Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with farmers and growers from Nelson and Marlborough to hear how they’re faring after recent flooding.

Plus, Mackay asks Phil Duncan of WeatherWatch if there’s any more rain on the way.

On with the show:

Julian Raine:

The former President of Hort NZ comments on the Nelson flooding (wearing both his horticulture and dairy hats) in terms of the potential impact on the region and the support available.

Blair McLean:

Our Marlborough-based viticulture correspondent updates the flooding on his side of the hill, but says that fortunately, it came at a relatively good time of the farming year calendar.

Tracy Brown:

The chair of DairyNZ comments on the new season’s breakeven milk price ($8.68), the launch of Resilient Pastures at Fieldays, and 60 years of the Economic Survey.

Phil Duncan:

We ask Monday’s weatherman whether there is more rain coming later this week for the sodden regions?
