Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with sheep and beef farmer, and Fireballs Aotearoa citizen scientist, Steve Wyn-Harris, who was delighted to find New Zealand’s 10th meteorite in the South Island’s Mackenzie Country this week.

On with the show:

Darryl Butterick:

This Mid Canterbury dry stock farmer is none too pleased with Environment Canterbury and its communications failures over the fish strandings, and subsequent death, of thousands of fish in the Greenstreet Creek, a tributary of the Ashburton River.

We talk farming and footy with a high-profile Taranaki organic dairy farmer.

Steve Wyn-Harris:

By day he’s a Central Hawke’s Bay sheep and beef farmer. By night, he dons a cape, and he’s a Fireballs Aotearoa citizen scientist. And he’s part of the search party that found New Zealand’s 10th known meteorite this week in the Mackenzie Country.
