The Country's Ag Person of the Year Winston Peters chews the fat with Jamie Mackay on today's show.

Mackay asks the deputy Prime Minister what he would say to critics who said he was a bit duplicitous around coalition negotiations, especially considering he served the National Party with papers the day before the election.

He then asks how Peters' relationship with the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is going.

Peters also talks about issues around water storage, and how NZ First will look after farmers.
