On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Mark Butterworth, an Investment Advisor with Craigs Investment Partners, about the payout options for farmers following Fonterra's Mainland sale, how farmers are looking to balance short term security with longer term resilience and a broader look at the agricultural economy... He talks with dairy farmer David Reeseby about winning the 2026 Taranaki/Manawatu Young Farmer of the contest, how much he's learned since last winning the title back in 2022 and what prompted him to have another tilt at the crown this year... And he talks with Chris Houston, Head of Technical Policy at Beef+Lamb NZ, about proposed changes to the traceability regulations around sheep and farmed pigs in NZ, what options are in the table and which approach is favoured by industry bodies and farmers.
