Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay, Sam "Lashes" Casey and Joe Wheeler ponder who should be the next Highlander to co-host Farmside Footy for 2020.

Todd Muller:

We find National's Agriculture spokesman taking in all the action at the Southern Field Days as we chew the fat over Jacinda's last-minute visit, coronavirus, floods, droughts, OCR and Winston.

Hunter McGregor:

Is an ex-pat Kiwi in the meat export industry in Shanghai who offers us a first-hand look at how coronavirus is affecting the Chinese economy and the flow-on effects for New Zealand farmers.
