Jamie Mackay takes TVNZ's "Sunday" to task over their portrayal of dairy farming. Interviews are with: Andrew Hoggard, John Dawson, Steve Wyn-Harris, Grant McCallum, Daryl Jensen and Phil Duncan.
It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by Sunday. Hang on...it's Monday...what's going on? Yesterday TVNZ's Sunday aired a show called "The Price of Milk?" which has definitely rubbed farmers the wrong way and they've taken to social media and the airwaves toexpress their displeasure.
On with the show: Andrew Hoggard and John Dawson: We attempt to add some balance to a very unbalanced Sunday television show with the Dairy Chair of Federated Farmers and a Waikato-based farm management consultant.
Steve Wyn-Harris and Grant McCallum: Today's second panel features a Central Hawkes Bay sheep farmer and a Northland cow cocky - both of whom are up in arms over the portrayal of farming on the Sunday show.
Daryl Jensen: The Bay of Plenty President of Federated Farmers updates the flooding in Edgecumbe and the wider eastern Bay of Plenty region.
Phil Duncan: As if last week wasn't bad enough for the North Island, Monday's resident weather expert warns the incoming Cyclone Cook could be potentially as bad a rain event as Bola.
