The Country - Lawn edition

Today on The Country we catch up with Steelfort's John McOviney who kicks off our new promotion where you could win a Ride On mower.

On with the show:

Jeff Grant:

In the absence of Green Party co-leader James Shaw, we enlist the services of a former National Party Chief Whip who is now based in London as New Zealand's Red Meat Representative for the UK and Europe. Today we talk Brexit, gene editing, Winston, Boris and Theresa May!

Chris Russell:

Our Australian correspondent shares his forthright views on gene editing plus we yarn about the drought, giant turnips and all-conquering Roosters.

Geoff Gwyn:

The Director of Response for M. bovis talks about how the spring milk testing survey is tracking and what MPI is doing about detecting the disease in beef herds?

John McOviney:

The chief executive of Steelfort (and Waitomo sheep and beef farmer) gives you the chance to win a Cub Cadet 42 ride-on mower valued at over $5,000.

Peter Newbold:

We take our monthly look at the rural market with the GM of PGG Wrightson Real Estate and ask are dairy farms now a bargain?
