Bryan is joined by senior reporter Neal Wallace who reflects on his six-week Meeting the Market tour that saw him visit some of our key customers. From China to the United Kingdom, the European Union and Dubai, the message was the same.

Federated Farmers Southland president Jason Herrick also gives an update on the situation down south after last week’s big floods. Jason says many farmers are struggling to manage stock after what has been a very grim winter. He says it’s important for farmers to get off farm, talk to people they trust and only worry about the things they can control.
