Listen Later

Your hosts Andrew Jones & Neil Greggor, based in the South West of England, are this time joined by Giles Simpson , Agronomy Team Manager, Pearce Seeds LLP as well as the current Chairman of The Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show.

Giles discusses his own journey into the industry from following his father around a farm, to managing farms in his own right, to joining Pearce Seeds over twenty years ago to is position now as Agronomy Team Manager before discussing the primary subject of this podcast, Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show.

Giles discusses the history of the show, what goes on behind the scenes for the rest of the year that we don't see, the affect COVID had on the show and then why the Show has decided, after much debate to move from it's traditional one day format to a two day show.

We also discuss how the local agricultural show is our industry's "Shop Window" to the general public , to show them  essentially how their food is grown, be it livestock or arable.

This was recorded in May 2023 and all information was correct at the time of recording.
