Today's show is brought to you by Brexit so here's a Brexit-looking tractor from Jamie Mackay's photo album.

Today's show is brought to you by Brexit so here's a Brexit-looking tractor from Jamie Mackay's photo album.

The Country with Jamie Mackay

It's the whole show in one go and today's theme is: Brexit - everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

Luckily Jamie Mackay isn't afraid to ask today's interviewees anything; especially when it comes to the future of farming and agriculture in New Zealand after Britain's shock decision to leave the EU.

The sheep meat industry is predicted to come in for a bit of a battering in the short term but how with Brexit affect New Zealand's farmers in the long run?

There are plenty of opinions surrounding the big issue today, from the lofty heights of serious statistical analysis to the tabloid-fodder lows of Dom Boy George's assertions that the Brits who didn't know what they were voting for were 'morons'.

On today's show: New Zealand's Agricultural Trade Envoy Mike Petersen, Silver Fern Farms CEO Dean Hamilton, David Broome and Don Nicolson, Phil Duncan, Jim Hopkins, Tony Leggett, and a cracking Brit Pop soundtrack.
