Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 27: Matt Haggarty: The Natural Intelligence of Farming
Q: What role does personal branding play for farmers adopting NAT farming?
Building a personal and authentic brand helps connect people to the food they buy, supports broader adoption, and creates a positive feedback loop with consumers demanding regenerative products.
Ep 27: Matt Haggarty: The Natural Intelligence of Farming
Q: How do you see Natural Intelligence Farming evolving on your farm and beyond?
The aim is to educate other farmers to adopt the system, educate consumers about the benefits, and build demand so that farmers can profit from doing the right thing, not just survive on commodity pricing.
Ep 27: Matt Haggarty: The Natural Intelligence of Farming
Q: What was the biggest challenge of doing organics at scale in Sweden?
The biggest challenges were the heavy tillage regime and the subsidies that made it financially viable there, which contrasted with their usual no-till practices and highlighted how soil structure and health were being sacrificed for short-term yields.
Ep 58 - Graeme Pile: The Science and Strategy Behind Fertigation in NZ Agriculture
Q: What is a typical setup and cost for a basic fertigation system?
A simple setup can start with a pump beside the pivot center, an IBC of fertilizer, and a fertigation pump, totaling around $10,000 for a basic system, with larger tanks and sheds increasing the cost but enabling scalability.
Ep 58 - Graeme Pile: The Science and Strategy Behind Fertigation in NZ Agriculture
Q: What are the key differences in nutrient efficiency between liquid fertigation and granular application?
Liquid fertigation minimizes volatilization because nutrients are delivered directly to the root zone, avoiding surface granules that can wash away or volatilize; this leads to better root uptake and more consistent nutrient availability for the plant.
