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?
JamesWard: 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!
