Today's show is brought to you by the sounds of Don Henley. Jamie talks to Miles Hurrell, the Chief Operating Officer for Fonterra Farm Source in Canterbury about earthquake recovery and the continuing recovery in global dairy prices. Winston Peters joins us for his fortnightly “I told you so” segment and we agree to disagree on the dairy recovery. Meanwhile, Culverden cow cocky Justin Slattery says thanks to great community spirit. ASB’s Rural Economist Nathan Penny reckons the $6 Payout Party at Pollyanna Penny’s is a done deal and it’s now a question of who’s paying! We catch up with Crowe Horwath’s Head of Corporate Agribusiness and bloodstock specialist Hayden Dillon at the Karaka sales from where he says the bloodstock industry is in fine fettle, and we wrap up with NIWA's Chris Brandolino who says quake-ravaged areas can expect little by way of respite from Mother Nature over the next couple of days when it comes to the weather.
