This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay spoke to Rabobank senior analyst Emma Higgins about the Agribusiness Outlook 2022 report.
This week's top interviews were:
Stuart Nash:
The Forestry Minister gave us his take on carbon farming with Right tree, right place, right reasons - changes underway in farm forestry.
Farmer Tom Martin:
We caught up with our UK correspondent upon his return from two regenerative agriculture conferences in the US (Louisville and Wichita). Plus, we talked about Boris and Covid.
Don Carson:
A spat has developed between Federated Farmers and the Forest Owners Association over carbon farming. We asked a man who had worked for both organisations to mediate.
Emma Higgins:
The senior analyst and co-author of the Rabobank Agribusiness Outlook 2022 report was predicting a sixth consecutive year of general profitability for the country's ag sector. However, Higgins warned that while we're experiencing record returns, headwinds were gathering strength.
Graeme Williams:
This East Coast farmer is leading the charge against carbon foresters taking over some of our best pastoral farmland.
