Multi-tasker Craig Wiggins writes a shopping list whilst training horses and commentating a rodeo.

Multi-tasker Craig Wiggins writes a shopping list whilst training horses and commentating a rodeo.

Saturday mornings on The Country Early Edition means it's Craig Wiggy Wiggins time. Dom manages to catch up with one of the world's busiest men.

Craig is enjoying the weather in his neck of the woods but it's not all rosy as some areas are still desperate for a bit of rain.

Wiggins has a column in the New Zealand Farmers Weekly which Dom shamefully hasn't read. It's a very good read (catch up with it here).

Craig is passionate about the agricultural industry and he wants a more positive view of rural life presented to the general public.

Have a listen to the full interview in the Soundcloud embed below:
