Mike and Vicki, love your farming history from South Island Canterbury flat country farming to North Island. Love watching your higher c I unary farming. Travelled through both Island Island country travelling every term break while attend Lincoln College in 1980s. I fall in love with that country what an amazing country and hoping to find some old friends if I can and visit them there. Benny and Frieda from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 . Love you guys and your mountainous farming. God bless
Being to New Zealand at Lincoln College in 1980s and fall in love with New Zealand Sheep and Cattle Farming countries down to the middle south towards Dunniden. Love your family and from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
Very nice. New Zealand is my favorite country. And agriculture is also my favorite subject. So I want to take agricultural training.
Awesome video, love it!
What is the distillery called????
@mrsilwood2578 thanks for watching - you can find more information in the video description. Link here for you: lammermoordistillery.com/pages/lammermoor-station
Diminishing returns on traditional farming revenues. Intergenerational lack of desire to manage/ own, but interest in the divvy up of capital. Are some of the changing underlaying issues facing mega blocks. I'm not a farmer, my Fathers side was. Bring it on, too much land locked up in small numbers of owners.
Yer love it. And think if all help can make this work' thanx
This is great mahi.
Can i work ur farm ? I love so mch

Awesome work
Great Video Sam & Sophie, Fantastic summary of the issues surrounding the world's most fantastic fibre, thanks for sharing
Thank you
absolutely beautiful mates, well done
I like that your video shows farmers and townies that is does not have to be about retiring productive land to native. There is so much marginal land and small unusable plots to start on and many of those are within town boundaries and near roads. Even creating small islands of native bush so that native birds can move from one area of native bush to another. I live in an area where the hillsides are covered in gorse while 15 minutes away land that was once farms, orchards and horticulture is being turned into housing. It's madness.
Excellent story. So good to watch.he younger generation commit themselves to native flora and fauna AND make a good business out of it. .
Do love some nice thick bush.
What is the dog called
I miss Moawhango so much❤ My kids would absolutely love this life. Sadly the mrs loves wellyz and the Hutt too much hahaha. Bugger.
Good on this guy for doing what he’s doing. I don’t believe the vilification of farmers in recent years is entirely justified. They have tried to paint the entire industry with the same brush. I believe large, industrial factory farms and feed lots like you see in America and other parts of the world need to be stopped as it doesn’t do any good by the animal and the process I don’t believe benefits human health either. What this guy is doing is far from that and I fully support farmers who want to do right by their land and provide a good environment for their animals like this guy does. People have been brain washed into thinking all farming is bad, that is a lie I see primarily soaked up by city folk and people so far removed from rural living that they think their food originates from the supermarket.
🎉 What a great idea, making fencing posts out of used plastic! They will last forever
Well done Ryan
Hello sir
