Show Notes
Michael, not from farming always knew he wanted in but didn’t know how. After a few jobs getting him a well grounded network in the sector he still wanted to farm himself. One failed tenancy application after another never stopped his dream and now farms his own farm still with plans to evolve. On top of this however he still found time to carry out a Nuffield scholarship, the farming ladder - one in which I advise you read, or at least skim! It’s an engaging read with stories from New Zealand, Australia, India, Cambodia, USA and France. People in these nations tell the points of challenges and benefits of being a first generation farmer there for Michael to bring back to the UK.
