In Farmchat, Webby and Joe meet up with Jamie Lockhart who returns to the podcast over a year since his last appearance to chat about his Nuffield Scholar which will be taking him to New Zealand and Australia, the USA and the Netherlands to research his study topic of: "Unlocking the potential of data use and agri-tech within agriculture." We hear a potted history of the Nuffield Scholarship and how Jamie's application unfolded. Jamie explains why data is important to farms and how if we can collect and utilise it better what might be the benefits to farmers, especially as farmers have to concentrate efforts on efficiency more and more in the future.

We start this week with Andrew's latest thoughts on the markets in the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 2nd December 2019. In Farmchat Andrew meets up Fergus Fitzgerald, Head Brewer at Adnams, to talk about the importance of their Southwold roots and how drinks such as beer and gin are leading the way in a return to an appreciation of the subtleties of flavour. The relationship between Adnams and the Holkham Estate, who provide the malting barley for Adnams in a deal brokered by Dewing Grain, is discussed as an example of a direct relationship that helps to tell a story to the customer about provenance. Our beer this week is one of Adnams's most popular - Broadside - which at 6.3% gets the morning's trading off to a good start.

In this week's Farmchat we have part two of Andrew and Ian's meeting with Jake Fiennes, General Manager of conservation at Holkham.
