This week we are joined by Jim Shanks. Jim farms in Hawick in the Scottish Borders along with his wife and his parents. There they milk 130 holsteins on robots and also have an aerobic digester which converts the slurry and dung into power for their 4 acres of glasshouses where they grow Tomatoes. They are Scotlands only commercial tomato producer and Jim gives us some fantastic insights into a world we know nothing about.
We hope your enjoy
