It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by sadness.
On this day in 1980 Dom George's beloved John Lennon was assassinated. If that wasn't bad enough, on this day in 2016 Jamie Mackay is interviewing his beloved John Key for the last time. It's going to be a tear-jerker Ladies and Gentlemen.
On with the show: First up it's John Key. Today the PM joins us for a final, merciless grilling despite a request from his minders to do "light and fluffy".
Next we have Ben Russell. The Head of Rural Banking for Heartland Bank comments on the state of the meat industry, the future of the dairy industry and a great new finance product for farmers.
Then it's on to one of New Zealand's leading deer farmers Peter Allan. Today he talks about the stalled state of the velvet industry and previews next week's annual National Velvet and Hard Antler Competition in Invercargill.
