Challenges, resilience and confidence

George Morris Farmers are remaining resilient and confident in the face of tough dairy and commodity prices. Let’s be realistic, the past 18 months have been a huge shake up for farmers, especially dairy farmers and those whose businesses rely on growing feed for dairy stock. However, the flow-on effects have been seen through all classes of farming as well as most agriculturalbased businesses. As bad as this downturn in dairy pricing has been we believe there has been a silver lining. It has forced the industry to dial back, it has opened the eyes of farmers to realise

that we are at the mercy of the markets and especially China. It has meant people have taken a step back, looked hard at their running costs, stock numbers and debt/equity ratios; re-evaluated and adjusted accordingly. People are having to farm with viability and not productivity in mind. Latest Real Estate New Zealand (REINZ) data shows total volumes and values of farms sold in 2015 were slightly lower than those recorded for 2014 but the rural property sector, across the board, is cyclical. Just as the residential market is. Again Mid Canterbury has showed no sign of a drop, but more of a plateau in land values with strong enquiry and sales in both current and previous listings. Bayley’s is still fielding strong enquiry from offshore syndicates, as well as good local interest across all classes of land. The next 18 to 24 months will be a critical time in the New Zealand agricultural industry, however, it’s not all bad.

A slowly sliding New Zealand dollar, low interest rates, a lift in oil prices and a strengthening futures market are all good signs for a recovery in dairy and commodity prices. It is important to remain positive, as with any market cycle we find ourselves at a low point but we will come out of it. And when it comes to buying and selling land, remember; they’re not making any more of it.

Interior decorating

Get the right carpet for your home So you need to replace your wellworn carpet - but where do you start? With so many colour and texture variations, finding the floor covering that best matches your needs can be like finding a needle in a haystack. But with some preparation and careful consideration that choice could be considerably easier and painless for you and your family. Firstly, you need to consider the style of carpet you requires. For example, do you want a plush carpet that promises to be soft and inviting? This option works well as long as you don't have young children or little footprints, as even vacuum tracks show up vividly. Plush carpet can also look multi-coloured due to areas that look shaded because the normal direction of fibres have been reversed. For durability Berber carpeting is hard to beat. With its continuous fibre loops and flat, dense make-up, it hides stains and footprints well. Choice of carpet texture will often come down to the room it is going to be laid in. High traffic areas suit Berber carpets, whereas formal rooms not used often could have a plusher finish. Once you've worked out what kind of feel you want your carpet to have set a budget and stick to it. Wool carpets might represent the best in quality, but they also come with a higher price tag whereas nylon and other synthetics feel similar to wool but cost a lot less. Don't be afraid to shop around, and make sure to request separate pricing for materials and installation so you can make a direct comparison to other suppliers. Remember to haggle!

If they want your business they will often meet you in the middle. Even a 5 per cent discount can equate to a significant cost cut. Make sure you factor maintenance costs into your budget. A new carpet doesn't necessarily look new for long if it isn't maintained well. So if you have a tiny terror, or a fur ball for a pet, you may opt for stain-resistant carpets to eliminate future headaches. It will also cut your cleaning time. When shopping around be sure to ask about cleaning and maintenance on all the carpets you're interested in. It's important to understand how to clean and what products the manufacturer recommends. Choosing the correct colour shade can be tricky depending on what atmosphere you want to create. Golden and red shades ooze

comfort, while greens and blues radiate a peaceful setting. Keep in mind darker colours can make a room feel smaller. Many new houses are often carpeted in neutral colours, but this should only be an option if you want your carpet to fade into the background. However, if you have a significant artwork or furniture you wish to show off then neutral will help to highlight it. Patterned, textured and dark-coloured carpets all serve to hide stains better. Whatever you choose, make sure to take a large sample home and examine it in your room's natural light. Just as clothing can look different from what you choose in a catalogue, so can carpet look different in another environment. If you are a keen recycler you may wish to choose a carpet based on its

MAKE A COMMITMENT TO PROTECT WHAT MATTERS

impact on the environment. Check the recycled content percentage before you buy, keeping in mind that many nylon and synthetic carpets are made from mainly fossil fuel by products. Some carpets have been made from recycled water bottles. Underlay is equally important to your final decisions as it conceals imperfections in your floor and acts as insulation. Made from rubber and foam, underlay can significantly lengthen your carpet's lifetime so don't be tempted to scrimp on the costs involved in underlay. Finally, make sure you weigh up any warranties offered with the product, but don't over-emphasise this in your final decisions as many warranties offer little in true coverage and most carpet complaints stem from improper installation as opposed to manufacturing defects.

Gardening

April is a good time to... protect your plants from the cold. The bark mulch will also make it tougher for snails and slugs to get to all your seedlings. Remember to move any potted plants that might be susceptible to frost to a warmer spot.

Harvest apples and feijoas. Speaking of fruit, now’s a good time to spray your fruit trees with a copper spray to reduce the fungal spores and the risk of disease. Don’t forget to spray on the ground around the tree as well. And while you’re there, give any trees that are starting to get away on you a prune and tidy up. While you’ve got your pruning tools out, give your shrubs that have finished flowering a once-over so they’re nice and tidy before the weather gets cold and wet. And give your roses a light prune before winter – simply take off any dead flower heads. Replant your summer annuals with winter annuals. Pull out the plants, dig over your soil and replace them with geranium, primula, polyanthus, cineraria and pansy. If you get your winter annuals in now while the soil is warm they'll get growing quickly and continue growing right over winter. If you find you’re starting to mow the lawns more regularly again after summer, it’s a sure sign the soil temperature is still warm but there’s now some moisture in it too. If you plant at this point your seedlings should take off and won't take too long to flower at all.

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries While you’re at it, be sure to put some winter veges in the garden. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, leeks, lettuce, silverbeet and spinach can all be planted this month. Harvest pumpkins, potatoes and onions, and store in a cool dry place. If your soil gets wet and soggy during winter, add some lime, and if it’s quite free draining but hard, add some gypsum to break it up. Give the soil an extra boost by adding some compost. Once your seedlings are planted be sure to mulch around them. Spread pea straw and bark mulch to

Autumn leaves will be starting to fall and need raking and collecting. You can add some types of leaves to your compost, but others, like black walnuts, english walnut, hickory and pecan tree leaves, all need to be disposed of due to the toxin hydrojuglone in them. This toxin will cause other plants to turn yellow, wilt and die. The best way to collect and compost your other leaves is to first shred them by running over them with a lawn mower. Then tip a layer of leaves into a black plastic rubbish bag, sprinkle over a handful of garden lime and continue the layers until the bag is full. Tie the top of the bag and poke holes all over it. Place it somewhere sunny and leave it to break down. In summer you will have a lovely mulch to apply around your plants. Tod Palenski, Awapuni Nurseries www.awapuni.co.nz
