We enjoyed this one... Prof Andy Neal is one of the leading Soil Scientists not only in the UK but internationally too. He also happens to be a genuinely decent chap with properly good hair and taste in music... sorry Ben Adams 😆As you can imagine, this is a soil heavy episode but Andy manages to communicate his knowledge so well which makes it accessible to all. Jane's Addiction & Finitribe. Also, as mentioned in the podcast, heres a link to Andy's band Tipping Point that performed at OFRC this year.Enjoy and please subscribe and give us a like on here plus reach out on socials...

Episode 3 | Ian Wilkinson
We were extremely fortunate to get an hour of Ian's time and the quality of insight in this podcast is exactly why he is such a busy man. Ian is the owner of Cotswold Seeds and co-Founder of FarmEd, two staples of UK Agriculture. You'll rarely visit a farm that doesn't have a Cotswold Seed poster on the wall, which perfectly demonstrates the impact Ian is having on UK agriculture and why he was such a good guest to have. He also had pretty good taste in music as well with two tracks for us, Fleetwood Mac and The Mavericks, two proper tunes!
