Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay catches up with independent economist Cameron Bagrie, to find out why he’d rather be a farmer than an Auckland property developer.

On with the show:

Jeremy Rookes:

In the absence of Damien O’Connor (in China), we invite a last-minute fill-in, and Canterbury hobby farmer, to talk rain, rugby, his bull sale roadie and the bloating of the public service.

Cameron Bagrie:

Independent economist says he’d rather be a farmer than an Auckland property developer over the next 12-18 months. We also look at the plummeting tax take and why the government is now paying the price for being ideologues rather than practising pragmatic economics.

Chanelle O’Sullivan and Chelsea Millar:

Today’s panel features two high-profile influencers in agri-business and rural entrepreneurs who are leading the charge on innovation. One is the co-founder of the Farming Mums NZ Facebook page, and the other is the head of Grass Roots Media.
