It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by wood. Why? Labour has announced its Emissions Trading Scheme so Jamie has requested a forest theme.
On with the show:
John Law:
Our man at the Met Service talks about wet weather for the North Island and the problems facing those in the path of Hurricane Irma.
Don Carson:
We ask the PR man for New Zealand Forest Owners Association whether a spat is brewing between pastoral farmers and foresters, as agriculture is included in the ETS under a potential Labour government.
The Two Farmer Js:
Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden: Today's panel features two opinionated minor celebrities from different sides of the farm track, who agree on one thing!
Chris Russell:
We salute our Australian correspondent and our cousins across the ditch for their ability to promote lamb.
Barry Soper:
With two weeks to go until the election our political correspondent agrees a week is a long time in politics as Jacinda Ardern appears to be in the driver's seat to be the next PM.
Grant Nisbett:
This week's $100 TAB sports bet of the week sees us backing Sloane Stephens and the All Blacks by 21-30 over Argentina.
