The Two Farmer Js are fired up today.

Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden caught up with The Country's Jamie Mackay to give their strong opinions on the spread of Mycoplasma bovis.

Rookes is concerned with the security of New Zealand's border control.

"Stop killing cows, put that compensation money that you're not going to have to spend into our bloody borders because it's far too important to us."

Meanwhile Uden has a bone to pick with Federated Farmers and the National Party.
