Leprino and the UK Agri-Tech Centre have teamed up for Season 1 to discuss various issues in the sector and are joined by a series of special guests.

Efficiency! Everyone says you should do it better, but very few tell you how you’re supposed to make that happen.

In this episode, Helen Brookes, UK Agri-Tech Centre, and Ben Williams, Leprino Foods discuss one such pilot programme that has helped 10 farms see a £1 million reduction in their collective cost of production in just 12 months.
Importantly we hear from one of the farmers on why they embarked on such a programme.

Supported by the very talented Michael Blanche of Pasture Pod fame and the team from Dairy Insights and Fedden-USP.

You’d think we’d have covered all things feed when discussing soy, but there's a lot more to feeding cattle than meets the eye.

Is it all as simple as we make out? Perhaps not. We discuss the ups and downs of seeking feeding perfection from farmers and those at the coal face of getting the best yield with the inputs available to the latest in potential silver bullets to end our climate change challenges.

We also discuss the positives and negatives of fiddling with the feed we put in front of cows.

Supported by ADM and Perfekt Cow.

Somebody had a bright idea, but was it a good one? Can going soy-free be achievable, and is soy really the ‘best feed’?

Podcast hosts, Helen Brookes, CIEL and Ben Williams, Leprino Foods discuss the art of the possible, listen to farmers who have made bold steps and discuss who to talk to and what discussions to have if you are under pressure to look at what you are feeding your livestock.
