    I began listening before moving to TAS from Melb. This podcast has been great in helping me to get my head around what is happening in the state. It gives a diverse and interesting perspective on all manner of issues and personalities. Well produced, reported, presented and a pleasure to listen to. Now I'm down south for good and can listen daily, though I do catch a podcast of missed episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reaction to the sale of Tasmania's largest farm
Q: What is the CEFC contributing to the project?
The CEFC is contributing 69 million dollars, with the overall investment involving a total of 142 million to establish the project, including funding for trees, soil work, and labor, as part of a long-term strategy.
Reaction to the sale of Tasmania's largest farm
Q: Why is there concern about how this sale was handled?
Critics argue there was insufficient local consultation and that local buyers were not given a fair chance to bid, which could set a precedent for land deals that prioritize outside investors over regional needs.
Automated Agronomy and the Distiller who loves the Antarctic
Q: How could automated agronomy change daily farming in Tasmania?
Automated agronomy could enable daily crop checks and high-resolution data collection through autonomous drones and sensors, reducing the need for daily on-site visits while still requiring human oversight and collaboration with agronomists.
Huge demand for vegetable seedlings and protecting habitat on Midlands farms
Q: What sparked the surge in demand for vegetable seedlings in March?
The rise was linked to higher fuel costs and people choosing to grow their own produce, with a notable spike in interest in vegetables and herbs that sustained into spring.
From Corporate America to a Tasmanian farm
Q: What are your plans for lambing season and the future of the farm?
This will be my first lambing season; I learned from an agronomist friend to start simple, buy lambs in, and gradually raise them while building a brand and product that reflects the land and my farming approach.
