Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Muster- Veronica Oostveen
Q: Why is now a good time to do the house checks on farms?
Because June is traditionally house check month and it's important to assess how the heating, wood storage, and safety systems are set up before peak winter usage, and to demonstrate proper processes to tenants or team members.
The Muster Full Show: 01/07/26
Q: How is the winter grazing season shaping farm readiness and planning?
Farmers are advised to have contingency plans, adjust grazing to drier paddocks, use standoff facilities where possible, and consider carving pads to reduce mud and improve efficiency; this aligns with Dairy NZ guidance on maintaining cow condition through winter.
The Muster Full Show: 01/07/26
Q: What are the current venison and lamb price signals, and what's driving them?
Venison contracts remain strong with some sales around $11-$12, driven by a tighter supply curve, but the volume of animals at price peaks is limited, so the market is steady rather than explosive. Lamb prices are high with a similar supply dynamic, suggesting cautious optimism for the August period.
The Muster Full Show: 06/07/26
Q: Eric, what do you make of these political polls and the fatigue around elections?
Eric Roy notes uncertainty about poll accuracy, consumer engagement, and the importance of considering how policies will play out in practice, while emphasizing the need for practical policy that supports farming interests.
The Muster Full Show: 04/07/26
Q: What was your point of difference for winning the award?
The Roberts credit their success to a strong personal partnership and a sustainable business model, emphasizing complementary strengths and a clear pathway that supports community and succession planning, which impressed judges.
