It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by Ricky Gervais and the glorious music of David Brent. You lucky, lucky people.
On with the show:
Sir David Fagan: We head to the UK to talk to the world's greatest shearer about an eight hour ewe shearing record set overnight by the world's best shearer, Rowland Smith.
Steve Maharey: Is a former Labour Cabinet Minister who comments on the future prospects of the Manawatu Gorge, Winston Peters and the New Zealand primary industry sector.
Damien O'Connor: Labour's Primary Industry Spokesman also comments on the MP for Northland and he pokes some borax in the direction of Silver Fern Farms.
Dean Hamilton: The chief executive of Silver Fern Farms responds to Damien O'Connor and says the meat processing cooperative has never been in a stronger financial position.
Tom Ruddenklau: The GM of Volkswagen New Zealand, the preferred vehicle of Sir David Fagan and Rowland Smith, talks glowingly of the VW Touareg and his uncle Bill.
Jim Hopkins: Is a rural raconteur who opines on the flooding on the east coast of the South Island and virtues of the New Zealand pork industry.
