The Country Today - swingers edition

It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by the music of Robert Palmer. This is to celebrate the life of golfing legend Arnold Palmer.

Which is marginally more respectful than remembering the king of golf by comparing his swing to Jamie Mackay's...

Anyway - on with the show: Sir Brian Lochore and Stu Loe are up first.

We talk farming and footy with two well-known farmers in the dry regions of Wairarapa and North Canterbury.

Then Jamie plays "bait the politician" with Damien O'Connor.

Labour's Primary Industry Spokesman gets stuck into the "rock star" economy, Silver Fern Farms, Fonterra and the next leader of the free world.

Alliance Group chairman Murray Taggart ponders the prospects for lamb in 2016-17 season, following his return from a marketing trip to Malaysia, China and Japan.

Finally we have a catch up with Jane Smith and Nadine Porter.

Today's panel debates the latest KPMG agribusiness report that stated that "the primary sector is the second most conservative community within our society, after the clergy"!

Whaaaaat? Surely not! Tune in to find out.
