Speaking of the bad weather, it brings me to the emergency mobile alerts. The emergency mobile alerts came about because Fire and Emergency and the National Emergency Management Agency and other agencies including New Zealand Police, Ministry of Primary Industries and Ministry of Health use emergency mobile alerts to alert people if their lives, property or health are at serious risk. I'm pretty sure they came about during Covid, I can't recall them before then you might, but I think it was pretty much a Covid response and that's continued to include any other times where lives, property or health are at serious risk. Over the past week. Aucklander's have received about four or five emergency alerts on their phones, and I'll tell you what, they give you an absolute conniption when they start screeching. You know it takes you right back, the adrenaline surges through, you think, fight or flight ... okay there's bad weather coming. Well, yes, a cyclone had been forecast to be arriving over the North Island. So, you would imagine with a tropical cyclone bad weather comes - thunderstorms, the potential for flooding. And then the next lot of emergency alerts came to warn of the potentials of dangerous gases as a result of a recycling plant in a suburb of Auckland going up in flames and once that fire started, many, many suburbs around the fire were advised to stay inside and then another alert gave the all clear sometime later. I do understand that Civil Defence is damned if they do and damned if they don't. Some Aucklander's were asking why they weren't warned about the severe thunderstorms and deluges on the Friday night of Easter weekend. But surely, we all knew that a cyclone was sitting over the North Island, and cyclones bring rain and thunderstorms. But there was criticism because they hadn't been warned, so therefore we got warnings up the Ying Yang in response. Meteorologists defended themselves, saying well, thunderstorms are notoriously difficult to predict, and weather is notoriously difficult to predict. We saw that with Gabrielle as well. In February 2023, the Esk River in Hawkes Bay burst its banks and flooded the entire valley. Hundreds of Hawkes Bay residents woke in the middle of a nightmare, with water surging through their homes, and there was no alert, no warning, they hadn't been evacuated from the area, and yet the cyclone had been predicted. Schools had been closed in Hamilton and Tauranga and those areas were unaffected but Hawkes Bay was absolutely hammered. It's an imperfect science, an imprecise and inexact science. Are we depending far too much on meteorologists who can give you a broad spectrum? - we can expect thunderstorms, we can expect electric storms, we can expect heavy rain over the next week, we can't tell you that it's going to arrive at your house at this time, so be prepared. And I wonder if too many people are expecting that from authorities and from decision makers. We've become very used to having people tell us what we should do, how we should do it, to keep ourselves safe. I'm not entirely sure you can do that with weather. It is unpredictable. It changes. Meteorologists will tell you that they can really only give you a broad spectrum. And if you're depending on government agencies to tell you what to do and where to go and how you should cope, I think that way lies disaster, really. Because you'll think, well, I haven't had a warning, so I should be fine. People will let me know if I'm in danger and you start to lose your Spidey instinct, you start to lose your Spidey senses. Too many alerts are going to mean that people will just switch off. They'll either switch off their phones and say I'm not going to have my heart racing and my pulse racing and the adrenaline surging through me for a fire that's happening ten suburbs over that really doesn't affect me. If we start to switch off, then again, emergency services will be blamed because they sent out too many. I suppose it's helpful having someone to blame other than God and the weather? But when did weather become such a big deal that it dominates the news. Meteorologists are becoming the new public health officials. And when did we stop using our common sense and relying on government agencies to tell us what to do in weather. Do you need to know through your emergency mobile alerts, what is happening? Does that give you the opportunity to take precautions? What purpose does the agency serve? I'd really love to hear your thoughts on this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farmers are hitting back at the New South Wales Upper House Committee probe into the flow on effects of the phase out of the live sheep trade. The inquiry heard from both the New South Wales Farmers Association and The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. It's made on recommendation -- that the department monitor the state's industry over the course of the phase out, until May 2028 when the ban is enforced. Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Association President Xavier Martin about the inquiry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vegalogue is a regular podcast from vegetable, potato and onion industry peak body AUSVEG, where we examine the pressing issues and latest developments in our sector.The deep, sandy soils of Western Australia's Swan Coastal Plain are among the most infertile in the world.They're also where many of the state's vegetables are produced, however, and growers have long struggled with the low ability of these soils to retain nutrients or moisture.More than 60 percent of irrigation water and nitrogen fertiliser applied to vegetables on the sandy soils of the Swan Coastal Plain leach past the rootzone. The story's not much better for phosphorus or potassium.Against that backdrop, input costs continue to grow, water allocations tighten, and concerns about fertiliser runoff into waterways and wetlands increase.In an effort to address this problem, WA's Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has launched a new levy-funded project to develop a system for capturing leached nutrients and irrigation water from below the crop's root zone, and recycling this water back onto crops as irrigation.The project, which runs until February 2030, will investigate the use of geomembranes installed below the root zone of crops to collect leachate and divert it into dams for reuse.We had a chat with DPIRD research scientist Dr Valeria Almeida Lima about the project, and how this new system might work.Learn more about the project discussed in this episode: Evaluating on farm water and nutrient recapture in Western Australia production systems You can also contact Dr Lima at Valeria.AlmeidaLima@dpird.wa.gov.au.Thanks for listening to Vegalogue!

The ministry for Primary Industries has launched an investigation after a number of meals served to children by the School Lunch Collective were found to have their plastic packaging melted into their food. This would be the fourth investigation launched into the collective after the government introduced the Alternative Provision Model for Ka Ora Ka Ako, replacing local suppliers. Around this same period of time, a consultation document was sent to schools across the motu by education minister Erica Stanford asking for feedback on a proposal to defund and disestablish 174 full time roles for Resource Teachers of Literacy and Resource Teachers of Māori. And the Greens recently issued a call to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon calling on him to rule out any possibility of joining the AUKUS military pact, following the contentious bilateral meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Whitehouse last week. For their weekly catch up, Oto spoke to the Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March for the Green Party's take on all of these issues.

Too hot, too dry, too wet - seasonal conditions can be challenging to manage for those on the land. Forecasting for the season ahead can be difficult but is important when planning what you will do now or in the coming months. The NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's Climate team have some excellent freely available resources including a recently released Drought Forecasting tool. Kel Langfield and Jen Wurtzel from the team step us through these tools and how they can be used by farmers and their advisors. Please use the links in the show notes to access these tools and other information, noting that the State Seasonal Update report is released at the beginning of the month and the drought forecast maps are updated twice a month.Email the team: seasonal.conditions@dpird.nsw.gov.au  DPIRD Climate webpageState Seasonal Update  Drought forecastCombined Drought IndicatorFarm Tracker AppMy Farm DashboardSurvey - Have Your SaySeasonal Conditions Information PortalClimate DogsBoM OutlooksClimate Forecasts and MonitoringSeasonal Climate Forecasts in Australian Agriculture Case StudiesDrought Hub   LLSThis podcast is an initiative of the NSW DPI Dairy Business Advisory Unit – further information and resources are available here - Dairy | Department of Primary IndustriesIt is brought to you in partnership the Hunter Local Land ServicesPlease share this podcast with your fellow farmers and colleagues and feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments via this email address thebusinessofdairy@gmail.comFurther NSW DPI Dairy channels to follow and subscribe to include:NSW DPI Dairy Facebook pageDPI Intensive Livestock Twitter feedNSW DPI Dairy NewsletterTranscript hereProduced by Video LiftThe information discussed in this podcast are for informative and educational purposes only and do not constitute advice. 

Vegalogue is a regular podcast from vegetable, potato and onion industry peak body AUSVEG, where we examine the pressing issues and latest developments in our sector.Historically, Australian producers have been rapid adopters of new technology and innovation, and the current generation is no different. Growers are looking to new agricultural technologies, or agtech for short, to help them confront the pressure from climate change, labour shortages, rising input costs and changing market demands.The technologies being explored read like a list of TED Talks keywords; artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, drones, big data, the internet of things…Understanding, sourcing and trialling these new technologies can be time consuming and costly, however, so in 2024 Hort Innovation launched a $4.1 million levy-funded project to help Australian vegetable growers adopt advanced mechanisation technology.Run by the Queensland Department of Primary Industries over three years, the project will deliver field days, showcase events, demonstrations, international study tours, webinars and more to help growers engage directly with the latest equipment and manufacturers.In October 2024, the project took a group of 16 vegetable growers on a study tour to the US, where they attended the FIRA-USA International Forum for Agricultural Robotics in California.One of those growers was Dan Hodges from Peninsula Fresh Organics in Victoria. Dan's an enthusiastic adopter of new tech on the grower's two properties on the Mornington Peninsula, and we spoke to him about the promising agtech he saw in the US, and the potential for applying in Australia.Learn more about the project discussed in this episode: Advanced vegetable mechanisation program to maximise labour and cost efficiency (VG23003)Thanks for listening to Vegalogue!

A primary sector advocacy group says a review of new plant and animal products is critically important for New Zealand farmers. A backlog of more than 100 applications are awaiting approval, and it could take up to four years to clear the queue. Now, a dozen primary sector businesses and groups are calling for swift action to clear the backlog. Animal and Plant Health New Zealand Chief Executive Liz Shackleton told Mike Hosking the Government has one chance to get it right. She says it's a chance for the Prime Minister to put his growth agenda into action. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Australian Pesticides and Regulatory Medicines Authority has delayed its decision on the future of paraquat and diquat for at least seven months, while vineyards did reshoot after severe frost events in the Riverland, wine grape growers are expecting a significant lower vintage and Primary Industries minister Clare Scriven reflects on 2024

New Zealand's primary sector export revenue is expected to jump by 7 percent to $56.9 billion in the June 2025 year after contracting in 2024, the Ministry for Primary Industries says. MPI, in its Situation and Outlook for Primary Industries report, also expects that growth to be sustained, with revenue forecast to hit $58.3b in the June 2026 year. The Country's Jamie Mackay explains further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's optimism from the Agriculture and Forestry Minister on the future of food and fibre exports. The Ministry for Primary Industries projects exports will reach just under $57 billion by June, and over $58 billion the following year. Horticulture exports are expected to rise 12%, with dairy forecast to grow by 10%. Minister Todd McClay told Heather du Plessis-Allan he sees a positive future with China. He says its market will be a key reason why dairy exports are forecast to increase. Meat and wool revenues are also expected to rise slightly to $11.4 billion as demand strengthens. McClay told du Plessis-Allan that wool's commodity price is starting to increase and there's new users. He says the Indian Parliament only has New Zealand wool in its buildings, which shows there's a good role for wool but there's a lot of work to do.

Although the result is welcome news, MPI said 'it's very early days' due to the viruses long incubation period and they're still not confident the virus hasn't spread to other farms. Meanwhile, a deal has been struck with Australia to restart the export of some chicken products although the final details are yet to be ironed out. Ministry for Primary Industries chief veterinary officer Dr Mary Van Andel explained to Susana Lei'ataua how long they will need to carry out tests in the area.

A leading virologist said she won't be surprised if the Otago bird flu virus continues to spread to other farms in the way it did in the devastating outbreak in the Australian state of Victoria. A second farm is now under investigation for potential bird flu, with the Ministry for Primary Industries today confirming this is not part of the initial six farms that were identified as being at risk of infection. Delphine Herbert has more.

The Ministry for Primary Industries will start culling the 80,000 hens infected with bird flu tomorrow in a process which is expected to take up to three days. The jump in infected chickens comes after it was found the highly pathogenic H7N6 strain had spread to a second shed on a free-range egg farm near Moeraki in Otago. Delphine Herbert reports.

The Ministry for Primary Industries says it's possible there'll be more cases of bird flu at an Otago egg farm. The culling of 80,000 chickens at the Mainland Poultry property in Moeraki will begin tomorrow. The Country's Jamie Mackay explained this won't create too much trouble for the sector - as there's millions of layer hens in the country.

The South Australian role of lead ag teacher will continue into 2025, with summer spraying underway officers from the Department of Primary Industries and Regions is ramping up compliance checks and the Country Hour turns 79 today.

There's confidence from the Ministry for Primary Industries that a bird flu strain will be eradicated. Around 80,000 chickens are set to be slaughtered after the disease was found at a Mainland Poultry-owned property at Moeraki in Otago yesterday. A second barn tested positive last night, but neither is the strain circulating in wildlife globally. MPI Director-General Ray Smith told Mike Hosking they're mapping half a dozen properties with links to the farm. He says it'll take a couple of weeks before the outer limits of the virus are confirmed, and expects it to be relatively contained. Live or raw poultry exports have been stopped for the time being.

Australia is surrounded by a network of 60 marine parks, and scientists are still making incredible discoveries about the wildlife that live in them.A recent scientific expedition to the Beagle Marine Park in Bass Strait discovered thousands of Port Jackson Sharks - a species normally seen in shallow coastal waters - gathered on the seabed. What exactly they're doing is a mystery still to be solved.In this episode we take a dive into the Beagle with expedition leader Dr Jacquomo Monk from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania and find out what makes this part of the ocean so special.The Beagle expedition is supported by the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program and a grant of sea time from the Southern Coastal Research Vessel Fleet (SCRVF). The SCRVF is a partnership between the South Australian Research and Development Program and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, with funding from the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and support from the CSIRO Marine National Facility, to provide the marine research community with better access to coastal research vessels in Southern Australia. The survey is a collaboration between Parks Australia, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (University of Tasmania) and the University of Western Australia. Image: Port Jackson Sharks gathering on the sea bed of the Beagle Marine Park.
