On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Stu Davison from HighGround Dairy about the latest Global Dairy Trade Event (+1.1%), why the result was against expectations and Stu's 4th of July celebrations... He talks with Associate Professor Christopher Winefield, from the Department of Wine, Food & Molecular Biosciences at Lincoln University, about its world-first genome study which could help NZ’s billion-dollar wine export industry grow more disease-resistant grapevines and reduce fungicide use in the sector, how it works and the formation of a new commercial venture designed to democratise genomic testing for farms across New Zealand... And he talks with Morris Pita, Co-Chair of the Whangaroa Ngaiotonga Trust, about winning the 2025 Ahuwhenua Trophy for being the top Māori sheep and beef farm in NZ, the history of the land and the effort that's gone in to making it a profitable farming business.
