Jason Uden and Jeremy Rookes, aka - the Two Farmer Js. Photo / File

Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden spoke to Jamie Mackay about the social media success of The Naked Farmer, a website where Aussie farmers send in nude photos of themselves.

Jamie asked The Two Farmer Js whether they would consider posing in the buff and the decision was a unanimous "no," however they both agree it's for a great cause - farmer mental health.

After a nice chat about nudity the Js move onto a scientific and accurate regional weather report. Rookes says the relentless heat in Central Hawke's Bay has forced him to take shelter in the pool. Uden reports that the Waikato is "looking beautiful" and "primo."

Finally the Two Farmer Js talk about Mycoplasma bovis and the "bureaucracy" surrounding the Ministry for Primary Industries' handling of it.
