Today on The Country, the team decided to show their appreciation for those doing it tough in the city, by launching a care package giveaway for people in Level 4 lockdown.

The co-founder of farmer protest group Groundswell joins us to discuss the finer details of "The Mother of all Protests" scheduled for Sunday, November 21.

Simon Limmer:

The chief executive of Silver Fern Farms helps us (along with Emerson's) launch a Care Package for our Auckland friends stuck in Level 4 lockdown. Plus, we look at the operational Covid-related challenges around processing plants, labour and shipping. Then there's the good news - record prices!
