We hear from a King Country Sheep and Beef Farmer on a creative crusade to combat good farmland being turned into forestry.

Steve Wyn-Harris and Grant McCallum:

Today's panel features a Central Hawkes Bay sheep farmer and a Northland cow cocky, both affected by drought, who give their opinion on whether increased government funding for farmers will make a positive impact.

Tony Laker:

Kieran McAnulty:
