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

How are we possibly going to service a burgeoning demand for natives coming from farmers and Government projects? New Zealand Plant Producers chief executive Matthew Dolan will join us to share the industry’s recently hatched action plan that will provide that path. 

The back of the Hawke’s Bay drought might be broken but many Canterbury farmers are continuing to donate surplus feed with 2000 bales of hay and silage heading north to their fellow farming friends and family. Nicky Hyslop has been one of the coordinators of the donations and joins us to discuss why she got involved as what goes around comes around.

A painting created in support of farmers’ mental health will raise funds for the Rural Support Trust and reduce the stigma of depression. Taranaki artist Paul Rangiwahia wrote and produced Top Six Inches and hopes to raise more than $250,000 for the trust. 

Auckland is under mandatory water use restrictions for the first time in a quarter-century and the over-allocated Waikato River doesn't have more to provide. We will discuss Environment Minister David Parker's Resource Management Act reforms to put the environment above all social requirements with ECan councillor Megan Hands.
