On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Doug Avery, aka The Resilient farmer, about his trip to the United States last year to deliver a keynote address at a resilience seminar at Oregon State University and what he learnt about the US sheep industry while he was there. They also discuss his subsequent dealings with the American Sheep Industry Association and his ideas around collaboration in the face of staunch US protectionism... And he talks with Pāmu CEO Mark Leslie about its new initiative with BNZ to unlock value in existing native forests and how it could help improve NZ's land and biodiversity. They also discuss the proliferation of Madagascar Ragwort in the Far North and what Pāmu is doing to help alleviate the situation.
