Blue Shed Diary
Blue Shed Diary, a monthly podcast brought to you by PGG Wrightson, features news and information for, and about, New Zealand's rural communities. Like the blue sheds dotting New Zealand's landscape, the Blue Shed Diary is the go-to resource for our farmers and growers. We tackle important issues, explore innovations, showcase best practices, investigate how policies made in the cities impact rural communities, and offer advice on everything from sustainability to animal health. The Blue Shed Diary is a conversation about the people and the land, come be a part of the conversation!
