We talk to the man behind the book - Imposter - and his battle with booze, crippling self-doubt and coming out the other side. Sir John Kirwan described it as "a book of great openness and courage".

Rabobank's senior animal proteins analyst comments on the game-changing Delta variant, not only here in New Zealand, but also for our off-shore customers. Plus, we look at this week's GDT auction and this season's red meat prospects.

Shane McManaway:

One of the leading figures in New Zealand agriculture, and the founder of the Zanda McDonald Awards, encourages young ag entrepreneurs and leaders to enter the awards which close on August 31.
