Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay catches up with Adam Thompson and Grant Farquhar - a couple of exhibitors who are getting ready for Fieldays tomorrow.
On with the show:
Jane Smith:
She’s a North Otago farmer and award-winning environmentalist. Today we ask her if she thinks we’rea “very negative, wet, whiny, inward-looking country”? Have we lost the plot and do we need to get our mojo back? And what does she make of National’s new plan for reducing emissions?
We continue our series on Old Young Farmers of the Year. Today we head back to 2004 and a then Southland sheep farmer with an interesting connection to the 2022 Grand Final winner.
Hunter McGregor:
Our Shanghai-based correspondent warns New Zealand farmers not to expect the Chinese economy to recover any time soon in 2023.
