As part of this week’s “Change Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Professor Rob Sparrow from Monash University discusses how robots could risk affecting our relationship to food, nature and farming in ways not yet appreciated.
Most media articles on robotics in agriculture focus on the “gee whiz” aspects of the technology, but two Monash University philosophy academics have shone an ethical torch on how their future application could raise some challenges for what it means to farm.
At a time when New Zealand is poised for the new season’s harvest but thousands of hands short, the concept of an army of robots to harvest it all could seem an appealing one.

As part of this week’s “Change Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Roger Young from Cawthron Freshwater Sciences discusses a new online tool to record efforts to improve water quality.
Action taken by farmers to reduce nutrient losses during the past 20 years has worked, but it will need to accelerate if current regulatory objectives are to be met.
Research released this week by the “Our Land and Water (OLAW) National Science Challenge” investigated the impact on water quality of adopting better practices on dairy, sheep and beef farms.

As part of this week “Newsmaker” show of Sarah’s Country, outgoing Rural Women New Zealand president Fiona Gower explains that Rural Women New Zealand is more than the ‘tea and scones brigade’ as she reflects on her four years with the organisation.
It's the opportunities and experiences money can’t buy that Fiona Gower remembers when she looks back at her four years as Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) president.
Gower’s two two-year terms in the role and as a RWNZ board member ended in late November.
Her family has a long history of involvement with RWNZ, dating back to her mother and grandmother being members when it was known as the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers. It was changed to Rural Women New Zealand in 1999.

As part of this week “Newsmaker” show of Sarah’s Country, Tim Jones from Summerfruit NZ Summerfruit NZ chair discusses how bad weather has hit the harvest hard in the South Island decimating apple and cherry crops leaving growers in a dire situation on top of the major labour shortage.
Fruit and hop growers in parts of the South Island are counting the cost of wild weather since Christmas, with the bill expected to run into millions of dollars.
What’s been described as the biggest hailstorm to hit the Motueka area in living memory, decimated some kiwifruit and apple crops in the region. While further south, heavy and persistent rain is predicted to have a similar impact on the Central Otago cherry harvest.

As part of this week “Newsmaker” show of Sarah’s Country, Megan Whitehead had a record-breaking day in the woolshed smashing the solo female eight-hour sheep shearing record.
Seven months of training – which meant removing bread, caffeine and sugar from her diet – paid off for 24-year-old Gore shearer Megan Whitehead, when she set a new solo women’s record of 661 lambs this week.
She began the nine-hour day strongly in a hot Southland woolshed, clipping 153 specially-bred Snowline lambs in the first run, then followed that with subsequent runs of 132, 126, 125 and 125.
The previous record of 648 was set by Waikato’s Emily Welch in 2007, and she was on hand to watch Whitehead’s successful attempt.
