  • Episode 15: Christmas special with the East of England Agricultural Society
    Dec 27 2025

    This special episode features an experimental recording at the East of England Agricultural Society's Scholars Day. Both Liz and Nerys are scholars and were invited to join the training day. The recording features other scholars, and was done on a roaming mic in the bar, so forgive the slightly interesting audio.

    See here for more information on the Scholars Programme. The next application deadline is the 22nd of February 2026 and is available to people living in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, plus parts of Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire.

    Nerys and Liz are extremely grateful to the EEAS for their support. Nerys' recent visit to the International Sheep Veterinary Congress was supported by them, and their contributed towards Liz's attendance on the CREATE Althorp course.

  • Episode 13: Talking to Richard Stanbury about his farming business and the importance of finding your support network
    Nov 18 2025

    Richard Stanbury is a fourth generation beef and sheep farmer from near the edge of Exmoor in Devon. He has changed his system towards a high grass and forge system, with a focus on reducing inputs and maxmising profit. He has moved towards Easycare ewes.

    He is working with Nerys of the ParaSight project, so they talk about his plans to make sure he is using his data effective and the technology is helping him make decisions rather than taking up time and patience
