It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by a thoroughly chastised Jamie Mackay.
Listener Dianna took umbrage with Mackay's frivolous comments about Donald Trump and took Jamie to task in a well-written and succinct email.
Words such as "immature", "juvenile" and "ill informed" were bandied about.
So Jamie has decided to be incredibly serious for today's show.
On with the show: John Key is up first. The PM ponders the UN, TPP and the perils of not listening to Aunty Helen's advice.
Dr William Rolleston flows the PM. We catch up with the President of Federated Farmers at the World Farmers Organisation meeting in Geneva where he's stepped into the top job!
Rabobank dairy analyst Emma Higgins is in a positive frame of mind. She reviews the bank's latest Dairy Quarterly Report and makes a stunning $6 call for the 2016-17 season!
What's happening across the ditch? Our Australian correspondent Chris Russell laments the passing of Max Walker and talks about Brexit, flooding, ruined crops and backing the Sharks in the NRL final.
Finally we keep things serious with Joe Wheeler. Courtesy of Tru-Test we take our weekly look at provincial footy and beyond with a hard-case Highlander in Japan.
In between all the rural action Dom and Jamie try to keep things professional and sombre to placate the wrath of Dianna.
