This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Rabobank’s senior agriculture analyst, Emma Higgins, to find out more about the bank’s Global Farmers Master Class.

The week's top interviews were:

Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:

Rabobank’s senior agriculture analyst looks back on the 10-day Global Farmers Master Class which saw 28 farmers from five continents and 12 different countries gather from around the world to address global food security.

Shane Jones:

The Prince of the Provinces now finds himself back from the political wilderness and back in Parliament. We asked the self-titled Matua Shane about his war with woke and Te Pāti Māori, and what he will do for the provinces, wearing his Minister of Regional Development hat.

Nicola Grigg:
