A weekly highlights programme broadcast nationwide on Saturday mornings on Newstalk ZB. Highlights are drawn from the Farming Show – a daily magazine-style programme broadcast 12pm - 1pm on Newstalk ZB. The programme contains interviewees and regular commentators talking about farming and agribusiness in New Zealand. The programme began broadcasting in 1994. In this recording it is preceded by a news and sports bulletin, and weather forecast. The following rundown is sourced from the Farming Show website:
1. Damien O'Connor, Labour's Primary Industry spokesman, comments on his party's new economic policy to lower the dollar and he laments the loss of his good mate Shane Jones.
2. We catch up with Dr Andrew West, the Vice Chancellor of Lincoln University, as the BIG WET makes Canterbury cropping farms into rice paddies.
3. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters says there's merit in Labour's new economic policy to lower interest and exchange rates.
4. We head to Stuttgart Arkansas where John Stephens, a former world duck calling champion, gives us the low down on how to entice the feathered foe to your pond on Saturday.
5. George Murdoch, Rabobank’s Regional Manager for the East Coast of the North Island, comments on the Ruataniwha dam, the local real estate market and seasonal climatic conditions in his patch.
6. Prime Minister John Key picks holes in Labour's new economic policy to lower interest and exchange rates.
