This week, hosts Ben and Will are joined by Mark Larwood; winner of Farmers Weekly Dairy Farmer of the year award, along with his consultant and Kite Partner; Ben Watts. After another very positive milk market update from Chris Walkland with some notable and significant price jumps, Chris puts aside the football politics to congratulate Mark on his fantastic achievement. Fully recovered from the celebrations but still on a high, a very modest Mark talks us through the technical performance and farm investments, his winning team and what the award means to him. Ben, shares his thoughts on what is driving Mark’s business forward and sets him apart from others including key investments in genetics and staff, and comments on the winning combination of a healthy herd of cows and a healthy working environment. Mark also outlines what’s next for the farm and shares his insight into key challenges and opportunities for the industry. Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
