Anne LeeHOST
What's been the kind of the challenges, the good and the bad? It has been very wet for Canterbury, and I know that farm is probably well suited to a hot, dry summer.

Peter HancoxGUEST
We've had two fairly similar seasons in a row now, quite wet through the winter, then very wet through spring and into summer.

Peter HancoxGUEST
So we were getting like sort of 40 to 60 odd mils in each rainfall, which was quite significant.

Peter HancoxGUEST
Irrigation, obviously the farm is 100% irrigated, but a normal year we would have irrigated at least 90 days through the summer.
