Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 40 ratings
  • Good but short

    Love the topics but not enough detail or depth to the content.

    Also working while I listen and the volume is really low and have given up on a few as I couldn’t make out what was said

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kent Bacus: American Beef
Q: For New Zealand sheep and beef farmers, is there any key thing you think they should be keeping an eye on in the US?
Bacus recommends watching consumer demand and the price point at which high beef prices may cause consumers to cut back. He says demand remains strong, while government announcements and possible market interventions create uncertainty for producers.
Kent Bacus: American Beef
Q: What do those developments mean for New Zealand's role as a beef supplier to the US?
Bacus says New Zealand is an important, trusted trade partner whose consistent standards and transparent practices support US beef consumer confidence. Its lean beef is particularly useful for blending with domestic trimmings to meet ground-beef demand.
Kellogg Conversations: Triplets
Q: What are your next steps after completing the programme?
Continue building professional relationships, ensure future engagements align with my core values of honesty, joy, and achievement, and promote the idea of a national lamb survivability benchmark to help align farmers and raise standards.
Kellogg Conversations: Triplets
Q: What was your project about and what were the key findings?
My project analyzed triplet lamb survivability, looking at current practices, farmer perceptions, and opportunities; it found that indoor lambing and artificial rearing can boost survival, that gardeners' mental health is affected by lower survivability, and that many farmers are interested in adopting these practices.
Kellogg Conversations: Triplets
Q: What motivated you to apply for the Rural Advancement Scholarship and Kellogg Programme?
I wanted more than just farm work; I wanted to connect with other farmers across the country, gain leadership skills, and explore how I could contribute to the wider agricultural sector, especially after seeing a crop of opportunities through the Kellogg programme.
