Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with NZ First Leader Winston Peters about the state of the world.

On with the show:

Winston Peters:

The Prime Minister is in China, so we spoke to the NZ First leader and former Deputy Prime Minister.

We talk about the perilous state of the world geopolitically, a trade deal with Indonesia, missing Fieldays, his political adversaries, the Green Party and the Green Parrot.

Jane Smith:

We let an outspoken North Otago farmer off the chain.

She reckons we should be more worried about Global War-ing than Global Warming.

We also talked about the Green Party’s fiscal folly released yesterday.

And we finished by talking bull and a record price for an Angus Black Beauty.

Mike McIntyre:

Jarden’s Head of Commodities comments on last night’s GDT Auction - the second of the new 25/26 season - down 1% (WMP down 2.1%).

Plus, we ask if Fonterra was too optimistic with its $10 opening forecast milk price.

Warwick Catto and Jamie Strang:

We catch up with two iconic and long-standing judges for tonight’s Ballance Farm Environment Awards in Wellington.
