  • Great farming podcast

    A well produced and informative podcast, love the episodes where they go into farmers lives.

    Wish they included poultry farming into their episodes, we’re a big part of farming too but we’re are often missed out in comparison to beef, dairy, arable, sheep etc etc

  • Show review

    Although a good show it is frustrating that it is very English centric and from my long term listening as far as I am aware has had no content from a Northern Irish perspective.
