Today on The Country Jamie Mackay investigates Fonterra's loss of $196 million.
On with the show:
Sir Peter Gluckman:
We ask the PM's outgoing Chief Scientist, Sir Peter Gluckman, about his comments suggesting it was time for a public debate on the use of GMOs to combat GHG emissions, byfighting climate change with GE grasses.
Fonterra's new chairman comments on an annual result that has disappointed farmers, shareholders and Shane Jones alike – who reckons Fonterra's "top earners don't deserve the minimum wage".
Katie Milne:
The President of Federated Farmers comes out of her enforced internment in the milking shed to address the two big issues of the day – Fonterra's annual result and the use, or otherwise, of GMOs to combat climate change.
