In this episode Jono sits down with educator and author John King.

You may have read some of John's articles in various publications or his books. John is passionate about helping farmers help themselves through dialogue.

John has found that getting farmers together in a room or out in a paddock (or on a bus so they can't run away!) is one of the most powerful ways to stimulate conversation and knowledge sharing. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy with a sharp wit, as you'll hear in this conversation.

John tells it how it is and believes that it's up to farmers to make the changes they want to see. As he says: "No-one is coming to save you. You just have to get off your ass and do it!"

Sit down, grab a cuppa, get that tractor radio turned up and enjoy this classic and compelling yarn with John King and host Jono Frew.

2023 Quorum Sense

In this episode, Jono sits down for a pre-sunrise yarn with Logan Wait.

Logan's family have been dairy farming in the Waikato for a century and a half, but this conversation is not so much focused on the family dairy farm...

Instead, Logan shares a brand new concept: Earth First Food.

Earth First Food creates the opportunity to buy high quality, direct-to-consumer meat products from farmers transitioning to regenerative agriculture. And in doing so support the local food system whilst investing in the health of our soil.

Tune in to hear Logan's story, from being asked to provide meat for a corporate event to developing this system. It changes the way we market meat as farmers, allowing for better story telling and giving consumers a way to build relationships with the farmers who supply them with meat.
