Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Southland Federated Farmers’ executive member Bernadette Hunt to find out what’s going on between Feds and Fish & Game.

On with the show:

Bernadette Hunt:

Federated Farmers Southland is calling for local farmers to boycott Fish & Game and remove fishing access across their land. We catch up with an executive member of Southland Feds to find out why.

Derek Daniell:

We ask one of New Zealand’s leading sheep breeders if the industry has a future. Are farmers climate change heroes rather than villains? And why should farmers support “Growing Future Farmers”?

Chris Hipkins:

In the interests of political balance, we catch up with the Leader of the Opposition. But are we both wasting our time having this conversation?

John Duffy:

We take our monthly look at the state of the market with the team from PGG Wrightson Livestock.

Chris Russell:

Our Australian correspondent comments on the supermarkets going to war over milk, and Aussies not eating their greens. Plus, could owning a car in urban Australia become more problematic?
