• R2Kast 352 – Alison Milne on policy, psychology, and championing the next generation

  Today we welcome Alison Milne onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ A powerful voice in Scottish agriculture, Alison shares how her journey from NFUS to the SRU board reflects her deep love for rural life — even if she was never quite a natural with a baler! 🚜💼We dive into her career, from studying psychology and management to holding director-level roles at NFU Scotland. Alison explains how her passion for future-proofing the industry led to founding the NextGen programme — boosting succession and developing young rural leaders. 🌱👩‍🌾Alison reflects on growing up on a mixed arable and sheep farm, and how enthusiasm often outpaced skill on the machinery front! Her shift from comms assistant to director was fuelled by a deep belief in commercial representation and purposeful policy. 📊📣We explore her current roles, including with the Scottish Rugby Union and as a board effectiveness consultant. Alison’s story is about showing up, standing tall, and paving the way for others in an industry that needs fresh voices and bold ideas. 🏉🌾Enjoy! 😊Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.#AlisonMilne #NFUScotland #NextGenAg #ScottishRuralLeadership #FarmSuccession #PolicyAndFarming #WomenInAg #RuralLeadership #SupplyChainVoices #YoungFarmers #SRUBoard #FarmingPsychology #FarmToBoardroom #ScotlandAg #AgComms #RuralFuture #PeopleInFarming #HowdenRural #R2Kast #PeopleInFoodAndFarming Hosted on Acast.

• R2Kast 350 - Wallace and Ed talk health, wellbeing, and losing 25kg in 8 weeks

  Today we welcome ourselves—Wallace and Ed—onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ For this special 350th episode, we take a step back from interviews to chat candidly about health, mindset, and the path from 139kg to 114kg in just 8 weeks. 🏋️‍♂️💬We reflect on why weight gain happens so easily in desk jobs, the mental shift it took to start losing it, and the balance between accountability and kindness. From raw milk debates to diet changes, it’s an open, honest look at personal health journeys. 🥩⚖️Ed brings insight from his active lifestyle and audible habit, while Wallace shares what finally flipped the switch after years of struggle. The episode is as much about physical change as it is about reshaping habits and identity. 🎧💡An unfiltered chat between two friends that just might inspire you to start your own journey, whatever it looks like. 🛤️❤️Enjoy! 😊Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.#WallaceCurrie #EdMartin #R2Kast350 #HealthJourney #WeightLossStory #PersonalGrowth #WellbeingMatters #RawMilkChat #DeskToFit #LifestyleChange #CarnivoreDiet #FitnessMindset #FriendshipGoals #HonestConversations #AgriVoices #TransformationStory #BodyPositivity #SelfAwareness #HowdenRural #PeopleInFoodAndFarming #HealthMatters #RuralFitness #MentalResilience Hosted on Acast.

• R2Kast 348 - Jerry Andrada on forestry, farming, and sustainability beyond the stereotype

  Today we welcome Jerry Andrada onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ A self-proclaimed “pretend” farmer and forester, Jerry brings honesty and humour to a deep discussion about what modern land stewardship truly means. 🌲🚜We explore Jerry’s path from amenity tree work to forestry and suckler cows, and why he questions the need for a quarter-million-pound tractor to be considered “real.” He shares why Devon’s lanes don’t suit scale—and why the system shouldn’t demand it. 🌿🚧Jerry dives into his values around environmental consciousness, his frustrations with industry contracts, and how farming doesn’t need to be intensive to be impactful. Wallace also discusses his fascination with “Maximising Sustainable Output,” a topic sparking real traction in agriculture. 📈🌍A refreshing take on what it means to work the land in a way that prioritises balance over output. It’s a frank, thoughtful episode on sustainability, identity, and forestry’s role in the future of farming. 🌱🗣️Enjoy! 😊Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.#JerryAndrada #ForestryUK #SmallScaleFarming #SustainableFarming #MSO #ChrisClarke #PretendFarmer #SucklerHerd #AgriVoices #DevonFarming #TreeSurgery #NatureBasedSolutions #EnvironmentalEthics #RuralWork #FarmEquipmentDebate #FarmingSustainably #PodcastChat #ForestryWork #HowdenRural #R2Kast #PeopleInFoodAndFarming #ModernAgriVoices #RegenForestry Hosted on Acast.
