  Speaker 2: Oh sorry, row I halfway stopped through my sentence because

  Speaker 2: I thought there's something wrong with everything, with everything because
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: of my headphone. We're working properly anyway. Listen you, everything's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: working for you quite well. You had a chat to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Todd McLay today. He's in Brazil. What's he doing there?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's very ahead of their G twenty summit,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: but he's gone earlier. I had a few bilateral trade
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: meetings as well, led a business delegation to Salparlow where
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: there's actually about forty ki we businesses operating. Look, I
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: didn't actually realize Brazil is such a huge country two
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty million people, but we've actually got a
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: lot in common when it comes to agriculture. So Todd
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: McClay was telling me this afternoon that like us, their
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: government wants to help farmers meet their obligations around climate change,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: around the environment, but without putting people out of business,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: so leaning into technology and things like that. That he says,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: they've agreed that the two institutions should actually work together
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to find ways to achieve that without reducing production. So yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't actually anticipate that they would align quite so
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: strongly on those points.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, the Hawks Bay amp show started today, was it right?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It's doing okay?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually doing really well. And I mean, like
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Hawks Bay do it well, don't they. Tomorrow's the anniversary day,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: so they turn it into a four day weekend. Like
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: why can't we all be like Hawks Bay?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But anyway, thinking isn't it very jealous?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: But look, today was kind of like the Farmer's Day,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: so the farmers kind of go on the Thursday. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: rest of everyone goes on on the Friday when they've
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: got the day off and stuff. I was chatting to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: some of my mates who were there. They said it
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: was a beautiful day, but like, there's the equestrian today.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: There was all the shows and stuff. The trades were
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: all busy, and he said there was just a good
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: group of people catching up. So in hawks Bay they're
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: starting to kind of drift into that dry end of
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the spectrum. They had a good early spring, things were
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: moving in the right direction, good lambing, good carving, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you know a question mark now on how soon it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: going to get a bit dry heading towards summer. Today
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: there was the kids sharing, so tomorrow it's the great

  Speaker 3: kids from as far away as Wide or so. Yeah.
