On with the show:

Christopher Luxon:

The Prime Minister comments on another drop in the GDT Auction, the US Business Summit, and his farm visit to Hawke’s Bay today.

Plus, he ponders whether Pāmu is on the chopping block and whether it’s realistic to hold local body rate rises to 2-4%.

Wairarapa farmer and one of New Zealand’s leading sheep breeders.

Today, he ponders the state of farming and our economy.

Jen Corkran:

RaboResearch senior animal protein analyst on beef and lamb prices at record highs and why their prospects are so good for this season.
