In this episode, we sit down with arable farmer Ben Adams, who swapped life as an agricultural consultant for a return to his family farm.

Ben has a real passion for regenerative agriculture, soil health and challenging conventional thinking. He’s constantly experimenting with new cropping techniques, questioning how and why things are done, and putting ideas into practice in the field.

We talk about what his years in consultancy taught him, how that knowledge has shaped the way he farms today, and the successes — and inevitable failures — that come with trying something different.

On this episode the boys are joined for a beer & chat by another local Bridgend farming native, Mr Rhys Edwards 🙌👨🏻‍🦰

In this conversation you will hear all about Rhys & his families progressive farming business that includes a top notch data driven sheep enterprise, that is up there with the best 🙌🐑

Rhys is top man & as honest as they come, so if you want some proper South Wales farming chat between three great mates then this pod is well worth checking out 🙌👨🏻‍🦰🎉

This week we speak to the smiley legend that is Joe Cluley from Indigro. Joe breaks down the realities of modern arable agronomy—from crop nutrition and disease management to one of the industry’s more persistent challenges: caterpillars.

This week we’re joined by Alex Moss — the diversification guru himself.

We talk side hustles, survival, and the future of modern farming.

From tourism to new income streams, Alex shares how farms are adapting to stay profitable.

The boys are back, and to kick things off they interview singer songwriter and sheep farmer Tom Jenkins. From humble beginnings on a family farm, at 13 Tom picked up a guitar and hasn’t looked back. He has since released several albums, toured America and played with Ryan Bingham and Willie Nelson.

This week the lads discuss Olivia Hesketh's unique journey in the agricultural sector, with her experiences on a family farm, with farming machinery and her travels in Australia. It covers the challenges and opportunities of adapting to new cultures and working environments, highlighting the importance of personal and professional growth, resilience, and the value of making lasting connections.

This week Dai and Jake, along with their guest Tom Hill, cover a range of topics, from humorous tales of past events, like Jake's battle with illness, to Tom's insights into the pig farming industry, his career as a young pig vet, and his passion for triathlon training leading up to the half Ironman World Championships in New Zealand. The conversation touches on the intricacies and challenges of pig farming, the importance of animal welfare, and the preventative approach in pig and poultry sectors compared to red meat farming. Additionally, the episode delves into Tom's rigorous training routine for his triathlon competitions, his nutrition, and his achievements and aspirations in the world of fitness.
