And this year, the total work plan was around $2.1 million.

So from those seven signatories to the OA, $2.1 million for this year.

And we'll probably be looking to up that to about $3 million as delivery matures next year.

Particular focus for us in that work program has just been to stay on top of the practical farmer outcomes.

So, you know, making sure that we build on what we learned during BOVIS, making sure that these operational plans are going to work in the real world and in real time with real people.

So that's where our focus goes when we are co-delivering those bits of work and making sure that farmers are supported through it.

At the end of the day, DairyNZ, we know farm systems, right?

We know the farming business.

We know the industry networks.

We know how the sector operates.

And so we are that translation piece from those plans into real life.

We also have a big role, as Mitch said, we're running these exercises around governance.

We are going to be around that decision-making table.

And so DairyNZ is going to bring its heft to those discussions and be able to drive good decisions that are going to work for farmers.

We have

lots of other different areas where we will have a role.

There will be a technical advisory group into that decision-making and DairyNZ will have expertise or the dairy sector will have expertise that they can put into that.

We also have army of foot soldiers, essentially, people that know farmers and know their communities, live in their communities, and they're the ones that we can make sure that they're embedded into that response structure, make sure that they are there to

to help support farmers, as Mitch said, through a really, really traumatic time.

And that's something that DairyNZ did really well in Mpovis.
