Listen Later

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

Two island nations, despite being on opposite sides of the globe, New Zealand and Ireland have long been connected by a shared focus on innovation and both continue to push boundaries in the agri-tech sector. Gail Hendricks from Fieldays will explain more.

Global news that traces of glyphosate have been found in New Zealand honey is prompting concern for our high-value manuka industry. We will get an update from Apiculture New Zealand chief executive Karin Kos as well as celebrate the Innovation Award win of Hivesite, an automatic, chemical-free varroa mite application technology.

An increasing number of farmers are turning to alternatives to traditional paths to farm ownership as banks tighten lending criteria. Rabobank national farm ownership operations manager Brent Irving joins us to discuss how we can get more young people into farm ownership positions.

The tahr cull has proceeded onwards into our national parks despite the hunter protests and the High Court injunction. Tahr Foundation spokesman Willie Duley will discuss what's next in saving the animals from slaughter and how Crown pastoral lease properties are next.
