  • Love the podcast, hate the sexist jokes

    Really love the podcast and find it so informative and useful.

    However, I find myself increasingly enraged and disappointed by the often sexist, misplaced “jokes” of the man doing the market reports. I feel his comments add nothing of humour to the podcast and highlight just how far we have to go as an industry towards gender equality. It is really disheartening as a woman working in the dairy industry.

    The comments relating to the England womens football team this week with regards to him “id... more

  • BRILLIANT co-hosts

    Best dairy industry podcast around. Always informative and highly entertaining, but it’s the talented, witty and devastatingly handsome co-hosts that make it. Whatever you’re paying Will and Ben, it isn’t enough! ;-)

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Forage Shortfalls to Feed Price Spikes: The Feed Market Outlook
Q: Chris, what's your read on current feed prices and what should farmers consider when buying inputs now?
Prices are volatile with some materials near peaks; the advice is to balance risk, assess the longer horizon, and consider stocking inputs if it makes financial sense given policy and logistics risk.
From Forage Shortfalls to Feed Price Spikes: The Feed Market Outlook
Q: Torin, can you explain how feed and forage stock levels are looking on the farms you've seen?
Stock levels are regionally varied, with some areas showing abundant forage while others face tighter supplies, which influences whether farmers choose lower inclusion rations or higher‑protein supplements to maintain milk production costs.
