00:02 - Welcome back to another episode of Getting the Upper Land.

00:14 I'm livestock editor, Rebecca Nagy.

00:17 Making news this week,

00:19 neither the state agriculture minister

00:21 nor the premier's office have confirmed

00:23 whether there will be job cuts

00:24 to the Department of Primary Industries.

00:27 Stakeholders have been concerned

00:29 this could be a possibility

00:30 after the former director general,

00:32 Scott Hansen was sacked in January.

00:34 The New South Wales government

00:36 is pushing ahead with renewable energy projects

00:39 with 18 projects finalized throughout 2023.

00:43 There are another 29 renewable energy projects

00:46 in the planning process,

00:48 while a further 70 new projects

00:50 are on the verge of being submitted for approval.

00:52 A much talked about ram has gone under the shears

00:56 at the Sydney Royal.

00:58 West Plains Zodiac was sashed

00:59 to the Supreme Merino exhibit on Wednesday

01:02 before being in shorn in the production class

01:04 on Thursday morning.

01:06 He cut a total of 19 kilograms

01:08 and weighed 124 kilos bare shorn.

01:11 That's all from me.

01:12 It's time to pass to my Dubbo colleague, Elke Devney.

01:16 - Thanks, Beck.

01:18 The rush is on to check if thousands of mobile phones

01:21 and other electronic devices

01:23 embedded in farm equipment will stay working

01:26 when 3G network shut down in the next six months.

01:31 Now, also this week, we saw Rob Hayward, a Corundi vet,

01:35 who has helped more student vets

01:37 get involved in the Sydney Royal Easter show,

01:40 presented with the Rural Agricultural Society

01:43 of New South Wales Youth Medal for his contribution.

01:47 Mr. Hayward also played the bagpipes

01:49 to welcome the Angus Grand Champions

01:51 into the ring at Sydney Royal over the weekend.

01:55 The land Sydney Royal Ag Show's

01:57 New South Wales Young Woman for 2024,

01:59 Dominique Wise from Taree,

02:02 was also featured on our cover this week.

02:05 She came to Sydney to take home one title,

02:07 but instead will be returning to the Mid North Coast

02:10 with another one under her belt

02:12 for the hotly contested district exhibit,

02:15 Pumpkin Bowls Knockout.

02:17 And on that note, I think we better bowl the mic

02:19 to our good friend, Oxley.

02:22 - Who the hell's Oxley?

02:23 - Thank you.

02:24 Oxley promised his birdies would be at Sydney Royal

02:27 and they have not disappointed.

02:29 It seems good luck comes in threes for the 2024 ALPA,

02:33 National Young Auctioneers Competition winner.

02:37 While he was on the auction block

02:38 on his way to becoming national champion,

02:41 Justin Oakenfield's horse, Helsey Bell,

02:43 was galloping in race six at Scone,

02:45 also taking out the win.

02:48 The third trick was Justin's mum, Jillian,

02:51 a stock and station industry veteran of 42 years,

02:54 winning the Acoubra in the ALPA

02:57 Young Auctioneers Pick the Winner competition.

02:59 Oxley says, "Nice work, Justin's mum."

03:03 Until next week, toodaloo.
