Toby Williams:

Federated Farmers’ meat and wool chairman launches a new campaign, SOS: Save Our Sheep, calling for urgent action to halt the collapse of New Zealand’s sheep industry.

Andrew Hoggard and Grant McCallum:

It’s the “Hoggy and McNational Farmer/Politician Panel”.

On today’s menu, we have Grant’s underpants, the Regulatory Standards Bill, and whether the government is doing enough to halt the relentless onslaught from carbon farming, blanket-planting some of our productive pastoral land.

Tom Young:

Affco’s national livestock manager comments on record red meat prices. But is it enough to save the industry from further decline?

Phil Ropiha:

It’s Stihl Chainsaw Safety Awareness Week, and we have a Stihl MS182 Chainsaw (valued at $555) to give away, as well as some good advice.

Phil Duncan:

Monday’s resident weather expert on flooding in Nelson, some rain coming, and a mild May.
