Milkshakes, draughty windows and wanting to be Jesus

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 32:46

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Will Jones from Brow Farm, a member of the Upper Onny Farmers Group. Will took over the farm in 2019 after moving to the area with his wife Emily, and shares his journey from childhood to running a dairy farm in Norbury.

The gang chew the fat on the future of farming, whether AI is coming for everyone’s jobs, indulge in some classic weather chat, and somehow end up discussing sour milkshakes. It’s the usual mix of thoughtful discussion, daft stories, and plenty of banter along the way.

Scotland, A bucket of Play-Doh and TB Testing Traumas

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, December 5, 2025 • Duration 28:14

In this episode of the Upper Onny Farmers’ Podcast, Matt Sankey, Matt Betton and Rhian Pinches get stuck into some of the big topics shaping life on the farm. They talk about the realities of dealing with TB testing and its impact on day-to-day farming, and wonder what life would look like if they farmed somewhere even more remote than the Onny Valley — think Highlands, Islands, and beyond. The team also tackle your questions about farming terminology… although it quickly becomes clear that saying Site of Special Scientific Interest is harder than getting TB testing done on a Monday morning. Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join the conversation.
