Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Rachel Stewart, who says her criticism of farming comes from a place of love, actually.
On with the show:
Rachel Stewart:
She describes her self as ex-media, ex-farmer, ex-train driver and ex-rated. And you're certainly never going to die wondering what she thinks!

Jane Smith:
Is an outspoken North Otago farmer and former winner of the Ballance Farm Environment Awards. Today we find her on a farm business discussion tour to Central Otago and it's no surprise to see the Greens are firmly in her sights.
Lee Piper, Sam Casey and Andy Thompson:
We catch up with the two hosts of the new "Country Sport Breakfast" plus an interloper with a daily 6-15am slot.
