Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Labour leader Chris Hipkins to ask him what his Budget would look like, and where his party’s agriculture policy is.
On with the show:
Wayne Langford:
The president of Federated Farmers on the love-in with Labour.

Why the love-in with Federated Farmers?
And why are we not seeing any agricultural policy from Labour?
