It feels like the golden days for dairy farmers as they celebrate a record-breaking year. 

Dairy NZ's annual state of the dairy nation report shows farmers produced an unprecedented 21 billion litres of milk in the 2024/2025 season.  

The sector smashed export records – raking in more than $27 billion. 

Dairy NZ Chief Executive Campbell Parker told Mike Hosking it reflects the good work farmers have done over a long time. 

He says this injection into the economy can be invested back, meaning it's especially good for New Zealand.
