Today's show is brought to you by many different countdowns. Soundtrack supplied by hair metal band Europe's biggest hit. Interviews are with: Phil Duncan, Murray Brown, Steve Wyn-Harris, Grant McCallum, Nigel Woodhead and Neal Wallace.

It's the whole show in one go! Break out the hairspray - today's show is brought to you by hair metal band Europe and their hit single The Final Countdown. Why is Jamie treating us to such an epic track? He's counting down to the final clash between the Lions and the All Blacks.

On with the show: Phil Duncan: We ask Monday's resident weather expert whether Dry July is going to be a Wet July?

Murray Brown: The General Sales Manager of the Alliance Group celebrates this country's first shipment of chilled lamb to China.

Steve Wyn-Harris and Grant McCallum: Today's panel features a Central Hawkes Bay sheep farmer and a Northland cow cocky and on the agenda are bridge bribes, baby possums and rugby.

Nigel Woodhead: Three sleeps to go and then it's off to Palmerston North and Fielding for the FMG Young Farmer Grand Final. Today we catch up with the Otago/Southland region winner.

Neal Wallace: We look at the big stories in this week's issue of the New Zealand Farmers Weekly.
