Rowena Duncum: The Country producer on rural New Zealand's reaction to the election result - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

New Zealand's farming community are feeling hopeful about the new changes in Government.

While the nation's 54th Parliament won't be finalised until November, several prospective MPs from National and ACT have backgrounds in the primary sector.

Grant McCallum, Suze Redmayne, Miles Anderson, Mike Butterick, Andrew Hoggard and Cameron Luxton are among the new faces bringing their rural backgrounds and insight into the Beehive.
