On tonight’s episode of Sarah's Country, Sarah is joined by Mel Croad to chat about the impacts of reduced processing capacity and what our international markets look like since Covid-19 lockdown.
With all of us Zooming, Skyping and House Partying, Sarah hears from AbicusBio’s Jonah Duckle about how the rural community should embrace technology to communicate online.
Sarah also speaks to her little sister, Elle Perriam from Will to Live, about how rural farmers can keep their mental health in check through better nutrition, more sleep and practising gratitude.
Then, we get an update on the drought in Hawke’s Bay amidst the growing concern for the M. Bovis and TB outbreaks as well as the water and feed shortages from RAG Group & AgFirst Agribusiness Consultant, Lachie Macgillivray.
