Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with the self-titled Matua Shane Jones, for a no holds barred conversation about what gets the Prince of the Provinces' back up.
On with the show:
Grant Weller:
We head to heartland Southland to the top of the Hokonui Hills where the2012 winner of the Ballance Farm Environment Awards is battling blizzard-like conditions for lambing and calving.
He's back! The Prince of the Provinces. The self-titled Matua Shane Jones. And it's no holds barred as we discuss wrong tree, wrong place, Dr Rod Carr, the Māori caucus, and the desecration of a carving in Kaitaia.
Karen Williams:
This Wairarapa arable farmer (and former vice president of Federated Farmers) says her cropping farm is more suitable for growing rice at the moment rather than grain.
