We start this week with Andrew's Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 25th November 2019. In this week's Farmchat we have part two of Andrew and Ian's meeting with Jake Fiennes, General Manager of conservation at Holkham. They kick off with the controversial question of whether shooting goes hand in hand with conservation. With public spending on UK biodiversity down 42% proportionally on GDP - they discuss financial support for farmers and the proposal of payment for public goods - services farmers could deliver such as soil health and biodiversity alongside food production. They also discuss the change in rape seed dressings and the lack of bees that were ever found in rape seed crops and increasing evidence of neonics negative effects on wildlife and the advantages of different drilling times for rape seed post the ban. They discuss other ways to increase diversity on farms and Holkham's project to encourage pink-footed geese to continue to over-winter on the Norfolk Norfolk coast.

We start this week with our regular look at the markets, including Andrew's latest insights, in the Dewing Grain Market Report for week commencing 7th October 2019. In Farmchat, Andrew and Webby are joined by Jake Fiennes, general manager of conservation at Holkham. Following the State of Nature report published last week Andrew is keen to get some answers on conservation and the environment. Jake is clear that he isn't an environmentalist and carefully calls himself a land manager and has many useful suggestions on how farmers can enrich their farming environments - such as stopping farming the crap and the use of long straw manure. He has some convincing arguments in favour of British beef farming - urging people not to associate American grain fed bovine with grass-fed beef and making the point that grass is a better carbon sink that a conifer forest. Jake is campaigning for a new award at the farmers weekly. Eventually they break open the beer- Redwell West Coast Pale Ale as Jake agrees to record a second part which will be out soon.

This week Andrew is in London interviewing Sam Watson Jones from the Small Robot Company - an agri-tech start-up focused on revolutionising the way that technology is used to farm. Sam is a fourth generation farmer, inspired by the work of Simon Blackmore in the National Centre for Precision Farming at Harper Adams and his vision for replacing much of the work done by tractors in fields with a series of high accurate, smart, lightweight robots. Following interviews with farmers the small team are focused on efficiently building an AI driven robotic service where three robots named Tom, Dick and Harry are out in the field collecting data and individually spraying weeds etc., whilst back at the farm, running the show, is Wilma. Wilma uses precise, up-to-date data from Tom and converts it into crop care instructions that, with the farmer's approval, are implemented by Dick and Harry.  In part one of this two-parter, Sam explains why he thinks this is the future of farming, a greener solution which uses the unique convergence of technologies from more efficient batteries to AI and satellite tracking systems.  The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 07/01/2019 gives you Andrew's latest insights into the markets and, as it's January, in Farmchat Andrew and Webby are sticking to the water as they discuss merchants' dreams of what they would like farmer's New Year's resolutions to be.

In part two of Andrew's interview with Sam Watson Jones of the Small Robot Company, Sam paints a picture of the future where farmers use the small precision robots on their farm as a service, allowing them to get on with other elements of farming and diversification better suited to their skills. He explains in more detail the potential he sees in these robots even potentially harvesting crops eventually and encourages Andrew not to see the farm in fields any more but down to square cms where you might see several different crops and environmental schemes in one field. Andrew is left musing as to whether, when Sam gets round to making an AI grain trading robot, he could name it after him? The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 14/01/2019 gives you Andrew's latest insights into the markets and, continuing with Dry January, Andrew and Webby sample a drop of Aylsham tap water as they talk about service vs front end price in Farmchart.  Thanks to our sponsors this week:  Ben Burgess - East Anglia's premier agricultural, construction & grounds care equipment retailer. www.benburgess.co.uk The Dewing Grain Podcast is co-produced by www.eastcoastproduction.co.uk and www.tinshedproductions.co.uk Dewing Grain - Independent grain trader for Norfolk & Suffolk 01263 731550 - www.dewinggrain.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

This week Andrew is over at AF (formerly Anglian Famers) to meet with CEO Jon Duffy. They talk about AF, how his first two years there have been and the excitement of being able to share £1million with its 3,500 shareholders this year. With Jon Duffy having formerly been business director for Frontier, Andrew sees it as very opportune to ask him about Frontier taking over the selling of the grain for the Fengrain store and subsequent tonnage that trades within it and ask whether Frontier are getting too powerful? They talk about the AF conference that is coming up and Jon slides in that there are still some tickets available. As usual, we bring you Andrew's latest insights into the market in the Dewing Grain market report for the week commencing 21/01/2019. In Farmchat, over a bottle of Badoit sparkling mineral water (which they can't pronounce), Andrew and Webby confess to a slight falling off the wagon during Dry January as they continue the discussion around the implications of Frontier taking on the grain marketing of Fengrain.  Thanks to our sponsors this week:  Ben Burgess - East Anglia's premier agricultural, construction & grounds care equipment retailer. www.benburgess.co.uk The Dewing Grain Podcast is co-produced by www.eastcoastproduction.co.uk and www.tinshedproductions.co.uk Dewing Grain - Independent grain trader for Norfolk & Suffolk 01263 731550 - www.dewinggrain.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

This week Andrew and producer Claire review their recent visit to the Norfolk Farming Conference organised by AF. They realise their age and cynicism and so have interviewed a few young guns from the conference to give a more balanced view. Overall, however, they are very complimentary of a fascinating conference and a good opportunity to catch up with others. They test out their plan for redirecting money to a PR company to promote the good practices of British farmers effectively, revel in Minette Batters' direct approach and reel from Sir John Beddington's climate change slides. They also discuss Andrew Fearne's lively contribution to the conference and realise that food provenance certainly isn't everyone's priority when it comes to choices in the supermarket. Ian Webster present the market report for week commencing 18th February 2019 and in Farmchat Webby discusses the Six Nations with Dewings trader and former professional rugby player Joe Beardshaw. In honour of their younger days, they sample a drop of Strongbow as they discuss the tournament so far and Joe gives an insight into training and what makes a team.  Thanks to our sponsors this week:  Ben Burgess - East Anglia's premier agricultural, construction & grounds care equipment retailer. www.benburgess.co.uk The Dewing Grain Podcast is co-produced by www.eastcoastdesignstudio.co.uk and www.tinshedproductions.co.uk Dewing Grain - Independent grain trader for Norfolk & Suffolk 01263 731550 - www.dewinggrain.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
