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

Kiwi sheep farmers value their sheep dogs as their hardest workers on the farm. Imagine if dogs became robots? That reality is here thanks to the NZ software company Rocos. Chief executive David Inggs joins us to find out what makes Spot better than the real thing.

The deer industry remains cautious of the Government’s latest freshwater policy decisions given there is little expertise outside of the deer industry about how to minimise the impacts of deer on the environment. Deer Industry NZ chairman Ian Walker joins us to discuss his concern.

Uncertainty, high stakes and small margins have underpinned farmers’ stress for generations. Nuffield scholar Corrigan Sowman joins us to share what he found was the best lesson for thriving in this new environment can be found with the All Blacks’ mindset.

Woolgrowers are receiving a premium contracting wool to Carrfields Primary Wool supplying specialist-breed Astino wool to air filter producer Lanaco. Lanaco chief executive Nick Davenport joins us to discuss how the Kiwi made wool face masks are in hot demand globally.
