Oh the weather outside is frightful
But The Country is quite delightful
So kick back and forget your woes
So you know, today's show's about snow

That's enough of that: Phil Duncan is here with snow watch, otherwise known as Weatherwatch.

Then it's Labour Leader Andrew Little who is standing in for John Key. What?

Only on The Country; the PM is on holiday so Jamie puts it to Little that US politicians are more exciting than our lot.

Today's panel features Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden.

Rookes is a disgruntled sheep farmer and it's the return of a prodigal son Jason Uden who has come out of a self-imposed exile!

Next up it's Cindy van Rijswick, brought to you by Rabobank.

She's a leading European horticultural analyst who is on a speaking tour of NZ looking at fruit and vegetable consumption trends in Europe and how that affects us.

Will Colleen Hoyle, a dairy farmer from Taranaki win the Tru-Test Trivial Pursuit quiz and get her mitts on a Tru-Test stick reader?

Then we track down Volkswagen's National Sales Manager Rodney Gillard on his 'Tiguan Tour' of the Country.

Finally it's Chris Russell our Australian correspondent.

He talks about Jarryd Hayne, Gina Reinhardt and more government support for Victorian dairy farmers.
