It's the best of the best with our mates from Rabobank. This week's interviews are: Rod Oram, Damien O’Connor, Jills Angus Burney and Jack Nicol, Winston Peters, Angus Gidley-Baird and Julian Raine.

Here's the best of the week that was with our mates from Rabobank and Mr Jamie Mackay who runs The Country...(on air that is).

This week's interviews are:

Rod Oram: Is a business journalist and former Agricultural Communicator of the Year who comments on the state of New Zealand agriculture and the can-do attitude of Kiwis defending our shores against a potential Japanese invasion during WWII.

Damien O'Connor: Labour's Primary Industry Spokesman gets all fired up about Bill English and Nick Smith and their respective positions on drugs in the workforce and water quality.

Jills Angus Burney and Jack Nicol: Ahead of this week's Golden Shears, we preview a documentary following the paths of several woman shearers making their mark in Masterton.

Angus Gidley-Baird: Is a Rabobank senior animal proteins analyst, who discusses the opportunities for New Zealand to increase sales of animal proteins products into the Japanese market.

Julian Raine: The President of Horticulture New Zealand talks about good times for the flourishing industry and why he's been able to sell 'craft' milk in glass bottles for premium prices.
