Shane McManaway is the chief executive of Allflex. He chatted to The Country's Jamie Mackay today from the Strategic Link Conference in Wellington about a bit of dairy and a pest in the Wairarapa causing pea growers a headache.

The Pea Weevil not only affects growers but is an issue for anybody wanting to plant some peas in their vege garden. McManaway says the real issue is how on earth this pest got into New Zealand in the first place.

The other pests in the news at the moment are the predators ruining our native wildlife. Jamie asks Shane what he thinks of the Government's plan to get rid of them all by 2050.
