The podcast that celebrates dairy farming and the people behind it. Hosts George Dodson (Young Farmer of the Year winner, dairy farming the family farm in Leeston) and Conan Moynihan (Groundshift co-founder, agribusiness coach and Kellogg Scholar) sit down with farmers, experts and industry folk to dig into one topic at a time, from soil health and nutrition to calf rearing and everything in between. Practical advice you can take back to the farm, real stories from the paddock, and plenty of laughs along the way. Because dairy's good..... but how good?

  • How Good's Beef on Dairy | Ben Watson, GENEZ

    How Good's Beef on Dairy | Ben Watson, GENEZ
    2026/09/21
    Beef over dairy is the fastest-growing decision on a New Zealand dairy farm — and most of it gets made in about three seconds, standing behind a cow at mating.George Dodson sits down with Ben Watson, co-founder of GENEZ and a dairy farmer of close to thirty years, to work out what putting beef over your dairy cows actually does to the bottom line. Conan's away this week, so producer Andy Rowe takes the second chair.They get into why the beef decision drives genetic gain in your replacement heifers, how GENEZ picks a different sire for week one than week six, what calving ease really means next to birth weight, and why a 40kg calf can still come out easy.Then the money. A bobby calf gets you thirty or forty dollars. Contracted beef calves are running one fifty to one eighty in the South Island — both sexes, the whole of spring. But Ben won't call it free money: every kilo of calf birth weight costs the cow around 0.67 of a milk solid, which is $6.70 a kilo on a $10 payout.Also in this one: what a "marker" calf is and why it has to be obvious at three in the morning, the $118 difference in rearing cost between the slowest and fastest bull in the catalogue, and the 156kg weaner that turned up the week after Show Week.GENEZ: @Dairy's good — how good?

  • How Good's Year One - First Season On Your Own Farm

    How Good's Year One - First Season On Your Own Farm
    2026/09/13

    George is a season into milking his own cows, and he's already doing things his own way: a colostrum mob that never goes behind a wire, and a breeding rule with no science behind it at all.


    From there it's the ideal cow for a wet, heavy farm, why Conan gets a bit miffed at being called a regenerative consultant, the three legs of the stool on compaction, why effluent ends up in the wrong paddock on most farms, a planting plan going in this autumn, and an honest word about what eleven-hour days do to a body.


    George Dodson farms at Leeston, Canterbury. Conan Moynihan is an agribusiness coach and co-founder of Groundshift.
