9:07 Country Life 

Country Life visits Mahia, we start a new series: A Year on the Farm,  Farmer Time gets kids focused on farming and of course On the Farm - a wrap of farming conditions around NZ.

Country Life's new monthly series with Oxford farmer and YouTube vlogger Alistair Bird starts this week - he'll be giving a monthly taste of his life on the land.  In the first episode he tells us what he's been up to in September and heads to a local bull sale in search of a fine yearling bull.

Also ... a new educational programme beams farmers into urban classrooms to talk about agriculture with primary school children and further North on Mahia Peninsula, a local historian reveals the story behind ancient groves of trees used for perfume hundreds of years ago.
