About the show

Andrew Jones and Sarah Bolt bring you kitchen table conversations for the dairy industry, produced in the South West of England and listened to around the world. Now in its fifth year, each episode Andrew and Sarah are joined by a specialist from inside or outside the industry to discuss the practical and technical topics that matter to dairy farmers, advisers, and other industry professionals. They want to make you think about what you are doing — and ask yourself whether it could be done differently.
