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.

We discuss how the rural sector will pull the economy through covid-19 with Farmlands chief executive, Peter Reidie. Sarah asks Peter about how fuel, e-commerce and wellbeing for the farming industry.

Are we really making farm management and supply chain efficiencies based on what the consumer wants? We ask Glen Herud from Happy Cow Milk how his locally produced, ethical milk business is more than just a story and the technology he is about to launch to improve transparency.

On Sarah’s Country, one of our favourite words has become ‘pivot’, something that we’ve become pretty good at in New Zealand. Award-winning scientist Professor David Williams is pivoting away from inline milk testing to produce a rapid test for covid-19 and joins Sarah to discuss.

Then to wrap up the show, Sarah chats with Hamish Marr. In New Zealand politics is largely left out of the glyphosate discussion and it is up to the industry to do the right thing. After a year of study as a Nuffield Scholar Methven arable farmer Hamish Marr reports on New Zealand's use of the product. 

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.
