Non-farming people wonder why farmers need agronomists, but when you consider how many can't apply sun cream at the right label rate and timing it makes more sense.

It's great when hydraulic engineering is fun and engaging for people of all ages, so we were left speechless when YouTube creator and self-proclaimed creator of crazy inventions: Colin Furze, created a Hydraulic "Hulkbuster" based on the suit from "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

Spring is here... DAFS are out

[Ben Martin @bencm305]

I recently launched the Farm Staff Network, an online and in person community for people that work on farms (in all capacities).

A platform for farm staff to connect, learn and help each other out.

Farming has never been more isolating and farm staff can often be over looked.

So I'm trying to do something about that.

Expect -
➡️ Online community covering all sectors, plus non farming conversations about money, wellbeing, fitness, parenting etc

➡️ In person meetups, social / wellbeing stuff and farm walks and tours for professional development.

➡️ Training, career support and job postings.

Want to get involved? Sign up here ⬇️

THE COST OF BEING DIFFERENT

I remember watching BrewDog when I was younger and being amazed by the journey.

Beer had become corporate and for old men who moaned about politics. BIG BEER had squeezed the life out of it.
Then two guys from Scotland came along and gave a middle hoofed salute to the multinationals. They weren’t just brewing beer - they made a whole new industry for a new generation.

The marketing was outrageous, hilarious, brilliant, bold and edgy. It felt like they were inviting people into something more than a product.

My favourite was when Aldi copied them and they fired back with “YALDI” IPA - it was like they took the German discounters on at their own game and won.

They weren’t saints, they made mistakes - with some pretty public ones.
But show me a business that grows that fast and doesn’t trip over itself along the way - it’s life, and our country doesn’t reward that enough.

What’s hard to watch is how it’s ended - a pre-pack administration pushed through by a huge American firm. In my opinion, that was the moment the ship started taking on water with TSG. A necessary step argued by some, but in reality it was just men in suits wanting to make more money (which didn’t really work out for them).

As someone trying to build a small dairy that pushes back against a dominant industry that doesn’t want to change, I feel it in a pretty personal way - It’s a bloody hard time to be independent. Cash flow is relentless, margins are horrendous, government seemingly doesn’t want us and the pressure doesn’t switch off.

BUT

to the people at BrewDog who’ve lost their jobs - I’m genuinely sorry. Building something disruptive takes guts and rebuilding after it takes even more. I hope you all find new positions out there soon.

Challenger brands matter - even when they wobble and when they fall.

They shift the conversation because they do one things their competitors don’t… which needs a quote from another disrupter

One who failed before building the biggest company in the world - with the odds of you reading this on a device he envisioned being over 50%
