Farmers' Confidence Gap

Good night, Mazell and welcome to the country day three here at uh Mystery Creek National Agricultural Field Days. Gee, honestly, they don't release the crowd attendance numbers here, and I wish they would. I must chase up Richard Lindrews, uh, the chief executive because I think we've broken records this year. There are so many people here. We've got a cast of thousands to talk to today, quite literally. And our swinger, I don't know if that's the right word to describe him as Winston Peters. So we're gonna have to shuffle the show for when Winston arrives. Hopefully at about 12 30. And I can tell you, having listened to him uh addressing the Federated Farmers Adie site, he's in uh he's in a cantankerous mood, and he will be up for a fight. But straight into it. Um, he's a very important man, the world's greatest ever sharer. I had the second greatest ever sharer maybe on the show yesterday, Roland Smith. This bloke, uh, will his record will never be beaten. His name is Sir David Fagan. And David, you were at the big rural industry leaders event and debate on Wednesday night, and this man beside you will bring him in in a minute. But you were there, and you were mentioned in the same breath as Sir William Gallagher, Willie Appiata, and Richie McCoy. You're moving in very high circles.
