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

My first guest is dairy farmer Bruce Thompson and fellow Nuffield scholar. I've been talking a lot about parasites for the last couple of weeks. So who better to talk about them with, than a farmer who is researching this very topic. WATCH the video above.
So episode one of maybe many we talk "sh1t" but hopefully make some sense.
We discuss
His farm and current animal health challenges
His interest in dung beetles and how they play a role in worm control
The use of FECs on-farm and much more
Huge thanks to Bruce and follow his story on twitter @friesian_man
Happy, safe farming
