On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Richard Kells, founder and Director of Kells Wool, about his decision to keep the company's wool auctions in Napier, despite the two biggest wool brokers in the country now operating their auctions out of Christchurch. They also discuss whether the decision to stay has paid off and the feedback from farmers... He talks with Sarah Barr from Rural Coach NZ about its new online resource regarding building a thriving farming family or business, the concept of a 'Family Charter' and how this can help with farm succession and the transfer of assets... And he talks with Mike Borrie, DairyNZ Chief Farm Solutions & Engagement Officer, about his move to DairyNZ after working for Fonterra and its predecessors for over thirty years, what DairyNZ has on offer at Fieldays 2026 and the current state of the dairy market.
