Welcome to another episode of Sarah’s Country. Sarah is joined again by some great guests to talk about the matters that matter most.

New Zealand’s wine export market has been hit hard by on-premise sales struggling with shut restaurants and bars in the United States, however, Delegat profits are up by 37%. We get a market update from NZ Winegrowers chief executive Philip Gregan and find out how vineyard staff storages are affecting pruning.

There is no free pass for market gardens in their removal from the national freshwater rules limiting nitrogen losses. Between a rock and a hard place is Woodhaven Gardens near Levin, where owner Emma Clarke is also a Manawatu-Whanganui regional councillor. She shares her views and recommendations.

The bull sale season was comparable to previous years despite covid-19 and commercial buyers were pleased to still find suitable animals amid some record-breaking prices. Carrfields livestock agent and auctioneer Neville Clark will join us for his take on the season.

After an on-farm accident that nearly killed him Northland farmer Chris Biddles will join us as he shares his story of how all the health and safety precautions couldn’t save him because stress was the major contributor and the latest Farmstrong research has found that is the case in 58% of ACC farmer claims.
