In the absence of the chief executive of Fieldays we haul in, at short notice, the chairman of Zespri to join and the GM of the Waikato Coromandel Drug Detection Agency.

Fiona Gower:

We catch up with the Port Waikato-based National President of Rural Women New Zealand to find out what her organisation is doing to help rural women through the Covid-19 lockdown and what are some of issues facing women in the provinces.
