | Farm drainage regulations be damned
Q: What practical steps could be taken to make drain maintenance more manageable for farmers under current rules?
The guest explains that establishing clear permitted activities and guidelines would let farmers perform needed maintenance without navigating expensive and time-consuming consent processes, while still protecting waterway integrity.
Full Show | September 18
Q: Hello Cam. How's it going? Can you explain why the US 10-year bond just tipped over 5% and why that matters for New Zealand markets?
The move reflects a shift from the Great Moderation to a Great Transition, with inflation staying higher and central banks needing to normalize rates. Longer-term yields rise as investors demand higher compensation for future inflation and debt, and this global ripple affects New Zealand via capital costs, valuations, and the cost of government borrowing.
Feds Focus | Farmer confidence slides despite high returns
Q: G'day Colin, how's it going?
Colin responds that they're catching up and provides a briefing on the rural confidence survey and the outlook, emphasizing ongoing concerns around regulation and costs.
