FULL SHOW (06 July) Science and Skills in NZ
Welcome to another episode of Sarah’s Country. Sarah is joined again by four great guests to talk about the matters that matter most.
We will speak to Hawke’s Bay/Wairarapa farmers Nick and Nicky Dawson who were named the 2020 Fonterra Responsible Dairying Award winners during the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards on Saturday night and received the John Wilson Memorial Trophy.
Regenerative agriculture seminars attracted capacity audiences in Northland last week. Northtec principal academic Peter Bruce will tell us why the knowledge events were so popular and share his thoughts on the merging of regional polytechnics into a national body to address skill shortages.
A simple laboratory test could one day be available for farmers to test their livestock’s tolerance to facial eczema. We will be joined by AgResearch scientist Dr Axel Heiser whose team has begun researching the feasibility in a pilot study being launched this month with funding from Beef + Lamb.
Without skilled operators, rural contractors risk having millions of dollars of essential agricultural machinery sitting idle this spring. After an urgent meeting with Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor, Rural Contractors chief executive Roger Parton will explain the rising concern over the pending labour shortage.
