The Dairy Exporter Podcast

Farm ownership is becoming a harder goal to achieve, especially for the next generation who might not have the capital to meet increasing land prices. In this episode hear from Sarah How, Co-Founder of Landify, on how the platform is setting up young growers with established farmers; Conrad Wilkshire from Property Brokers about how the property market is gaining momentum this spring; and CEO of Pāmu Mark Leslie, on their new pathways programme.

Guests include:

1. Sarah How, Co-Founder, Landify

2. Conrad Wilkshire, General Manager for Rural, Property Brokers

3. Mark Leslie, CEO, Pāmu

Hosts:

1. Sheryl Haitana, Editor, Dairy Exporter

3. Sarah Perriam-Lampp, Managing Director, CountryWide Media

Co-Founder of Ladify Sarah How discusses why they created Landify to support younger farmers into business and farm ownership pathways, and to connect them with established farmers. She says the big barrier for the next generation of farmers is having enough capital to purchase land, but also the connections to go into equity-partnership models with, which is where Landify can help.

General Manager for Rural at Property Brokers Conrad Wilkshire discusses whether the property market is softening, and what this could mean for both growers wanting to get into farm ownership, and those looking to sell. He says there’s a lot more market discipline happening this season, and good preparation around due diligence.

Pāmu has committed to creating more pathways to bring more farmers into the sector, by making it easier for farmers to get into farm ownership. CEO Mark Leslie discusses why they decided to do it, what they hope to achieve, and the pathways available.
