Thanks to Harry Nash for this great shot on the farm in Central Hawkes Bay.

It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by Brexit, Shexit and Wet, Wet, Wet.

Yes the appalling music continues as Dom decides to play songs he believes Jamie would have thrashed during his salad days at Hokonui Gold.

Feast your ears on such middle of the road beauties as Seal's Kiss from a Rose and Hootie and the Blowfish's Let her Cry. Oh the humanity.

We do have an action-packed show for you today despite the mild musical accompaniment.

Vice-President of North Canterbury Federated Farmers, Dan Hodgen is here to chat about drought relief for the region.
