Ep 3: Todd McClay on Tariffs & Agriculture, Plastic AgWaste, and Autumn Fertilser

Coming to you from the big blue sheds dotting New Zealand’s landscape is PGG Wrightson’s podcast – the “Blue Shed Diary.”In Episode Three’s conversation: With tariffs still the topic on everyone’s list, we speak to Trade Minister Todd McClay about where things stand. Plus, we check in on his other portfolios – forestry and agriculture – to get an idea of where things are and where they are going. Plastic waste is a huge issue for all farmers and growers. It is used for everything but getting rid of it is not as simple as burying it, burning it, and recycling it is not always easy. New regulations are on the way, but the Minister for the Environment wants to give you a chance to have your say first. We talk to Minister Penny Simmonds and the head of AgRecovery Tony Wilson. We speak to PGG Wrightson Technical Specialist - Soil Jay Howe for top tips on getting your land ready for winter with a look at autumn fertiliser.
