In this episode we talk to Tom from Taraua about the Plantain trials before heading to the Waikato to catchup with 2022 Dairy Trainee of the Year winner Ed Roskam. All that happens after we recap some really interesting happenings in the dairy industry where we talk to a Director of Fonterra, visit a farm in the Hawkes Bay and attend the Organic Dairy Conference in New Plymouth.

This month the team at Down n' Dirty head to the Waikato where they catchup on farm with Logan and Sian Dawson - Waikato Sharemilkers of the Year. This time around we talk to Logan about how he approaches innovation on farm, his love of spreadsheets and genetics and Sian tells us about how photography fits into their lives. A future power couple of the dairy industry, Logan and Sian are a fun loving, hard working couple who redefine what it means to be a team.

It's our second episode and we are kicking things off with an incredible chat to the AMAZING Laura Koot.

She is a country girl, a southern lass yet she sold her soul to the corporate world, only to return to her grassroots down on the farm in Southland.

Now with 2 kids in tow and a thriving business on the boundary between South Otago and Southland, Laura is championing Women in the Rural Sector whilst building back her Tourism Business, Real Country, after the ravages of the Pandemic.

This is an inspiring chat with an inspiring Kiwi.

Welcome to Down n' Dirty, the podcast from down on the farm. Jolyon, Mike and Marty bring you stories from the grass roots, getting their hands, feet, and gumboots dirty as they search out and tell the real stories on farms, orchards or field.

No bullsh*t or all the cow sh*t you could hope for, whichever way you look at it the lads head out to talk to real people mucking in and making a buck from the land.
