🚨 New Ausfine Bite Sides Episode 🚨
From Waikato dairy farms to the trading floors of Chicago — Stu Davison brings a rare, full-circle view of the global dairy industry.
Growing up on large-scale farms in New Zealand before moving into financial markets, Stu now helps producers and processors navigate one of the most volatile parts of dairy: pricing risk.
In this episode, we unpack how the industry really works behind the scenes — from milk price exposure to global market forces — and why tools like hedging are becoming more critical than ever.
We dig into:
The journey from dairy farming to global dairy broker
What hedging actually is (in simple terms) and why it matters
How New Zealand farmers manage milk price risk
Why Australia lags behind — and what needs to change
The reality of global dairy markets (US, NZ, and beyond)
How volatility impacts farmers, processors, and the entire supply chain
