Full Show | 28 February

36 minutes

In this week’s show:

Senior reporter Neal Wallace reports on a new auction system for strong wool that is modelled on the Global Dairy Trade system. He tells Bryan its backers say it will provide a better way to trade fibre and should lead to more value being created for farmers.
The New Zealand Meat Board flies under the radar a little bit but it does one of the most significant jobs in the food and fibre sector – managing the quotas for red meat exports. Chief executive Nick Beeby joins the show to lift the lid on the process.
AgriHQ senior analyst Suz Bremner previews the beef weaner fairs and calf sales that are getting underway. She says everything is pointing to a bumper set of sales and there should be great returns for vendors.
Federated Farmers vice-president Colin Hurst unpacks the new funding announced for the QEII Trust, which was facing the prospect of being unable to register new landholdings. He says the funding boost is great news for farmers and for conservation efforts.
