This year seemed particularly political on The Country, as the rural community expressed concerns over the Government's farming policies, especially freshwater reforms.
Not only that, but there was also a general election and a global pandemic to contend with.
However, the most popular interviews of 2020 tended to veeraway from these topics and focus on diverse issues such as mental health, television appearances and - possibly most famously - tractor driving.
There was one politician in particular whose interviews captured our audience's attention, with three of the top five concerning his antics - the now former Deputy Prime Minister, Winston Peters.
Here are The Country's five most popular interviews of 2020
In a previous interview, Winston Peters caused a bit of a stir by insinuating that anyone could drive a tractor. Here, he didn't back down and reiterated his statement. This turned out to be our most popular interview of 2020.

The former Deputy Prime Minister rounds out the top five of 2020 with another fiery interview. Here he defended himself after being caught out having a cigarette in a non-smoking area at Otago University.
