    Great stories and conversations here Sarah.

    Would highly recommend Dec 16 episode: Breaking Into Agrech.

    While a reliance on proven systems and generational experience is crucial for agriculture, its major evolutionary periods the world over have been driven by new people with great skills, new perspectives and an ability to challenge convention. Great to see more and more new shoulders to the wheels of food farming and Ag.
