Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Sarah Perriam, who, along with her sister Elle, is encouraging farmers to 'Speak Up' about their mental health.

On with the show:

Phil Duncan:

Monday's resident weather expert tells us why the shadow of Australia's drought is worrying for New Zealand. Plus we talk American politics and how he got an invite to the American Ambassador's Independence Day Party in Wellington.

The chief executive of Fieldays wraps the 51st running of the National Agricultural Fieldays at Mystery Creek.
