Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay catches up with the new interim CEO of Fonterra, Miles Hurrell.

On with the show:

Miles Hurrell:

We talk to the newly appointed interim Chief Executive of Fonterra about the sudden departure, with immediate effect, of his predecessor Theo Spierings. We ask him about his credentials for the top job and whether he wants to be more than just a caretaker.

Winston Peters:

The New Zealand First leader and Deputy PM says "I told you so" when it comes to Fonterra, he reckons Simon Bridges is on a slippery slope and he defends the government's performance over small business confidence and the teachers' strike.

Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:

Is a rural academic who comments on Fonterra's surprise announcement this morning and whether glyphosates cause cancer.

Murray Hartin:

Is an Aussie bush poet and good bugger who talks of the toll the worst drought in 100 years is having on farmers and rural communities across the ditch.
