Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Armed Forces veterans can offer farming
Q: What are the reasons military leavers aren't maybe choosing farming as an option?
Somerville says land-based careers are not sufficiently visible on military resettlement and Career Transition Partnership platforms, leaving service leavers unaware that farming is an option. The initiative is working with partners to establish clearer pathways.
What Armed Forces veterans can offer farming
Q: What did you already have in your locker, so to speak, for skills when you moved to farming?
Brown says her experience with planning, audits, record-keeping, rosters and managing people transferred well. She also brought a structured approach to documenting farm processes and learned to handle unexpected problems calmly.
How to attract, train and keep new talent in farming
Q: Is there anything that the sorts of farmers that you've worked with, because there's lots of them out there that are always looking for people coming through to work on their farms. Is there anything they should be thinking about in order to try and encourage people to come forward and offer their services?
Prest says farmers should give back by visiting schools, attending careers evenings and letting people visit farms, rather than expecting new workers to arrive fully prepared.
How to attract, train and keep new talent in farming
Q: What was it that made you think, oh, I fancy not working with horses anymore, but then moving that interest completely moving to sheep? What was it that really tipped you?
Prest says she had turned her horse-riding hobby into work, no longer enjoyed it as much, and wanted a new challenge and something new to learn. Sheep farming offered that opportunity.
When farming and family collide...
Q: For anyone listening to this that might think, I've got to have a, I've got to sit down with the, with the family or the business partners or whatever and have a conversation. It might be difficult. We've got a lot to get through. What tips would you give people in that situation? How would they start? Where's best to start?
Amy suggests writing a letter or email first if the subject is difficult, then arranging a time to talk. She also recommends agreeing ground rules, such as no shouting, swearing or interrupting.
