Today's show is dedicated to the late great Steve Sumner. Interviewees are: Nathan Guy, Chris Brandolino, Rebecca Keoghan, Emma Higgins and Andrew Little.
It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by the tunes of 1982. Why? This is when the late great Steve Sumner lead the All Whites to the World Cup.
On with the show: Nathan Guy joins us first. The Minister for Primary Industriescomments on the latest GDT result, the state of the sheep industry, drought declaration in Northland and the World Shearing Champs in Invercargill.
Chris Brandolino gives us a glimpse into his childhood before delivering the weather today. NIWA's weather forecaster looks back on a long-time interest in meteorology and forward to the dry regions of the North Island getting some much-needed rain.
Then the 2016 Dairy Woman of the Year Rebecca Keoghan encourages other women in the industry to enter the 2017 competition which close on March 11.
Rabobank's Dairy Analyst Emma Higgins refrains somewhat from her December 15 that the payout for the 2016/17 season could be "in the high sixes".
We wrap up the show with Andrew Little. We take a trip down memory lane to 1982 with the Labour leader and reflect on some get one-liners in the House yesterday.
