Paul Grave is the Head of Fonterra Farm Source for the Waikato. He caught up with The Country Early Edition's Dom George today for an update on his region.
The latest GDT result was "nondescript" according to Paul but he says that's still a good outcome.
The Waikato has been busy with Fieldays and it has been a very positive experience this year according to Paul. He attributes this to the pay out and farmers feeling better about how things are looking for the future.
Finally Paul addresses rumours in the Waikato about disparities between headline milk prices and what farmers are actually being paid.
