In this episode we found ourselves at Groundswell with two absolute titans of the regenerative farming community; Harriet Cherry and Michael Gooden. We were also joined by probably the busiest man in UK farming, Ian Roberston for a debrief, who may, or may not, be our next proper guest! Harriet Cherry is the Senior Agricultural Relationship Manager at WildFarmed and also serves as a director of the world famous Groundswell Show. She is not only instrumental in bringing the magic of Groundswell to life but is also a wealth of knowledge and tireless in the pursuit of genuine change to the UK farming system! Michael Gooden, our first international guest, is an Australian cattle farmer and President of Vic No-Till. He visited Groundswell as part of a UK wide regenerative agricultural tour organised by Joel Williams and luckily for us, agreed to be on the pod!

The during the pandemic, she returned home and started farming with her Dad, Andrew Jackson - inspired by Gabe Brown's Dirt to Soil. Listen in to hear Anna's journey, the lessons she's learned, and her vision for the future of farming. Doublewide - Gabriella Rose

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.

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!

For those that don't know, Ben's into intercropping. He is also a well respected farmer, farm consultant and last but most certainly not least... SFI nause (self proclaimed grant whore!). Andrew also interviews Ed... a lot more to delve into there! Ed's song choice! Unfortunately Ben's song choice...
1 hr 44 min
What better place to start than by interviewing the high priest of Regenerative Agricultural in the UK, Ben Taylor-Davies aka Regen Ben. That's after Ed interviews co-host Andrew in our first episode proper! Andrew's song! Ben's song!

Ed & Andrew introduce themselves and their Podcast to listeners in this short and sweet intro episode. If you're a farmer, rancher or grower, of any size or scale, you'll want to listen in as they discuss what the next evolution of farming may, or may not, look like!
