I mean, clearly there's some big pre election promises there around blanket tariffs and they created some big headlines here in New Zealand and sort of made us sit up as a large export nation in the US market is a really important market for our sheep, beef and venison farmers, and that market's going extremely well for us. But when our views, there's still a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and the twentieth of January and whether New Zealand will actually be affected and whether those tariffs are going to be more targeted versus blanket and we're sort of seeing, you know, they're definitely going to be focusing on nations that is a trade of balance with the US, and luckily New Zealanders in the US is quite a balanced trade position, and I think for US, the US is very very short on beef at the moment, you know, and they're going to be relying heavily on us over the next few years. So you know, I think for US, there's a lot of water to go under the bridge. The chances of a blanket tariff is is probably less likely than we think, but we are watching it very closely, and we're also seeing you know, consumers in the US also, you know, are very up in arms around the impact of increasing food prices with those as well, so we're monitoring it. You know, a lot of waters to go under the bridge. But you know, as farms, we're really good at sort of managing sort of geopolitical and trade changes. You know, we export to over sefty countries.

You've got a bit you've got to be on top of that. You've got you when you're when you're a really exported like us, how is how how are exports doing generally in the sixth at the moment? How are exportstone how are we.

Preparing We've just come off our farmer roadshows and we've shared a lot of optimism as we move into twenty twenty five. You know, we're seeing some big global supply dynamics swimming back into our favor, which is going to be good for our farmers. And then what we're also seeing on the back of climate change and some you know, other large producer nations, food security is becoming a real concern for some of our high value customers offshore. So that's another positive sign for New Island. And so you know, we start to see that see both of those play out, and you know, already in the Q the last quarter of this year, we're seeing land pricing recover well, you know, back up over the eight dollar mark, and that's favorable, and we're seeing that continue into into twenty twenty five. The UK is going to be short, and we're seeing some good year on the year price and on beef, you know, some record pricing out the farm gate at this point in time, particularly off the back of the US being very short, and we're seeing that going to be continuing for some time as well. So lots of tailwinds which our farmers desperately need. So we're looking forward to a pretty exciting twenty twenty five.

This Canada's dispute that we've gotten. We've had Todd McLay over in Canada meeting with them to talk about it in the last couple of days. Anything to do with red Meter or is this all a dairy thing.

Yeah, it's all a dairy thing, so I think we're pretty safe there.
