Today on The Country Jamie Mackay and Rowena Duncum mercilessly tease Sam "Lashes" Casey whose hunting inexperience has resulted in an embarrassing case of "Scope Eye" - ouch.

On with the show:

Chris Brandolino:

NIWA's principal weather scientist says the deep south is still the driest part of the country with little respite forecast for the next 10 days.

Jacinda Ardern:

Doug Avery:

We catch up with Marlborough's Resilient Farmer in the deep south as he helps farmers recover from drought with seminars in Balclutha and Tapanui.
