The Country Today - Joey and Jimi edition

It's the whole show in one go! Today's music is brought to you by the legendary Jimi Hendrix. Why? The legendary Joey Wheeler is in the studio and Hey Joe is the only Hendrix song The Country host Jamie Mackay knows.

We've also got a camera in the studio filming all the on-air/off-air antics. Luckily no one swears or yells...ahem.

On with the show! First up with have a triple threat for you; Jimi Hendrix, Nathan Penny and Joe Wheeler. ASB's rural economist Penny comments on a good Global Dairy Trade auction last night, whilst sandwiched between rock and rugby legends. Not literally.

Next up is Miles Hurrell. Fonterra's Chief Operating Officer for Farm Source. He reviews the latest GDT auction which resulted in a 6.6% rise in dairy commodity prices, while whole milk powder lifted 9.9%. Whoop!

Following that we have The Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy. He ponders the big farming issues of the day.

Then it's NIWA's weather forecaster Chris Brandolino warns of some serious snow coming our way.

Everyone's a winner on The Country...especially if Jamie lets you away with an incorrect answer on the Tru-Test Trivial Pursuit giveaway. Enjoy your Tru-Test Stick Reader Ben Schnackenberg!

Tony Laker let's us know how to join Dick Tayler on the Farming and Footy Tour in November following the All Blacks to the USA, Ireland, France and Italy.

Finally it's West Coast cow cocky Andy Thompson. He talks farming, footy and the Curse of Devlin.
