Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Jarden’s head of commodities, Mike McIntyre, who took a closer look at the first Global Dairy Trade auction of the new season.

On with the show:

Christopher Luxon:

The Prime Minister has told UK climate scientists to “send their letters to other countries”, after they accused the government of ignoring scientific evidence over methane emissions.

Plus, we yarn about Winston Peters and David Seymour, Pāmu and NZ Post, Dame Jacinda Ardern’s book, and Fieldays.

Jane Smith:

North Otago farmer and award-winning environmentalist supports Luxon’s response to the climate scientists.

She also comments on the Federated Farmers Banking Survey.

Mike McIntyre:

Jarden’s head of commodities comments on the first GDT auction of the new season.

His commentary: “The positive momentum that we saw coming into the season, right up until the penultimate event, now looks to be lost with the overall event falling 1.6% and several of the key individual products coming under pressure. WMP -3.7%, SMP -1.1%, AMF 1.4%, Butter 0%, BMP -6.1% and Cheese -4.2%.”

Ben Picton:

It’s Acronym Day, and Rabobank’s senior macro strategist comments on falls in the OCR and GDT, and the OECD slashing its annual growth report for the world economy.

Phil Duncan:

Winter’s here this week, and it’s Fieldays next week. We look out a week for a Waikato forecast with WeatherWatch.
