9:07 Country Life 

Country Life meets the Seaweed Man, Steve Matthews loves the wild Wairarapa coast where he's worked on farms most of his life. Intrigued by the deer he used to see munching seaweed on the beach, the pensioner started up his own little business foraging and selling the stuff.

But perhaps the grass is greener, Brandon Dalton moved to Lees Valley in Canterbury from a ranch in eastern Montana and now works alongside 13 other staff to keep the 20 thousand hectare station ticking over.

Then to farming with the Future in Mind. A fourth generation Canterbury dairy farmer is embracing regenerative agriculture. John Legg has been using the approach for three years and says soil health has improved dramatically since he stopped using synthetic fertilisers
