Jamie Mackay has joined The Country's infamous road trip. Photo / File

Today on The Country, Rowena is in the hot seat as Jamie Mackay hits the road with Lashes for the Farmside road show, which has turned into a bit of a boys' trip.

On with the show:

Phil Duncan:

We ask our Weatherwatch man if we'll need brollies at Fieldays and what's the go with Trump Meeting Kim Jong-un today?

Peter Nation:

We ask the chief executive of Fieldays how preparation is going for the big event, and we chat about today's Australasian Fieldays Association AGM with 60 members in attendance.

Braeden Whitelock:

The Farmside Tour to Fieldays ventured down to the Whitelocks' farm this morning where Jamie caught up with former Junior All Black, (and father of All Blacks Luke, Sam and George, and Crusader Adam), Braeden Whitelock.

Tony Laker:

The Southern USA Farming and Sightseeing Tour – a man who's toured with Jamie many a time spills the beans about what he's really like on tour and how he's changed!

Clive Akers:

We catch up with a Manawatu Farmer who helps run the New Zealand Rugby Museum.
