Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay spoke to Minister for Tourism, Forestry and Economic and Regional Development, Stuart Nash, about carbon farming - then North Otago Farmer Jane Smith, for her response to his comments.
On with the show:
Stuart Nash:
In the absence of the Prime Minister, we catchup with the Minister for Tourism, Forestry and Economic and Regional Development.
A North Otago farmer and award-winning environmentalist responds to Minister Nash and says farmers need to understand that the HWEN proposal is linked to the mass afforestation position we find ourselves in.
Peter Nation:
The chief executive of Fieldays joins us as the countdown to Mystery Creek continues - just 28 sleeps to go - until the Nov 30 to Dec 3 event.
