On today's REX Daily Podcast, Jo Grigg talks with arable farmer David Clark about publishing his five-year average returns from six crop types, with only carrot seed being profitable. They also discuss how all the rest lose between $1700 and $4000/hectare, how seed agents were 'stunned' at his figures and what banks are saying to farmers... And Dom talks with Shaun Monk from Island Hills Station about leasing the property for a range of tourism ventures, including accommodation, a walking track and hunting tours. They also discuss biodiversity projects on the property, farming at Island Hills, the annual NZ Skedaddle Trail Run and hosting an Agritourism NZ regional network day (Oct 5).
