Sarah's Country

FULL SHOW (22 June) Seizing every opportunity that we can


Listen Later

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


New Zealand negotiators are now demanding the United Kingdom disown eye-wateringly high tariffs in the latest UK-NZ post-Brexit deal which has previously shut out NZ dairy and beef. Former trade negotiator Charles Finny will update us on how we can get a high-quality free-trade agreement with one of the largest importers of dairy.



Growth in Waikato’s sheep milking sector has jumped with seven newly converted farms to start production this spring and there's strong interest from Canterbury farmers to follow suit and convert. Maui Milk general manager Peter Gatley joins us to explore the opportunities.


Forestry Minister Shane Jones defends criticism of the Foresters Amendment Bill that requires forest owners to direct a portion of log supplies to domestic processors, interfering with their existing commercial arrangements.


A Canterbury pair has outshone 13 other teams to take out the title as 2020 FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year. Jack Coakley and Mac Williams from St Bede’s College will join us after being crowned the winners following a week of challenges.
