This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay spoke to Rabobank chief executive Todd Charteris about why the bank has partnered with Silver Fern Farms on a sustainability-linked financing facility.

The week's top interviews were:

Matt Chisholm:

He's a fair dinkum TV celebrity and Central Otago hobby farmer who had just been appointed the inaugural Ambassador for the Rural Support Trust. We reckoned his "earthy" honesty and humour was a perfect fit for the role.

Miles Hurrell:

Fonterra's chief executive commented on a good GDT auction overnight (plus 1.5 per cent), the rationale behind the co-op's share buyback, and whether He Wake Eke Noa got the Fonterra tick of approval.

Jane Smith:

We got a farmer's response to the He Waka Eke Noa partnership's recommendations and it would be an understatement to say this North Otago award-winning environmentalist was far from impressed!

Todd Charteris:

The chief executive of Rabobank explained why the bank had partnered with Silver Fern Farms on a sustainability-linked financing facility, plus we talked about He Waka Eke Noa's recommendations and the SOPI (Situation and Outlook for Primary Industries) Report.

Jim Hopkins:

Our resident rural raconteur on his beloved and historic hometown of Oamaru hosting the SIDE Conference and why he had a "beef" with the accounting around ruminant GHG emissions.
