On with the show:

James Stewart:

Stewart Dairies is an 800 cow operation in the Manawatu and one of the 16 farms that invited the public to look around yesterday for the Fonterra Open Gates initiative. How many of the 800 pre-registered people turned up and was there a poo-nami come milking time?

Today's panel features a Central Hawkes Bay sheep farmer and a Northland cow cocky, who talk about the latest from their neck of the woods and have a bit of a yarn about Fonterra.
