Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with NZ First leader Winston Peters.

Mackay asks whether Peters is in danger of losing farmer votes over his stance on the FTA with India.

On with the show:

Winston Peters:

We ask the NZ First leader and former Deputy Prime Minister if he’s a wily old nationalistic crocodile “dog whistling” over the Indian free trade agreement (FTA) and immigration.

And is he in danger of losing farmer votes over his stance on the FTA?

David Birkett:

The Federated Farmers arable chairman, who grows wheat, barley and vegetable seeds in Leeston, just south of Christchurch, said growers should be harvesting but are sitting on their hands as Canterbury has suffered another tough harvesting season.

Brian de Lore:

With the Karaka yearling sales this week, we talk to the author of The Horsemakers – a book which places the breeders, the people behind the thoroughbred horses, at the centre of the story.

Chris Russell:

We ask our Australian correspondent why he’s literally sitting in the Murray River.
