ANZ's rural economist Con Williams. Or as Jamie Mackay calls him "The Grim Reaper". Nice.

ANZ's rural economist Con Williams. Or as Jamie Mackay calls him "The Grim Reaper". Nice.

Con Williams is ANZ's Rural Economist; he had a chat to The Country's Jamie Mackay today for his view on the GDTA and the prospects for lamb in the coming season.
