'Prince William wants my product'
Grant Lightfoot was travelling the world to promote his edible natural bale net invention, and this week he had a one-on-one encounter with Prince William.
At the Groundswell Agricultural Show in England, William approached Lightfoot's stand, and the pair discussed the sustainable bale net wrap made from plant fibres.
Grant then handed William a pamphlet and his Kiwi Econet business card.
'He wants my product on their farms,' Lightfoot said.

The Kiwi Econet bale net wrap doesn't need to be removed, it is safe for cattle to eat, and is an eco-friendly option, removing the need for plastic.
'When I was talking to him, my leg was shaking so much, I thought it was going to fall off,' he said.
While in the United Kingdom, Lightfoot also visited Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
He told 1News he was in discussions with producers on the show to get his product featured on the hit Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm.
Lightfoot's product was recently featured on TVNZ's Hyundai Country Calendar, available to view on TVNZ+.

Prince William ‘just another guy': inventor
Orepuki farmer and Kiwi Econet inventor Grant Lightfoot met Prince William during the prince's surprise visit to the UK's regenerative agriculture festival, Groundswell. Photo: supplied Orepuki eco-farming inventor Grant Lightfoot has taken his edible bale netting to the world — including British royalty. Mr Lightfoot introduced his award-winning eco invention to Prince William during the prince's surprise visit to the United Kingdom's regenerative agriculture festival; Groundswell, last week. A festival official had organised for Prince William to stop at Mr Lightfoot's stall because he was the stall holder that had travelled the furthest. After a quick chat with one of the prince's team, who had already heard about the edible bale netting, Mr Lightfoot stood at his stall ready for the prince's arrival. "I had my card in my hand and my brochure ready ... " However, after speaking on stage, the prince headed off in another direction. "He had six security guards, and the crowd. There was just thousands of people around. And me being me, I just bee-lined for him and stopped him. And before the security guys could get a word in, I started talking about my edible bail net. The prince, as the eldest son of the reigning British monarch, inherited the Duke of Cornwall title and estates, becoming custodian of 52,172ha of land across 19 counties. Mr Lightfoot invited the prince to see the eco-friendly bale net. "It was so funny. Everyone just [did] a complete U-turn and came straight over to see me and my bail." During a brief chat with the prince, he explained the benefits of the wrap and how it could be eaten by stock animals and saved the environment. "I spoke to him like he was just another guy, and he spoke to me the same way. He took my business card, my brochure and said, 'we'll be in contact'." A video taken of the meeting and shared on social media platforms had gone viral, Mr Lightfoot said. Two days before Groundswell, the Southland farmer decided on an unscheduled early morning stopover at Jeremy Clarkson's Diddley Squat farm. But he initially took a wrong turn into Mr Clarkson's neighbour's property. Photo: supplied "So I drove back out the driveway and went up the next driveway and it was, bingo — here's Jeremy Clarkson's farm. "So I went up there and got talking to the film guy — they were just about to start filming. "He said, 'you know you're trespassing, blah blah blah'. "I said, 'no, I didn't know that. I thought I'd just drive up and say g'day." "Once I told him who I was, the attitude changed." They had already heard about the product through social media. The show's producer expressed an interest in featuring Kiwi Econet on Mr Clarkson's show sometime in the future. Mr Lightfoot, who had been travelling through Europe promoting the product, is continuing his promotional tour in the United States before returning to Southland. The new product had made "the world an oyster", he said. "People cannot believe what I've got, because everyone hates plastic." Farmers already producing baleage were able to use their existing machinery. "So that's another big bonus as well." He had fielded global inquiries, including from Switzerland, Europe and Chile, and expects to be able to meet demand. The edible bale netting, made of jute yarn, is manufactured and shipped from India.

Diddy gets standing ovation from inmates after court victory
Sean 'Diddy' Combs got a standing ovation from fellow inmates when the music mogul returned to jail after winning acquittals on potential life-in-prison charges, providing what his lawyer says might have been the best thing he could do for Black incarcerated men in America. 'They all said: 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'' attorney Marc Agnifilo told The Associated Press in a weekend interview days after a jury acquitted Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. Combs, 55, remains jailed at a federal lockup in Brooklyn after his conviction on prostitution-related charges, which could put him in prison for several more years. Any sentence will include credit for time already served. So far that's almost 10 months. After federal agents raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami in March 2024, Agnifilo said he told Combs to expect to be arrested on sex trafficking charges. The morning's headlines in 90 seconds, including deadly Texas floods, Australian woman attacked by a lion, and Elon Musk's new political party. (Source: 1News) ADVERTISEMENT 'I said: 'Maybe it's your fate in life to be the guy who wins,'' he recalled during a telephone interview briefly interrupted by a jailhouse call from Combs. 'They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.' Blunt trial strategy works The verdict in Manhattan federal court came after a veteran team of eight defence lawyers led by Agnifilo executed a trial strategy that resonated with jurors. Combs passed lawyers notes during effective cross-examinations of nearly three dozen witnesses over two months, including Combs' ex-employees. The lawyers told jurors Combs was a jealous domestic abuser with a drug problem who participated in the swinger lifestyle through threesomes involving Combs, his girlfriends and another man. 'You may think to yourself, wow, he is a really bad boyfriend,' Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos told jurors in her May opening statement. But that, she said, 'is simply not sex trafficking'. Agnifilo said the blunt talk was a 'no brainer". Defence attorney Marc Agnifilo, speaks outside Manhattan federal court July 2, 2025, in New York. (Source: Associated Press) ADVERTISEMENT 'The violence was so clear and up front and we knew the government was going to try to confuse the jury into thinking it was part of a sex trafficking effort. So we had to tell the jury what it was so they wouldn't think it was something it wasn't,' he said. Combs and his lawyers seemed deflated Tuesday (local time) when jurors said they were deadlocked on the racketeering count but reached a verdict on sex trafficking and lesser prostitution-related charges. A judge ordered them back to deliberate Wednesday. 'No one knows what to think,' Agnifilo said. Then he slept on it. Morning surprise awakes lawyer 'I wake up at three in the morning and I text Teny and say: "We have to get a bail application together," he recalled. 'It's going to be a good verdict for us but I think he went down on the prostitution counts so let's try to get him out'. He said he 'kind of whipped everybody into feeling better' after concluding jurors would have convicted him of racketeering if they had convicted him of sex trafficking because trafficking was an alleged component of racketeering. Agnifilo met with Combs before court and Combs entered the courtroom rejuvenated. Smiling, the onetime Catholic schoolboy prayed with family. In less than an hour, the jury matched Agnifilo's prediction. ADVERTISEMENT The seemingly chastened Combs mouthed 'thank you' to jurors and smiled as family and supporters applauded. After he was escorted from the room, spectators cheered the defence team, a few chanting: 'Dream Team! Dream Team!' Several lawyers, including Geragos, cried. 'This was a major victory for the defence and a major loss for the prosecution,' said Mitchell Epner, a lawyer who worked with Agnifilo as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey over two decades ago. He credited 'a dream team of defence lawyers' against prosecutors who almost always win. Agnifilo showcased what would become his trial strategy — belittling the charges and mocking the investigation that led to them — last September in arguing unsuccessfully for bail. The case against Combs was what happens when the 'federal government comes into our bedrooms,' he said.

(Source: Associated Press) Lawyers gently questioned most witnesses During an eight-week trial, Combs' lawyers picked apart the prosecution case with mostly gentle but firm cross-examinations. Combs never testified and his lawyers called no witnesses. Sarah Krissoff, a federal prosecutor in Manhattan from 2008 to 2021, said Combs' defence team 'had a narrative from the beginning and they did all of it without putting on any witnesses. That's masterful'. ADVERTISEMENT Ironically, Agnifilo expanded the use of racketeering laws as a federal prosecutor on an organised crime task force in New Jersey two decades ago, using them often to indict street gangs in violence-torn cities. Where to get help for sexual violence. (Source: 1News) 'I knew the weak points in the statute,' he said. 'The statute is very mechanical. If you know how the car works, you know where the fail points are.' He said prosecutors had 'dozens of fail points'. 'They didn't have a conspiracy, they just didn't,' he said. 'They basically had Combs' personal life and tried to build racketeering around personal assistants.' Some personal assistants, even after viewing videos of Combs beating his longtime girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, had glowing things to say about Combs on cross examination. Once freed, Combs likely to reenter domestic abusers' programme ADVERTISEMENT For Combs, Agnifilo sees a long road ahead once he is freed as he works on personal demons, likely reentering a programme for domestic batterers that he had just started before his arrest. 'He's doing OK,' said Agnifilo, who speaks with him four or five times daily. (Source: Breakfast) He said Combs genuinely desires improvement and 'realises he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on'. 'He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune' that can erase them," he said. 'You can't cover them up." For Agnifilo, a final surprise awaited him after Combs' bail was rejected when a man collapsed into violent seizures at the elevators outside the courtroom. 'I'm like: 'What the hell?'' recalled the lawyer schooled in treating seizures. ADVERTISEMENT Agnifilo straddled him, pulling him onto his side and using a foot to prevent him from rolling backward while a law partner, Jacob Kaplan, put a backpack under the man's head and Agnifilo's daughter took his pulse. 'We made sure he didn't choke on vomit. It was crazy. I was worried about him,' he said. The man was eventually taken away conscious by rescue workers, leaving Agnifilo to ponder a tumultuous day. 'It was like I was getting punked by God,' he said.
