234 – Jock Willmott – The New Generation of Farming

For this week’s guest originally from Wales, moving to East Anglia was quite the change. Willmott discusses how his thriving company has just marked its two-year anniversary; a farming team breaking the mould for land agents. Andrew & Jock talk about the ways of making future farming businesses resilient and that it is all about production & schemes. Willmott aims to keep encouraging the agriculture sector to keep making money through farming and remaining productive. They go on to discuss the big threat to farming and how it is getting tougher; Jock explains ways of encouraging this generation to carry on their legacy. Andrew interprets how choosing to be a farmer for future generations is more complex because he believes they have more choice. Andrew just knows that he would win “Grain Trader of the Year” …if only it existed! Since we can expect to see harvest in the middle of July this year, Jock informs us on the sorts of crops we can expect to be coming our way & Andrew is calling carbon “b******s”. Tune in to find out why! As always, thanks to our listeners, old and new, and remember to keep in touch by heading over to @dewinggrain on Twitter and Instagram.
