Magazine-style show Rural Delivery covers the latest news in New Zealand's primary sector. First up is a visit to Agriseeds in the Canterbury town of Courtenay, where Pasture Systems Manager Graham Kerr gives a tour of the research and development unit and commercial rye grass operations. Next up is a story about Smedley Station in Tikokino, Hawke's Bay. The prestigious agricultural school teaches young people the skills needed to farm successfully. Finally, popular Auckland vineyard Villa Maria discusses its organic wine operation and creating a sustainable business.
Our vision here at Smedley is to produce future leaders, and I think, you know all the staff here, we're there to challenge the boys, to always challenge them as to what they're doing. We have a session every lecture day as to what's happening in New Zealand's primary industry, so they're reading the papers and, we want them to get involved...– Smedley Station tutor Tom Goodger, on the aims of the agricultural school
