Stability is the overriding feeling as Andrew Partridge updated Flow listeners on the latest from the wool markets on the Market Day edition of the Country Viewpoint.

The market recorded an overall rise for the second consecutive series, with fleece wool attracting the most buyer attention this week.

The national offering was smaller than the sum total of bales originally rostered, due in part to the
6.1% withdrawn prior to sale.

Dr Elizabeth Jackson from Curtin University provided the details of transport company Scott's Refrigerated Transport and the knock-on effect it has had and will continue to have on regional businesses.

Dan Crouch speaks with Dr Jade Murray on world-first app aiding sleeping patters for shift workers.

Murray's work has been published in the journal, Digital Health, it focused on the importance of sleep for shift workers who play critical roles in enabling the nation to continue functioning.

The research honed in on 27 shift workers who trialled the app over a fortnight.

Those who participated in the trial mainly consisted of intensive care and emergency department nurses at high risk of shift work disorder commonly experiencing insomnia and excessive sleepiness.

Rob Moffatt, generational butcher and Co-Founder of ButcherCrowd speaks with Dan Crouch on the Country Viewpoint on the importance of organic meets and supporting Aussie farmers.

Rob grew up surrounded by farming communities, having a heritage of four generations before him working in some capacity with Australian cattle. His parents, in addition to being cattle farmers, were also able to give him further insight into logistical and business operations, having interests in transport businesses. Married with two boys, Rob has a strong commitment to his rural communities, dedicated to providing his customers with the highest quality meat and wild caught seafood, while supporting Australian farmers.

Andrew Partridge from Michell Wool phoned in for his Country Viewpoint Market Day edition market report after a positive week on the market front.

After two successive weeks of losses and three without an overall increase, the Australian wool market recorded an overall rise in this series.

Leading war historian and battlefield guide Mat McLachlan joined Flow FM to talk all things ANZAC Day. Mat detailed his experiences with those close to him being involved in war, the things which sparked his interest in war history, and his plans for ANZAC Day. Mat also expressed his happiness with the willingness by the younger generation to honour the ANZACs.

Dan Crouch caught up with Dr Ray Kerkhove on the Country Viewpoint, who authored How They Fought: How They Fought: Pioneering research reveals ingenuity and forgotten successes of Aboriginal resistance.

One of the key focus areas of the segment brings to light the historical significance of the Rufus River, one of the catchment areas of the Murray-Darling Basin in the Flow FM network.

Kherkove specialises in Indigenous history and culture and has worked for almost four decades with First Nations groups. He's written a dozen books, a score of peer-reviewed articles, and numerous heritage reports. He mostly works as an independent consultant with groups including universities, local governments, art organisations, museums and Aboriginal groups.

Lecturer in Animal Nurtition and Metabolism at the University of Adelaide, Dr Mariana Caetano, discusses on FlowFM the initiative to add seaweed and other supplements to cattle feed to reduce methane emissions, and the methods that may be used to help farmers monitor emissions.
