Ever thought about a doctor for your crops? What does an agronomist actually do? Why do you need one?

In our final episode of the series, we speak with Louise Penn, skilled agronomist, who defines her role as a doctor for crops.

Talking about her upbringing on farm, her studies at Newcastle uni and her keen interest in science, Louise is sure to inspire you think differently about farming.

From the impact of the recent wet weather, the challenges with mental health to empowering women on social media, we cover many different themes.

Plus, we find out exactly how an agronomist is paid, what “regenerative farming” means and learn more about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.

Plus, we’ll be chatting about our week with RABI and greenhouse building!

With thanks to our main sponsor for the series, Howden Rural.

To our secondary sponsor Airedale Financial.

And finally, to you our dear followers and listeners. Without you, we couldn’t keep doing what we love.
