00:00The last five years, we've been doing 1,400 soil samples every year.
00:06Every February, we do our whole soil sampling, GPS coordinated,
00:12so we're sampling in the exact same areas.
00:15So in 2025 reporting period, we sequestered over 11,500 tonnes of carbon
00:22for a footprint touching 9,000 tonnes.
00:26We're increasing our carbon sequestration because, you know,
00:30the more country that we're improving, you know, the more carbon that we are sequestering.
00:35So we're very focused on pasture sequestration, which is helping us hold more moisture.
00:41So 1% carbon gain is giving us about 160,000 litres more water per hectare.
00:48This carbon is also helping make our soils healthier.
00:52We're seeing much better weight gains on our wieners
00:56because we're predominantly, you know, a wiener operation where most of our country is.
01:01So a big, big take-up of weight gain throughout our wieners.
01:06And that contributes to improving our pasture but also improving our soil health.
01:13But some key areas that we're focused on is obviously reducing methane through genetics.
01:19So purchasing animals that are really strong maternal lines, very fertile, shorter gestation period, faster weight gain.
01:30But our latest acquisition was a bull out of Scotland.
01:33Rawburn Aberdeen Angus produced an outstanding bull, number one in the world for feed efficiency.
01:39We have to get smarter at feeding animals cheaper.
01:44And that bull now will make a big difference in our whole, you know, paddock-to-plate program.
01:51AI was a whole new era of farming.
01:56It's a whole new era for the world.
01:57So we've adopted AI only in a small way at the moment.
02:01But a big focus is on us is being able to compress large documents
02:06and understand the key ingredients of those documents that can better help us make informed decisions on farm.
02:16We're also focused with more drone usage than ever before.
02:20So currently we're working with drones on farm, but also AI to identify green-on-green certain weeds
02:29that pose a big problem within our region, but also pose a problem in our operation.
02:36So using AI to become better at identifying weeds through drones, through apps,
02:43is helping make us better farmers and better at what we do day to day.
