Today on The Country catches up with Heather Stacy for a chat about hogget which Jamie Mackay reckons is the best sheep meat around.

On with the show:

Andrew Hoggard:

We find the Vice President of Federated Farmers in Wellington and we ask if M. bovis can still be eradicated plus we discuss David Parker's comments about capping nutrient discharge limits.

The GM Livestock for the Alliance Group discusses the promising outcomes from the recent hogget meat pilot programme and looks at the issues facing the beef industry as the M.bovis cull causes some killing capacity issues at a time of the year when space is traditionally tight.

Chris Russell:

Our Australian correspondent comments on drought ravaged farmer who wants to adopt his dairy cows plus we talk the future of lab-grown meat and crocodile farming.

Simon Bridges:

The National leader quite rightly questions Winston's 900 million spending splurge offshore when people here in New Zealand can't afford to visit a doctor.

Joe Wheeler and Ben Smith:

Courtesy of Farmlands, fans of farming and footy, we take our weekly look at Super Rugby as we await the arrival of an All Black superstar in the studio.
