Federated Farmers Forestry spokesman is pleased that the Government has announced changes to forestry rules that will put power back in the hands of local communities and make slash removal a requirement for erosion-prone land.

Laura Murdoch:

Monthly here on The Country, we catch up with a Farmstrong farmer for some handy hints on how to look after the top paddock. Today it’s the turn of the “Cow Whisperer”, a Southland accountant turned dairy farmer.

Chris Russell:

On the agenda with our Australian correspondent today is the costly live export ban, cattle prices crashing but droving continuing, drought, and the NRL Grand Final.
