This show stays true to those it represents. Keep up the good work!
A great show with top notch guests for knowledgeable parts of the Agriculture sector and across the world. Lots of banter between Jamie, Row and guests. A voice for the farming community and there frustration. Highly recommended, keep up the good stuff team!
Finally listening to Jamie get into an MP about there double speak and nonsense(14/10/22). There pushing tax hikes while claiming to be on the side of farmers. Good on you and do it some more! ‘30% reduction in co2/kg red meat since 1990’ MP ‘don’t care we want $$$$!’
Lashes is absolute gold, rowena ok and Jamie tending to be more of a yesterday’s man?
