And obviously they do have a few policies.

And I think they've done a lot for agriculture in this last one with Andrew Hoggard stepping up into quite a big role within the

crew.

Yeah.

change.

I've got Andrew Hoggard and Grant McCullum hopefully coming up on the show shortly.

I think Andrew Hoggard is kind of almost your local MP with the ACT Party.

He's dead keen to support this.

I wonder what McCullum will say.

Why? I am going to ask today's farmer panel, Andrew Hoggard and Grant McCallum, who both also happen to be politicians, what they make of it.

I know that, to be fair to Andrew Hoggard, he's very supportive of what Nathan Stewart wants to do at Fielding High.

But Grant McCallum, I don't know, I'm going to ask him.

The jury's out.

We need a
