Chanelle Purser and Chelsea Millar are drawn into Jamie Mackay's Pokémon Go obsession on today's show.

Chanelle Purser and Chelsea Millar are drawn into Jamie Mackay's Pokémon Go obsession on today's show.

Let's catch up on a bit of social media in agriculture on The Country with today's panel, Chelsea Millar and Chanelle Purser.

Chelsea Millar is not only a social media expert but also a newly-appointed board member to the Young Farmers.

Chanelle Purser is a West Otago dairy farmer, fashionista and Queen of Twitter, which is a much more majestic title than 'serial tweeter' which Jamie usually brands her with.

Today's hot topic is a predator free New Zealand by 2050. Chanelle reckons people should go 'old school' and get out hunting.

Unfortunately this leads to an in-depth discussion about the perils of Pokémon Go and a debate on its potential longevity. Seriously Mackay, give it a rest!

A more sensible topic is Facebook v Twitter: what are the differences and which is best for rural New Zealand?

To round off the interview Chelsea fills us in on her new role with the Young Farmers and Chanelle has some fashion tips for men everywhere.

If you listen very carefully you may even hear Jamie Mackay praise his on air producer Dom Boy George...
