It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by Kenny Rogers because Grant Nisbett said so alright???

On with the show: Let's have some weather with Lisa Murray. Our Met Service Weather forecaster says things are looking up following this week's vicious sucker punch from Mother Nature.

Don Carson is up next. This week our freelance rural commentator comments on snow at lambing time, water quality and the rugby.

Two for the price of one with Graeme and Graham Smith aka The G Spot. Today our panel are very excited about being in Hamilton!

Next we track down the former president of the New Zealand Federation of Wool Merchants Jim Paterson. He's in the UK so Jamie makes him talk about Brexit and a depressed wool market. Nice.

Politics with Barry Soper is our next interview. Today Soper looks back on the week where Auckland house prices reached the $1 million mark plus Nikki Kaye, Winston Peters and Colin Craig were all in the news.

Finally it's our DJ for the afternoon Grant Nisbett. This week's $100 TAB sports bet of the week sees us backing the ABs over Argentina in Hamilton by a margin of 11-30 points.

In between all these serious farming and agricultural issues we have the usual hard-hitting topics such as the location of Dom's missing coffee and Jamie's running prowess.
