This week on Stockwhips and Lattes we chat with Ken Payne an ex professional shearer turned farm tutor and district councilor based in Balclutha.

Ken is passionate about our shearing and rural industry and for the last 2 decades has been passing on his skills and knowledge with Telford agricultural students and most recently, with Laura's interns at Fairlight Station.

Ken can shear a sheep blindfolded, spins a good yarn and is a bit of a legend in the deep south.

Brian, Glen, and Andrew Clayton grew up on a farm on the West Coast of the South Island and all traveled overseas to pursue corporate careers before coming home to NZ to get into the hops industry.

Episode 48 - Brian Clayton

This week on Stockwhips and Lattes we get Hilary Webber back on the show to discuss Eqalis a vertically integrated medicinal cannabis business based in the Bay of Plenty. We all know that medicinal cannabis is now legal in New Zealand, but the industry is still fraught with obstacles and challenges which Hilary discusses with us. 


Hilary describes Eqalis as an agritech business and says that the medicinal cannabis industry in New Zealand has the potential to be as big as dairy. So the questions must be asked, why is the government not backing the research and development in this industry and why is it still so hard to get a prescription for medicinal cannabis?

Episode 47 - Hilary Webber Part 2

This week on Stockwhips and Lattes we chat to Hilary Webber, dairy farm owner and Chairperson of Eqalis, a vertically integrated medicinal cannabis business. 
Hilary's journey is hard-fought and fraught with obstacles. Hilary was a townie from Cambridge working as a nurse when she meet and then married a dairy farmer. From breastfeeding her kids in the milking shed to becoming the first woman elected on the NZ Dairy Board, Hilary has had an impressive governance career that was kickstarted initially through family tragedy. 

Hilary then ditched the corporate roles for a while, put the gummies back on, project managed a series of farm conversions, and worked hard running several farms that she and her husband owned. Then tragedy struck again and Hilary shifted her focus into a governance role that she is very passionate about.
