Description:

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

What is the state of play for our dairy markets in Europe and how has covid-19 affected the demand and price for dairy products? We will analyse this with Fonterra Europe sales manager Huey van Vliet.

Planting botanical species to attract the enemies of pests is becoming popular around the world as primary producers search for effective, non-synthetic pest-control strategies. Bio-Protection Research Centre deputy director Stephen Goldson explains why our native insects have not evolved to live in our exotic pasture species. 

New rules for transporting cattle and deer make it illegal to move untagged animals. Nait head Kevin Forward will discuss this and how the industry can up its game with contract tracing.

Farmers will face a cap on the amount of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser they can apply under new rules to improve freshwater quality. Nuffield Scholar and Landpro managing director Kate Scott will break down the details and take your questions on what the Government’s Essential Freshwater package has in it.
