On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Mark Hooper, Federated Farmers RMA Reform spokesperson, about its concerns the proposed RMA replacement legislation could add costs and tighter land-use limits, how the situation has evolved and what areas of legal certainty Feds would like to see tidies up... He talks with NZ Merino Company CEO Angus Street about sourcing fine wool from South African suppliers, where the demand is coming from and the current state of the merino wool market... And he talks with comedian Wesley Nicholas, aka It's That Mad Guy, about performing in the inaugural Young Farmers Rural Urban Comedy Night in Christchurch (March 19), how dairy farming played a key role in his comedic journey and how he balances comedy with his new job in ecological restoration.
