Today on The Country, it's a very busy day for the team as Rowena Duncum reports live from the Hawke's Bay A&P Show and Andy Thompson gets to grips with the Government's latest decision on the ETS.

On with the show:

Damien O'Connor:

The Minister for Agriculture comments on a big day for farming with the Government's ETS decision to adopt a scheme which means farmers won't be taxed on agricultural emissions until 2025, if at all.

Andrew Hoggard:
