Spring warmth in rising export values

Few parts of the country have escaped the teeth of winter this year, and Canterbury is no exception. The region fell victim to more than its usual share of rainfall through July and August, flooding paddocks and compromising crops and planting opportunities for spring.

But with lengthening days and temperatures creeping up, this spring carries more than just the usual seasonal optimism of sunnier skies and warmer soils. Thanks to strong commodity prices this spring promises to be even brighter, with returns across the board on milk solids, crops, beef and lamb all looking strongly positive.

The big hit that milk solids returns took in the past three seasons now look to be well in the rear view mirror as international prices, particularly for butter and cheese, firm up considerably.

Internationally global dairy markets are

ASHBURTON 97 Burnett St Tel: 03 307 5100 Fax: 03 307 6723 ashburton@ruralco.co.nz

METHVEN 88 Main St Tel: 03 303 2020 Fax: 03 302 8184 methven@ruralco.co.nz

close to a “sweet spot” for supply and demand, but the fats stand out as the star performers for returns, with butter prices touching US$6,000 a tonne in late July.

The irony of strong butter prices driving returns will not be lost on Canterbury dairy farmers, having spent years breeding cows to build the protein component ahead of the fat component.

This season milk fat will account for 70% of dairy farm milk solids income, when only 10 years ago farmers were being warned it would only form 10% of their dairy income stream.

In lifting its payout to $6.75/kg milk solids in late July, Fonterra chairman John Wilson said the industry was experiencing growing confidence on farm across the country as global demand strengthened.

Chief Executive Theo Spierings said the co-operative was well positioned to take advantage of improving demand for dairy nutrition across ingredients, consumer and food service markets.

Meantime the red meat sector also retains the positivity that has bounced it between seasons without the usual price drops anticipated by the market.

South Island lamb prices continue their strong upward movement, with midAugust schedule prices at the peak of the market’s low supply point topping $6.50 a kg, a full $1 a kg up on last year’s prices.

Lambs falling into the forward-store category at Temuka were selling for $115 to $125 a head in early August, to strong interest despite the tough, wet weather conditions.

Overall low inventory supplies of processed lamb and continuing drop in total sheep numbers is expected to keep a level of supply tension, and firm pricing in the market over the coming season.

Beef farmers are also anticipating another rewarding year, although there is also a level of caution amongst analysts.

RAKAIA 68 Elizabeth Ave Tel: 03 303 5440 Fax: 03 303 5430 rakaia@ruralco.co.nz

ANZ Economist Con Williams in his seasonal analysis has cautioned on the size of the Australasian supply coming onto the market this season, causing him to expect prices to hold around $5/kg into late 2017 before adjusting down to nearer $4/kg.

In the arable sector, so critical to Canterbury, the news is also looking bright this spring.

Harvest time was wet for many in South Canterbury, but final yield figures have proven an above average harvest year.

Wheat is up 12% and barley up 8% amid healthy interest reported from feed mills and farmers seeking animal feed.

This has also been buoyed by low stocks of feed barley, milling wheat and oats and feed oats, and particularly low supplies of feed wheat.

The Arable Industry Marketing Initiative (AIMI) indicates a high level of confidence among farmers with future sowings up 13% for the coming season.

The return in confidence in the dairy sector is also playing well into arable farmers’ hands, particularly for feed barley with plantings expected to be up 51% this season matching a return in demand for staple feed crops reported.

Federated Farmers Arable Spokesman Guy Wigley cautioned in August that farmers or processors seeking grain supply should do so sooner than later, with suggestions there may be no uncommitted grain left in farm silos in Southland, Otago and the North Island in coming months.

Overall conditions have made it tough for farmers kicking off a new growing season, but many are taking confidence in more secure pricing, with Federated Farmers’ latest survey finding the number of farms expecting to make a profit has doubled on a year ago.

News from Ruralco Be wary of scam emails

Are you with the best energy provider for your farm?

There has been a recent increase in both the sophistication and number of scam emails doing the rounds at the moment. Previously the scammers have pretended to be from a bank, but the recent emails we have seen have talked about and incorrect charge on your account, or outstanding refund for you to claim, using brands such as Apple, Spark and even the IRD. The emails look very legitimate so you can be easily fooled, especially if you have dealings with the company they are pretending to be.

Some guidelines to help see if the email is legitimate: • Are you expecting an email from this company with regards to the subject mentioned?

• Is the button they want you to click on to claim your credit/refund in an obvious place. Our experience is that a legitimate email from a company would have this option buried away in the email.

• Hover you mouse over the button they want you to click, it should show the web address of what this link will open, if this does not include the internet address of the company then it is a scam email.

• If you are still unsure, pick up the phone and call the company and ask if they sent you the email.

When is the last time you took a close look at your electricity accounts? Is your energy provider offering you the best pricing solution for your farm? Do you need help reviewing your energy plans? Ruralco Energy is here to make managing your energy accounts easy by continuing to work with our partners – Meridian, Genesis Energy, Nova Energy and Kea Energy – to ensure you get the best offers available to suit your individual needs.

broadleaf herbicide for wheat, triticale and barley and is now also registered for use in ryegrass seed crops. Paradigm contains the active ingredients Arylex™ and florasulam and is formulated as an easy-to-use water dispersible granule.

Paradigm can be applied to ryegrass seed crops from GS22-32, before application of the PGR trinexapac-ethyl. Key weeds controlled include cleavers, shepherds purse, cornbind, fumitory, chamomiles and many more. Paradigm is compatible with a range of broadleaf and grass weed herbicides as well as fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and trace elements, and works well in cold conditions.
