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 humble lamb shank has been voted New Zealand’s favourite lamb cut. We are joined by Beef + Lamb ambassador chef Michael Coughlin to discuss our pride for lamb and what progress we have made in marketing it as a delicacy.


Beef prices in the United States are soaring but bull beef farmers in New Zealand are not feeling it. We get a general market update on beef from AgriHQ senior analyst Mel Croad.


A member of Parliament since 2005, Hamilton East National MP David Bennett has been named the party's agriculture spokesman following Todd Muller's leadership spill. We will take your questions to find out his stance on how the primary sector is crucial to the post-covid recovery.


Is the potato fries dumping crisis just the tip of the iceberg with New Zealand food security? We speak to Potatoes NZ chief executive Chris Claridge about the flow-on effect it is having on growers who are feeling uncertain about planting potatoes.
