On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Pete Oswald from the Central Otago Wilding Conifers Group about the 2026 National Wilding Pine Conference in Invercargill, the major issues and key announcements and Pete's career as a professional freeskier, adventurer, film maker, businessman and environmental advocate... And he talks with Jarrod Godfrey, Findex Accounting & Business Advisory Partner, about farmers having a valuable window to get their finances and plans in order before the rural property market gets busy in spring, how to assess borrowing capacity and risk and why it's important to get annual accounts completed early. They also discuss what banks will look for when assessing finance and why thorough due diligence on things like water, effluent and infrastructure can make or break a purchase.
