Today on The Country we take a look at the latest results from the Global Dairy Trade Auction with Rob Spurway and Emma Higgins.

On with the show:

Jacinda Ardern:

The PM ponders the perils of politics across the ditch, a pay freeze for big earners in the public sector, net migration numbers, goat milk for baby Neve and how the First Bloke is handling life as a house husband.

Rob Spurway:

Fonterra's COO of Global Operations reviews the disappointing GDT auction overnight (-3.6%) but says it was not all bad news.

Chris Brandolino:

NIWA's weather forecaster, on the eve of his departure to the USA, talks about a northern hemisphere heat wave and a benign late winter/early spring for New Zealand farmers.

Anthony Mackaiser:

We talk to a former media manager of the Springboks about a beer that carries his name and about the state of South African farming now that government has begun the process of seizing land from white farmers.

Emma Higgins:

We ask Rabobank's dairy analyst whether it's too early to push the panic button following yet another fall in the GDT auction overnight and the resultant "recalibration of fat".
