This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Rabobank dairy analyst Emma Higgins for a look at the latest Global Dairy Trade auction results.
Rabobank Best of The Country will take a break over the festive season and will be back January 19, 2020.
Thisweek's top interviews were:
Todd Muller:
National's Agriculture Spokesman has a crack at Te Papa and pays tribute to our primary sector with export revenue up 3.3 per cent on the previous year, forecast to reach a record $47.9 billion for the year ended June 2020.
The Head of Marketing and Communications at Te Papa responds to farmers who have hit out in anger over the National Museum's use of fake stream water, calling the move a disgrace and accusing Te Papa of having a biased anti-farming agenda.
We ask Rabobank's Dairy Analyst if she gave the commodity market the "commentator's Kiss of death" after lifting the bank's forecast milk price to $7.60 ahead of this week's 5.1 per cent drop in the GDT auction!
Jim Hopkins:
Is a rural raconteur who offers his wrap of 2019 and names his Ag Person of the Year - without having to look too far from home.
Simon Bridges:
We ask National's leader if 2019 has been a year of delivery for him and who is his Politician of the Year?
