  • Wonderful!

    We have a small 100 acre Farm in Florida in the US. I am listening with interest to many of the stories of farmers in Australia. We have never fertilized our acreage in 17 years with anything except cow manure that comes from our cows. But now we are pushing into more regenerative things like intensive rotational graising, planting cover crops and more. I would love to hear more stories from farmers on the real nuts and bolts of how they do things, such as what they do with the cover crops after... more

  • When’s the next season??? Cracking resource, insightful, practical and educational!

    Such a great resource and sooo practical with fantastic actionable strategies and innovative farmers who have had the get and go to make changes for the better.

    Fantastic to hear about the economic impacts on their businesses also. The reduced need for big machinery - with large capital investment (not to mention the big fossil fuel costs, the massive reduction in spend inputs such as chemicals).

    When’s the next season? Such a shame not to continue this fantastic podcast!
