Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fieldays Day 2: Pāmu heading up wearables research on hill country - Mark Leslie
Q: How do you envision AI and data integration changing day-to-day farm management?
The key is connecting disparate data sources—wearables, sensors, and devices—into a single system that generates actionable insights for farm staff, while also supporting compliance and environmental goals.
Fieldays Day 2: Pāmu heading up wearables research on hill country - Mark Leslie
Q: What is the LIFT Programme and why is it important for hill country farming?
It is a coalition of sector-wide partners aimed at lifting productivity sustainably on hill country land through the use of wearables and real-world demonstrations on multiple farms around New Zealand, showing practical, tangible benefits.
Fieldays; Day 1 - NZ's first GEA DairyRobot system - Brett & Linda Coubrough
Q: What about the bank and financing?
Convincing the bank was tougher than expected, but the broader industry validation and the potential long-term benefits helped, and ultimately the investment made sense for a family-focused, long-term operation.
Fieldays; Day 1 - NZ's first GEA DairyRobot system - Brett & Linda Coubrough
Q: What made you consider the GEA Dairy Robot system for your operation?
We had looked at robots for years but couldn't justify it until we found that GEA offered better access to cows and a more practical integration with our shed, plus it addressed the main roadblocks we faced with other systems.
Fieldays Day 1: "Agriculture is a game of inches" - Rob Clayton
Q: Where do you want to take the company to? What's your overall goal when you sit back one day and go, oh yeah, I made a bit of a difference there?
Rob describes a vision of proliferating technology, maintaining Gallagher at the forefront of new tech and value creation, and expanding the reach of products like East Shepherd across global markets while ensuring ease of use for farmers.
