It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by the Global Dairy Trade result and the Who. Why? Legendary Who drummer Keith Moon died today so Jamie and Dom are paying tribute by playing their greatest hits.

On with the show: Firs up we have Miles Hurrell. Fonterra's Farm Source Chief Operating Officer reviews last night's positive Global Dairy Trade auction which resulted in a 7.7% increase.

Next it's the turn of Nathan Perenially Positive Penny. We ask ASB's rural economist, the man we've affectionately coined Pollyanna Penny, if he now prefers to be called 'The Oracle' following another good GDT auction result.

What's up with Winston Peters? The New Zealand First leader says the Nats have deserted the provinces in favour of Auckland money traders and housing speculators.

The we have a weather update with Chris Brandolino. NIWA's weather forecaster warns us of a short but sharp polar blast heading our way. Brrr.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw says he can't afford an Auckland House and that he wants to work in unison with farmers on water quality.

Then we caught up with chief executive of LIC Wayne McNee who comments on the state of the dairy industry and his well performed forward pack.

Finally it's the turn of Andy Thompson. This week our West Coast cow cocky comments on the GDT result, Winston and Richie!
