We preview an observational reality show coming up on Māori Television tomorrow night called 'Shear Bro'. It's a behind the scenes look at shearing, specifically over the summer shear season. It follows legendary shearing whanau, the Paewai Mullins who are based in Dannevirke and today we catch with the matriarch, Mavis.

Don Nicolson and David Broome:

Today's panel features two former Feds and on the agenda is fake meat, trade wars and the Young Farmer Grand Final.
