This week on The Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Rabobank's Tim Hunt for a chat about his Horticulture NZ Annual Conference presentation "Trust Us - We're the Food Industry - Risk and Opportunity".
The top interviews this week were:

Todd Muller:
We talk to National's new "voice" for agriculture and primary industries, following Nathan Guy's surprise decision yesterday to step aside from politics.
Is a Tararua farmer and former Black Fern who added another string to her impressive sporting bow when she recently became the first woman to referee a Ranfurly Shield challenge. As we discover she is a woman of many talents - on both the farm and footy paddocks.
Tim Hunt:
We head to Mystery Creek for day two of the Horticulture NZ Annual Conference where Rabobank's GM RaboResearch Food and Agribusiness gives us a sneak preview of his presentation this afternoon - Trust Us - We're the Food Industry - Risk and Opportunity.

The catch up with National's under-siege leader who's had a good week off the back of his party's new cancer policy, a good political poll , a good hit on the PM and the gift that keeps on giving - the Greens.
