Description:

With the world in chaos, it’s nice to reflect on how life is here in New Zealand. Tonight on Sarah’s Country, we talk about how we should count ourselves lucky with how things are here, in comparison to the rest of the globe.

Sarah finds out how Fieldays will deliver a virtual experience in 2020 with chief executive Peter Nation.

Then, we get an update on the Mycoplasma bovis eradication programme and put your questions to the Primary Industries Ministry’s chief science adviser John Roche

And with processing capacity set to increase but international markets not in a position to take our product we get an outlook from Mel Croad from Agrihq on the situation the red meat sector is in.

Then to wrap up, Sirma Karapeeva has recently taken on the top job at Meat Industry Association and we find out why the processing companies are so different in their approach to clearing the backlog.

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.
