    What I like best about these is that it's like listening to friends discussing topics .

    I loved this! I learned. I laughed. And I felt like I was sitting down with a cup of tea & old friends.

    Great conversation! Informative while being entertaining. I'm not a farmer, but I could listen to you talking to them all day. Thanks Cammy and Iona.❤

    I like Harry’s Farm too. I recommended his channel to an arable student.

    Brilliant podcast, as always, Cammy and Iona!
    Cammy, you were right about Heather Mills - ex wife of Sir Paul McCartney, and she lost her lower leg in a traffic accident. But it was Linda McCartney, his wife who passed away, who had the very successful vegan food business

    Really interesting, honest interview, thank you. Perhaps if people took a reality check they would realise we need (in order); water, food then shelter to survive as a species. But all three are villianised and mistreated industries, let's hope future generations get wise to what really matters in life....😊

    This was a very good podcast.
    Rob was very interesting and I think ye got the balance right between letting him talk vs. interjecting with good points.
    Well done Cammy and Iona, keep up the good work. 🔥

    Brilliant what an enjoyable, entertaining and informative podcast as I feed the ewes.Aye suckler numbers and breeding ewe numbers falling and the best way to stabilise flocks and herds is to promote our produce and keep producing it to the highest standards . Cammy your correct we all use the doctor ,solicitor and priest now and again ,but every one needs and takes a Farmer for granted at least 3 times a day.Happy Easter and good luck with the lambing.

    Great podcast 👍😊👍
    I do not like pigs either (except for bacon). All other animals are great.
    There was parking for over 350 private jets at the airport near the Superbowl. We were told to decrease our power usage while huge corporate offices sat empty all night with their offices fully lit. 😡
    Don’t tell me farming is the problem.

    Just some constructive criticism, I wanted to hear more from Rob without interruption. I think Cammy spoke more than Rob. Very interesting though

      60,000 at £80 head is £4.8 million. 80p/week for the keep is 48k/week There's a lot of money going into making 600k
