Infrastructure of rural life with Charlie Reynolds: Fieldays 2026

Blue Shed Diary at Fieldays! The podcast left the studio for the PGW tent at Mystery Creek to have conversations with all of the movers and shakers of the Primary Industries. For many farmers, the infrastructure supporting their rural communities is not up to the task. From roads to water, many in the provinces feel investment is primarily funnelled to the big cities. Fighting to change that is Charlie Reynolds, Federated Farmers Provincial President for Gisborne and Wairoa. He joined the conversation on Wednesday from Fieldays.
