So I think mirroring a fair bit of volatility out there still.
Oh, look, they're very good in terms of not only in dairy, but also across the meat sector as well.
Returns for farmers are strong.
Look, in terms of peak cow number, they've come back off since 2015.
There are conversions happening in Canterbury.
The first thing I would say is they're generally converting out of land to a lower footprint.
So it's the first thing.
And the way that they've been converted is very different than how they were done historically as well.
So, yep, there is conversion activity happening, but it's not back to the days when we had massive land changes.
I think there's a couple of things.
One is the strong demand for protein and there's also very strong demand for naturally produced products and New Zealand being pasture based, we do have a unique position in the world around that and then I think that whole demand for protein, I was at the Beef and Lamb Conference last week and
Related to red meat, but it's a similar trend.
If you look at places like the US, they've flipped the priority for protein.
You've got weight loss drugs going on, so people are eating less but more protein.
So demand for protein overall is very strong.
One of the, I mean, look, it's one of the most, you know, nutritionally dense foods, but one of the benefits of milk is it can be turned into a lot of products.
So if you look at, you know, Fonterra with the food services business, the ingredients business,
where milking's up is not just in bulk products.
So that's where the value is, and how do we try and extract that to return it to farmers?
