4.5 out of 5 stars from 99 ratings
  • What a great laugh.

    Every time I see the notification pop up that a podcast has arrived I get excited as I know I’m going to have an hour of informative and slightly nonsensical agricultural information.

    Wish Andrew would put on a thicker accent, it’s so sexy.

    Good content,

    but when listening to in the tractor difficult to hear play both as the volume of the presenters is louder for one than the other so it’s too loud in the cab for one person and too quiet for the other

    Love the content boys, always spot on with your predictions. Can you please sort out why Matt is so much louder than Andrew. Cheers

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing Agritechnica to Australia
Q: Why is there a push for Future Ag in Melbourne instead of relying solely on Agritechnica in Germany?
Because global innovation must be translated into regional adoption; Melbourne-based Future Ag adapts the global trends to local farm sizes, climates, and market needs, and creates a free-entry model to maximize farmer participation and knowledge exchange.
Bringing Agritechnica to Australia
Q: Tell us what the Australian contingent did at Agritechnica in Hanover.
They organized an Australian pavilion with joint stands, highlighting Australian innovations, followed by a dedicated Australia Night to celebrate national participation and strengthen connections between Australian exhibitors and European audiences.
The two food groups - wine and lamb
Q: What kind of things could be classified as a non-tariff trade barrier?
Non-tariff trade barriers can be unexpected requirements that aren't tariffs, like unique testing requirements for imports.
The two food groups - wine and lamb
Q: What do you think about the volatility being the new normal?
I think we're more exposed to it now due to globalisation and the interconnectedness of markets.
'On an even Kealy' with Emma Kealy MP.
Q: How do you feel about the recent movement towards renewable energy in Victoria?
Emma acknowledges that while some in the agricultural sector see the potential benefits of renewable energy projects as supplemental income, there is frustration about the lack of community involvement in decision making.
