Tolly's farm is the chapter I'm about to start, so I'm a little intrigued to her more about it. One of the interesting assumptions made was around regional change to food production that could come if the extreme weather incidents continue, making many regions unable to grow food, pushing...

Its either magic or Voodoo.......

I'll let you know when I've got that far!

I'd agree, we live on an island, which, politics aside, is over populated, we're on the precipice of, at worst WW3, at best, a global food crisis, now isn't the time to be taking land out of food production and re-wilding it, or am I being too simplistic?🤷‍♂️

Which is the real shame, a collaborative approach is the only way we'll ever fix some of the environmental issues we face.

The first chapter was quite interesting on soil, obviously from his ecology background, but overall there wasn't anything earth shatteringly new that we didn't already know, sure, he's aiming at lot of this at a particular audience, I really don't get the narrative he pedals which insinuates...

I may be mistaken, but he only seems to have appeared on the speakers list very recently, interestingly he doesn't seem to have mentored it on his social media yet.

Out of of curiosity anyone got any current pictures of the infamous stretch of water and the surrounding banks?

Got to say that was possibly one of the best Demo days I’ve attended, loads of kit, the weather improved throughout the day and massively well supported by both suppliers and visitors, highly recommende.

Drying well at ScotGrass this morning…
