Connecting with farmers is one of the attributes Robyn Dynes -- the latest recipient of Lincoln University's prestigious Bledisloe Medal - is most proud of.

She's a principal scientist  for AgResearch and has been recognised for her outstanding contribution in her field.

She advises on global trends and the latest science in her work with farmers, which spans climate change and farming systems.

She joins Kathryn to talk about growing up on a Southland farm, the possibility of a career in harness racing and listening to the challenges of those on the land.
