It's the Best of the Country brought to you by Rabobank. Jamie selects his choicest cuts from the week that was for your listening delight!

Richard Loe: Is a Canterbury farmer and former All Blacks hard man who's concerned about the price of lamb for the coming season and the state of Springbok rugby.

Sir David Fagan: We catch up with shearing royalty as the countdown continues to the World Shearing and Woolhandling Champs in Invercargill next February 9-11.

Winston Peters: The New Zealand First leader is at his curmudgeonly best when talking about Silver Fern Farms and the lift in the Fonterra forecast payout.

Rob Hewett: We give the Silver Fern Farms Chairman the opportunity to refute Winston's claims that the Shanghai Maling deal could see SFF jilted at the altar!

John Wilson: We kick off the show by going straight to the Fonterra chairman who's buoyed the cooperative's record annual result but very wary of the need to increase returns to farmers.

Bruce Weir: Rabobank's Northern North Island Regional Manager reviews the bank's latest Rural Confidence Survey which has seen farmer confidence surge higher.
