When The Country's Jamie Mackay is looking for sage advice about money he looks no further than Sir Eion Edgar.

This week Sir Eion gives Jamie his informed opinion on the sheep meat industry and the Silver Fern Farms Shanghai Maling deal.

Jamie quizzes Sir Eion on the dairy industry which has been dominating recently, but is it on the road to recovery?

Finally, we get a bit of an inside scoop on Sir Eion Edgar's advice for anyone who owns property. Should you fix or float your mortgage?

Have a listen to the full interview in the Soundcloud embed below:
