Craig Wiggins, the voice of common sense. (That's him on the right).

Craig Wiggins, the voice of common sense. (That's him on the right).

Craig Wiggins is finally home after all his extracurricular activities compering the nation's rural events and the weather is awful - just in time for calving season...

Craig updates up The Country Early Edition's Dom George on the Fencing Contractors Association Conference in Rotorua which he attended to run the prize giving.

Wiggy is also annoyed with Fail Army on TV3 about some derogatory farming comments...

Finally there's always time for a bit of stick over the Highlanders' recent defeat.

You can listen to the full interview in the Soundcloud embed below:
