It's the Best of The Country brought to you by Rabobank and Jamie Mackay who picks the best of last week for your aural entertainment. Jamie catches up with Katie Milne from Federated Farmers, James Ward from Molesworth Station, Miles Hurrell from Fonterra Farm Source, NZ First leader Winston Peters, Rabobank's Hamish Midgley, Fonterra's John Wilson, Australian correspondent Chris Russell and rural commentator Don Carson.

It's The Best of The Country brought to you by Rabobank and Jamie Mackay who picks the best of last week for your aural entertainment:

Katie Milne: We ask Federated Farmers' Adverse Events spokesperson what can be done to help the earthquake-ravaged farmers of North Canterbury and Marlborough?

James Ward: The manager of the 182,000ha Molesworth Station, inland from Kaikoura, says country's biggest farm has escaped relatively unscathed from the earthquakes.

Miles Hurrell: We find the Chief Operating Officer for Fonterra Farm Source in Canterbury as we talk earthquake recovery and the continuing recovery in global dairy prices.

Winston Peters: The New Zealand First leader joins us for his fortnightly "I told you so" segment and we agree to disagree on the dairy recovery.

Hamish Midgley: Rabobank's Head of Business Development looks at how the earthquakes have affected the Marlborough wine region and how Donald Trump could affect our US wine export market.

John Wilson: We track down Fonterra's chairman in China with this week's great news story - a lift in the forecast milk price to $6.

Chris Russell: Our Australian correspondent reflects on his family's connection to the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake and we discuss why craft beer is helping the beleaguered grain industry.

Don Carson: Is a freelance rural commentator who looks back on a huge news week and he proffers another 'grassy knoll' conspiracy theory!
