The Country
Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay announced an exciting new promotion where someone could win a double pass to Wheels at Wanaka - including a ride in a monster 70s dump truck!
On with the show:
Damien O Connor:
We banter with the Minister of Agriculture about Alps 2 Ocean, the Crown Pastoral Land Act, why the pork industry is slamming the government over country of origin labelling and we ask if international tourism can ever recover?

Allan Dippie:
We give you the chance to win a three day pass (for two) to Wheels at Wanaka over the Easter weekend (with the bonus of a half hour ride in a monster 70s dump truck used to move dirt in the creation of the Upper Waitaki hydro power scheme).

Do it wrong and you will break your thumb.
That is the warning from tractor mechanic Ron Muir, who is responsible for maintaining the collection of about 200 vintage tractors owned by Wanaka property developer Allan Dippie.
Most will feature in the grand parade at Easter s Wheels at Wanaka event and while having them all in working order is a priority, there is also a need to find enough drivers.
