I had an absolute blast producing this podcast. Rob and Jo have been inspirations to me for a very, very long time- it is always great when my two worlds collide Full of good belly laughs and sheep farming chats- aka my perfect podcast, as per usual.👌🏼 (If I do say so myself 😂)
This week on the #HeadShepherd podcast we have @RobertHodgkins1 discussing farming NZ Romneys in the UK and the challenges that brings. @fergenetics and Rob cover all things from meeting market needs to educating their "local" population of 4 million. ed.gr/dsa3f

Thank you all for such kindness after last night’s #ThisFarmingLife . My inboxes have been flooded and I promise to answer. You are all so kind. I’ve screenshot and shared my reasoning for my tears from my FB. Every farmer I know cares deeply for their work and food they produce. – at Armadale, Scotland

243.3%. That's the increase in the area of woodland on UK farms between 1984 and 2018 and now stands at over 1 million hectares. I think folks generally think that planting trees is a good thing, but those are stats that you never see used anywhere.
