On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Mid-Canterbury farmer David Clark about his problems renewing his Farming Land Use Consent with Environment Canterbury, despite an A Grade Environmental Audit mark, what his options are and why it should be a concern for farming families across the country... He talks with Craig Smith, Findex Wealth Management Partner, about the likely cash windfall for Fonterra shareholders following the sale of its global consumer business to Lactalis, why many farmers are rethinking their priorities in terms of how to spend this tax-free capital return and what it could mean for rural communities and the future dairy in NZ... And he talks with Julian Ashby, Beef+Lamb NZ GM of Insights and Strategic Planning, about the positive New Season Outlook for sheep and beef farmers, a return to profitability and the cost of afforestation.
