In our latest "The Farmers Club Private Podcast", we interview Australia's most celebrated Red Meat and Livestock analyst, Simon Quilty. The first half was about Simon, his career and how he rose to the top. In the second half, we got his opinion on a wide range of topics involving the Meat and Livestock industries. This one, folks, is well worth taking out a subscription for. If you are in the Livestock game, it's a must-listen.
Talk about how to build a business. Simon and his business partner, American Brett Stuart, have over 2000 subscribers to their newsletter and podcast. We will write about how the business cleverly came to fruition and why they publish their A-grade material behind a paywall. It's fascinating.
Over on our Short-form "End of Message" podcast, we have guest Shane Ruyg from Farmer Tender, who gives us his fortnightly rundown of the Hay industry goings on in under 7 minutes.
Machinery cabin tech is overwhelming many of our Farmers. The Manufacturers don't seem to be reading the tea leaves when it comes to this issue. We have had several replies on this subject, and one Farmer wants to go back to levers as opposed to buttons. We wrote about it today.
Aussie Agriculturalist Tim Neale is doing a bit of a post-Agritechnica tour around Europe. He has landed in England, he got to hear and witness firsthand how the Pommy Farmers are going, and he doesn't paint a great picture. The socialist lefty politicians have no care for the Farming fraternity. We wrote about it today.
Have a great Saturday, and subscribe to start your day fully informed.
