Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feature | Building a better battle plan for wilding pines

Feature | Building a better battle plan for wilding pines
Q: What is the timeline for developing the National Pest Management Plan?

Feature | Building a better battle plan for wilding pines
Q: What is the plan for long-term funding and who participates in the National Pest Management Plan?
The host asks about who contributes financially and which groups are benefactors or exacerbators, with emphasis on creating a fair cost-sharing mechanism and ensuring government representation where needed.
News Wrap | The rise and challenges of Rockit Apples
Q: What's the story behind Rockit's rapid growth and the current challenges facing growers?
The episode explains that Rockit expanded quickly, driving high volumes and requiring substantial upfront licenses, but as volumes surged, grower returns fell sharply due to lower per-tube prices and ongoing high costs, creating tension between premium branding and real profitability for growers.
Feature | Economic trends impacting NZ farmers
Q: How are things looking at the moment, both now and in the medium term?
Nick explains that while farm gate returns are strong, exchange rates and global demand continue to influence profitability. The currency remains in a range that supports export returns without making imports prohibitively expensive, and policy, climate risks, and technology will shape medium-term planning for farms.
