Thank you.
5:18
Morning, everyone.
5:18
Um, yeah, first thing, I just apologize.
5:21
I've got a bit of a cold and a cough, and I... usually I'd mute myself, but I really can't do that today, can I? So, um, just bear with me if I have to just pop off screen to cough for a bit.
5:32
So, um, yeah, so we, um, Emily said a little bit about, um, what we do.
5:37
So we're dairy farming in the north of Dorset.
5:41
We've been farming at this farm, which is a... we're tenants of the Duchy of Cornwall.
9:07
Can you tell us about what the summer has been like for you and what that looked like on your farm?
20:50
As it was
20:51
... uh, yeah, in the conventional form.
20:53
So, um, we're six years into strip till now, and the key part of that is the cover cropping.
20:59
So that's in the sort of arable side.
21:01
And then in the li- in the grazing area, we just got rid of all the, we'd, well, stopped using fertilizer on the grazing seven years ago.
21:09
I think that was a key thing, a, um, a key moment where people say you shouldn't go cold turkey and dip straight out of it.
21:17
But I kind of, when people say things like that, I [laughs] kind of said, "Well, we'll try that." Because I knew we were growing a lot of grass and we-- putting fert-- just didn't need the fertilizer.
