Episode 9: Royal Welsh, Game Fair & #Farm24: Inside the UK's Biggest Farming Events

Put your thoughts into the mixThis week, we’re de-briefing you on a couple of hectic weeks with a fair bit of time adventuring around the country! We're moving from the heart of Wales to the #Farm24, the UK’s biggest digital celebration of British farming.We kick things off at the Royal Welsh Show, and trust us when we say it's seriously Welsh! There's definitely two sides to the show... From the iconic sight of Welsh cobs in the main ring to nights at Penmenau, plus Charlotte gives us the real insight on that pronunication! Amongst the proud tradition and full on party we chat about why we were actually there as part of a panel exploring the future of farming.In typical fashion, the conversation takes a few side tracks and unexpected turns before we stop at The Game Fair... Schöffel, G&Ts and spaniels galore! We unpack the purpose of events like this, the surprising range of people they attract, and the big role field sports play in shaping rural life and landscapes. Then, it’s all eyes on #Farm24 — the UK’s biggest digital event celebrating British farming, in partnership with Farmers Guardian and Morrisons. You'll hear from Emily at Farmers Guardian before we hand the mic to a few of this year’s brilliant ambassadors:Amy Wilkinson shares a farming myth that drives her madFrank from Leegate Farm talks about the deeper meaning beyond the hashtagsNigel Owens imagines farming as a sport (and reveals what would totally wipe him out)Coco Jalloh shares the daily rituals that get her through a busy farming dayWe’d love you to get involved too — join in on Thursday 7th August by sharing your farming story using #Farm24.
