It's the Best of The Country with our mates at Rabobank. Jamie Mackay selects the best of the week for your ears' entertainment. Except Jamie has skived off this week - so Dom George is in charge.
Here are the week's top interviews:
Rod Slater: The CEO of Beef and Lamb New Zealand previewed National Lamb Day, when we celebrate the 135th anniversary of the birth of our export meat industry.
Damien O'Connor: Labour's Primary Industry Spokesman begrudgingly praises the PM but is less complimentary about the state of the meat and wool industries.
Winston Peters: The New Zealand First leader goes in search of lamb at the Green Parrot and points the finger at National for lamb prices and the Northland drought.
Brent Irving: Rabobank's Equity Partnership expert discusses the heightened level of enquiry from investors around the bank's farm ownership option strategy.
Bill English: We catch up with PM on his way south to survey the Christchurch fires and take the opportunity to ask him about Pike River and his relationship with Winston Peters.
Doug Avery and Sarah von Dadelszen: Today's panel features two high-profile farmers from two of the country's driest regions, both of whom warn against the powerful politically-correct Green movement.
