Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford spoke to The Country's Jamie Mackay today.

Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford spoke to The Country's Jamie Mackay today.

Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford, who says he’s focused on the Feds, rather than a political career.

On with the show:

Wayne Langford:

The president of Federated Farmers addresses rumours that he is considering a career in national (or should that be Labour?) politics.

Plus, we also look at the controversial RMA reforms (is there a water tax in there?) and the submission process.
