Recorded live from the grounds of Fieldays, hear from a panel featuring Gus Hewitt of Halter, Cheyne Gillooly of the NZ Young Farmers Association, and 2024 FMG Young Farmer of the Year George Dodson on the future of farming. With the average farmer in their mid-60s, meet the new demographic of globally connected, cautious early adopters. The panel breaks down how young farmers are embracing innovation, bypassing the traditional land ownership process, and building fast equity directly through business performance and private equity funds. With Halter’s solar-powered smart collars transforming herd management, we find out what it means to operate with fewer constraints, more data, and more flexibility. Our panelists explain the new possibilities to boost productivity per hectare even on marginal land, the growing role of solar energy on-farm, and how AI might soon become necessary to process the vast amounts of farm data being generated.

New Zealand's agricultural exports have hit a record high of just over 64 billion dollars in the year to June. 

It's not just traditional agriculture exports that are booming at the annual Fieldays expo at Mystery Creek this year. Agritech - from drones to virtual fencing - is also now starting to show huge growth and significant export potential for New Zealand. Business editor Corin Dann reports.

Is anyone else feeling for Chris Hipkins right now? He's having a terrible week, and it just looks bad. A large part of the blame has to rest with the people below him just not doing their job. First, the Superintendent Naidoo schemozzle. Notification of his intent to run for political office on a Thursday, just before it's announced the next Monday, was an organisational failure. The superintendent should've known the police manual better, and so should the backroom administrators of the Labour Party. Then, they released their public transport policy that everyone says is low on its costing. And then the spokesman, Tangi Utikere, was unable to name the projects in the National Land Transport Fund that would be defunded to make room for it. Making it seem like a good enough idea drawn up on the back of an envelope. Making it seem like no one has really done the backroom grunt work on the numbers. And it is a good idea for young people in towns and cities, but why on earth would you release it when the nation's attention is on Fieldays and the rural sector? It was plainly evident last night that the country folk have no desire to subsidise the city folks' transport. This was the week for a rural sector announcement, not an urban one. Labour's political management seems amateur. And then there's the festering accusation that Labour simply didn't set up a site at Fieldays. Which, if true, lies at the head of the organisational staff. That has been Labour's perennial problem. A handful of somewhat competent politicians without the backup of a competent party mechanism. It leads us all to the feeling that if they can't manage day-to-day business, how on earth could they run a country? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
