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

The Targeted Training and Apprenticeships Fund (TTAF) was announced today for vocational education and training. The dairy industry is desperate to employ staff as calving approaches and many skills will have to be learnt on the job. Farm 4 Life's Tangaroa Walker joins us about the launch of the Farm 4 Life Hub.

New Zealand exported $859 million of lamb, mutton, beef and co-products in April despite covid-19. Meat Industry Association chief executive Sirma Karapeeva will discuss the tariff savings from the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership for NZ beef exports to Japan and how red meat has a recovery wishlist.

Queen’s Birthday honours saw cattle legend Bruce Mackenzie, of Maungahina stud, made a Companion to the New Zealand Order of Merit as the stud celebrates 75 years. Bruce will join us to share his family’s journey selling three breeds of cattle in Wairarapa.

A cutting-edge tracking collar for sheep uses Bluetooth to accurately identify lambs raised by each ewe will help New Zealand sheep become more productive in the process. Aimee Charteris, a director of Four Good Foods, will join us to discuss the new Smart Shepherd technology.
