It's the whole show in one go! Today we have a special guest on The Country. It's our big boss Lee Piper. Dom is away so Lee is stepping in to keep Jamie company and keep us abreast of any Olympic action happening during the show. Lee also chose the music... because he's our boss and he can give us all our marching orders. Great music Lee!
On with the show: First up we have Dick Tayler and Lee Piper. Our Roving South Island Farming Ambassador and a name from the past keep an eye on a Timaru boy going great guns in Rio de Janeiro.
Don Carson is up next. He's our freelance rural commentator who comments on who's flogging all the manuka honey and which is the lesser of two evils - palm kernel or nitrogen?
The Farmer Js are back again - Jeremy Rookes and Jason Uden. Rookes, well-travelled sheep farmer and Uden, a well-meaning former cow cocky let us in on what's going on in their world.
What's happening with the weather? Lisa Murray our Met Service forecaster is all over it and says a fine weekend is in store for all. Whoop!
