Farmers and city folk alike will benefit from a brand new rural information show Rural Delivery.

Rural Delivery will provide news and information for all farmers, while city slickers can learn about the people, businesses and developments taking place across the country outside the city limits.

Executive producer, Kirsty Cooper says Rural Delivery is an exciting programme "celebrating the people and industries vital to this country's economic wellbeing".

Television newcomer, agricultural and horticultural journalist, Roger Bourne presents the series which will feature rural high achievers, ground breaking research, rural news, regional weather forecasts and market information. Each week New Zealand's top executives, politicians and scientists will talk about issues affecting the rural industry.

Kirsty Cooper says Rural Delivery will primarily focus on sheep, beef, dairy and cropping farmers but will also cover stories from the horticultural and viticultural industries.

"We'll bring viewers the most up-to-date information in rural news. We'll also be showcasing the most innovative and profitable operations involved in New Zealand's agriculture and the top businessmen and women behind them".
