Rural Delivery - Series Six, Episode Five

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2010

Rural Delivery gets down to the nitty gritty of New Zealand's primary industries, delivering news headlines, stock market details and on-location reports. In this 2010 episode, the show visits a boer goat farm in the South Island, and the laboratories of AgResearch. A PhD student at the research facility discusses her work on a soil life index, that would give farmers a baseline to compare their soils and promote soil productivity. Presenter Roger Bourne is also joined in the studio by NZ Winegrowers CEO Philip Gregan, who explains how the UK's economic difficulties are negatively impacting New Zealand's wine exports. 

A soil's capacity to support good production depends on the quantity and diversity of life within it. AgResearch Grasslands is developing an index to give farmers a benchmark to compare their soils with.
