Thank you very much. Well, here's a man who's doing a lot more than me for the sector. He's never at home. He is the Minister of Agriculture, Todd McClay. I wouldn't mind your airpoints. Well, you can have them uh if you want, no problem at all. Hey, Jamie, thanks for having on. The sun's shining at the Waikata, the grass is growing, and I've seen at least one farmer that's smiling, so it's a good start to the day. Uh the Prime Minister has a big announcement coming up. He's got his luncheon. I know Todd Charteris is out there somewhere. He's got to go to the luncheon. Lauris Lawrence Meredith, the EU ambassador's coming on the show. He's got to get to the luncheon, as do you. You've made a couple of announcements this morning. One of them around uh the Minister of Agriculture's future leaders scholarship. Three being presented annually. Yeah, that's right. So we've been thinking a lot about it the last sort of four or five months. And how do we how do we identify uh the farm leaders of the future and how do we mentor them and bring them on? And so we're doing is creating a scholarship. We'll announce it uh at the field days every year. Uh three uh young New Zealanders who are going to mentor, they've got to go and do some study in New Zealand overseas, you know, look at best practice. How do we start reinvesting in the young farmers of today and grow those leaders of the future? And so it's just a little step in the right direction. I tell you what's really pleasing after we made the announcement. Uh we're at another event, and the field days organized themselves come out and said they thought it was a great idea, they want to join in and chuck some money in. So at the moment, it'll be three uh scholarships a year at $10,000 each. I'm going to go and uh you know bend their arm a little bit. We'll grow that because I think we could do four or five uh people a year. I was joking to the Prime Minister about him being a big time celebrity not being able to walk down the aisles and the streets here at field days. It's actually true. He gets uh stopped all the time. As to you. What's the feedback you're getting from the punters at the coal face, i.e. the farmers? Look, I think there's two things going on. Uh you know, the sector rightly is feeling good about itself. Uh, you know, you produce the highest quality, safest food and fiber of any country in the world, and consumers overseas are wanting it and they're paying more for it. You you think about uh America, and I was asked the other day, am I frustrated by what's happening in in the States? Well, it's hard to be frustrated when it happens again and again and again. Feels like every time you know we get inflation down, a cost down, production up, America does something else. But even with those tariffs, uh actually we're selling them about four percent more by value than we were a year ago. It's the primary sector. You think about that European Union free trade agreement, which we came to government, we got in six months before we were told we could. In the first two years, three billion dollars worth of extra exports to the EU. It's the primary sector leading that. So across the board, farmers have a right to feel good, and I reckon New Zealanders are backing you now, they're recognising the importance of what you're you're doing. The second thing that I think that that I'm noticing as I I wander around is uh, you know, people are happy, but they just want to get back on the farms and farm some more. We've worked hard as a coalition government to simplify rules and get rid of them, get rid of the costs, get rid of those stupid bloody taxes that Chris Hipkins was always trying to put on farmers everywhere and back you. And you should be proud of what you do. You've got a government's gonna work hard. How fortuitous was the timing around the Indian FTO.
