Conversations with interesting people doing inspiring things in agriculture My name is Tommy Heffernan a veterinary consultant interested in all things agriculture. I’ve been lucky over the last number of years to have some great conversations. These have often inspired me around areas of animal health and beyond. So, I said, why not start having more of them and sharing some of these inspiring stories of people in agriculture. I also want to challenge my thinking and who knows, even occasionally, the status quo. So I’m giving #Aginspire conversations a go for a few months. The aim is simple “To have conversations with interesting people doing inspiring things in agriculture”.ast weblog
