EP 49 | Joining us this week is Anna Bowen, a Welsh dairy farmer and advisor. Anna walks us through her farming practices, which are well-known to New Zealand Dairy Farmers but different to the majority of UK Dairy Farmers, and she discusses some of the most significant agricultural topics currently in the spotlight in the UK.

Find Anna at @thecowcalfcontactconsultant on Insta or on her website https://www.annabowenmedia.com/ to read her back catalog of articles and learn more about what she does.

043 | With December around the corner and Christmas on our doorstep we asked the question - what is the actual impact of our sneaky (sometimes guilty) Temu purchases on the small business landscape of NZ, particularly rural NZ?

We also covered off Fonterra's latest happenings - rising milk prices and what's happening with the consumer brands and back over to banking - the wild profits coming out of the big banks!!

041 | The rural banking inquiry, we have all heard about it but were we really aware of how necessary it was! We certainly weren't form Reserve bank policy settings to the actual banks themselves and even as farmers how we handle the situation. And overhaul is well called for. Thanks to the team at NZAB (not sponsored, just really liked their info) for putting together such thorough, informative information on this and providing a voice for the sector at the beehive!
