The Country: Our freelance rural commentator comments on the goldrush mentality of the manuka honey industry, Donald Trump and the Wellington Sevens.

Don Carson spoke to Jamie Mackay on The Country today about the explosive first few days of Donald Trump's presidency. Carson speculates on what his actions could mean for New Zealand.

Major manuka honey exporter Comvita warns there will be a 60 per cent shortfall this season. Don Carson updates Jamie on an industry that has been battered by Mother Nature. Is manuka honey's future not looking so bright?

Finally Carson admits he's not going to the Wellington Sevens this year, along with many others. Could this be because New Zealand just isn't that good at sevens any more?
