Episode 5 Part 1 - Team Walker

Charley and Andrea Walker tell us about their story - from having no farm to 250Ha, 800 ewes, 90 cows and A LOT of paddocks. We also learn about Charleys' character flaws and his obsession with burning daylight. Plus what it's like to be a woman who drives a JCB Fastrack so well that most of the truckers in the East Midlands know you. This is Part 1 of a two part Episode. Part 2 features more intensive pasture chat. For any Integrated Land Management Plan enquiries contact Michael at mwdblanche@...

Episode 4 - Trevor Cook

Trevor is one of the people I've learnt most from in agriculture. He became a cult hero during the QMS Grazing Group project and still comes back to the UK twice a year. He has this rare clarity of thought and expression. In this conversation we talk a bit about him and how he got to where he did. A bit about how he feels during a farm visit. A bit about vowel pronunciation. And a lot on profitable cattle and sheep systems. All done whilst we are both in pyjamas just like Morecambe and Wise. He ...

Charlie comes clean about his addiction to restaurant table decoration consumption and the parallels his friendships have with the homo-erotic "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe". He talks openly about the family tragedy that changed everything. Also - if you are after profitability nuggets - this is a gold mine!

Episode 2 - Robert Fleming

Robert talks of the difficulties of living in the Wigtownshire Riviera - including sunburn in March, palm tree maintenance and not being able to sledge in winter. We talk about how he's increased the kilos of liveweight since he's concentrated on his soils and started paddock grazing. He's doubled output per hectare. He describes a trial on 6 hectares that opens gigantic possibilities of what could be done with pasture. On his Nuffield he explains how he talked about farts without sniggering. We...
