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

Tractor and Machinery Association president John Tulloch calls on the Government to help save the sector with many New Zealand-made implement manufacturers hurting.


Keeping farmers and growers afloat for economic recovery is crucial. Sarah will speak to ANZ agricultural economist Susan Kilsby about the availability of credit to the sector and her Budget wishlist.


Science research funding has lacked targeted effectiveness according to NZ Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Science president Jon Hickman, who joins Sarah to unpack his wishlist for our sector to be productive, resilient and sustainable.


Teaching the 59,000 school leavers about the benefit of careers at every level of the primary sector is the life purpose of Horticulture and Agriculture Teachers Association secretary-treasurer Kerry Allan.

Sarah Perriam, the host of Sarah's Country, is joined in self-isolation still broadcasting from the Lincoln University campus as an ‘essential service’ with her guest co-host, her Irish producer, Joel Rock.
