Cheers for having me for a chin wag

[@workmax6526]

Now fed by farmers is getting into the big leagues with getting Crawford on! Great podcast.

[@nuancematters]

I grew up in Aberdeenshire and had an obsession with castles, so I decided to study Celtic Civilisation in university. I then went on to do psychology. I got a job in a psychiatric hospital but hated it. However, I have always wanted to have a farm...it is still an ambition but money will dictate whether that can happen. I don't really use my Celtic degree in a job either, but I have written articles for magazines in the past and it's still a big passion of mine...I am considering creating my own magazine some day, because it's a shame to just not use something that I spent so many years working towards. I love English and languages as well.

Great crack with Crawford….he s right about the shop…because I followed his vlogs, I ordered on line and then went and collected…..it was a fantastic day..I collected my order , then did another round of shopping and got a table and had a lovely lunch. Would recommend to anyone. All the food was fantastic

[@MM0IMC]

Iona has a wicked laugh!👍🤣

[@judyphillips7892]

That was really fun. I love the way you weave lots of personal and business facts into a relaxed conversation. Good job, Cammy and Iona. You're a great team, and gifted at putting a diverse array of people at ease, to share their lives with us. Always a treat to see Lizzy and your boys. Waiting now to see your wee Bonnie.💞

[@WhirlyPearly]

Check her stories she’s got pictures on there!😊

[@beccyhussey1016]

Great episode. Love Crawford 🥰 and Obvs Cammy and Iona 😎

[@brigidconroy2111]

This is a cool vlog farmers need an easily accessed forum that they can access when they have time ❤

[@katesterling8915]

Enjoyed this one. Nice to hear other points of view. Great to see young farmers enjoying farming & making the most of what they have but looking to the future as well. I wish I live close by to pop in. I'll have to pop to his channel and take a look. 👏🐄🐑🌾🤩

[@ggjoy9541]

Love watching Crawfords Farm channel, Thank you for another great show.

[@mj3026]

Finally I have been waiting for a few months for this, thank you guys I love watching all your content 😊❤

[@ArchieGilchrist-qn2qm]

Another good podcast with Crawfords Farm keep it up guys

[@willyfindlay4398]

Fantastic Vod-cast . 😊 I came across Cammy when he buried himself in Crawfords barley in his barn. So you have to thank Crawford for me watching you and your KZbin channels.😊😊 Thank you all. PS seeing Lizzie and the Boys.😊❤

[@kirstywallace8795]

I wish school would of taught us how to compare electricity companies or how to chose or read the fine print of insurance policies, bank loans. (Australia)

[@marthacapyk8567]

At first, I was surprised at how much I learned and enjoyed the early podcasts. Now I listen because I just know it will be interesting and informative. Now I’m just pleased to tune in and listen. Thank you.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Crawford’s Farm is a great Chanel. I think the young man sells his abilities short. I sure wish I could travel to “the other side of the pond”.

[@lyndonbarry1515]

Gidday Men, love your work ❤ The reason the grain price is so volatile is as you identified, it's a commodity which means it is traded on the world stock exchanges meaning speculators and hedge funds are trading for bargains driving prices down and up for profit dividends. It's crazy our lives are affected so badly by a speculator on what he thinks will occur in 2 or 3 years. Keep up your great youtube shows. I look forward to seeing them daily.

[@emmett1739]

Brilliant , great craic and content .Also watch Crawford's channel and enjoy the style of presenting . Feeding his customers from farm to fork .That corner unit is beginning to look like complimentary gift offering central , that looks like a Crawford's Farm baseball cap.

[@amandagoodman2980]

Interesting and fun podcast. Crawfords accent is just like the Hoof GP’s 😆

[@margobrown6140]

Took a steak pie back from the shop a couple of weeks ago when we popped into the cafe for lunch - super tasty. We visit sometimes when we're in Perth to see our daughter. Yes we had to queue a wee bit but worth while & perfectly managed. The set up is impressive but still has the personal touch, sadly lacking in some places that grow too big.

[@peterwild9459]

Mid 80's NZ stopped farm subs...best thing ever, many farmers went golfing or fishing everyday...the pain was horrific but it got the land back to real farmers and production increased

[@pjk1714]

I subscribed to Crawford's but despite marking all, never received notification. I actually forgot about him until this morning. Another great podcast. Hug Bonnie for us.🌻🦋

[@keithaspin5160]

That was one of your best podcasts so far.....I subscribe to The Sheep Game and Crawford's farm......so it was a real treat to see you both in the same podcast...with Iona taking care of business!!!...good too was the cameo from Lizzy and the boys......yep I'd say one of the best podcasts I have seen this year...great engaging content.!!!!!!!! Well done everybody !!!!

[@AndyG-lb4og]

Amazing once again you two 👏. Two of my favourite KZbinrs keeping it real 👌

[@amandadouthwaite1863]

Great job, some excellent points made again. I agree 100% with the need for life lessons in school also lessons the kids want to do will get such better use from and results. Also, not everyone is academic. A lot of us are more for manual and skilled work, not on paper for 3 to 5 years. You're so right on the environmental impact the Uk has on the world. i think i heard it's just 1%. Wow, what a huge difference we will make when all our targets are met 🙄 and our prime farm land is lost. Im sure the powers that be do not want us to feed our own country or they would be behind all UK farmers. Also listen to how the land should be managed as it has for millenia by farmers!. Thank you guys 💜

[@ViviennePlatt]

Another great podcast Cammy and Iona 🥰

[@tikkathreebarrels]

Excellent podcast. Interesting to hear two young farmers acknowledging what our politicians are incapable of, realising that whatever happens on this tiny island of ours makes not a ha'porth of difference to global pollution/CO2/greenhouse gas levels. Why oh why can't they get it? Would it it good if every schoolchild had compulsory lessons in economics? £180 for a tonne of wheat or a single fat lamb? Is one easier to produce than the other? Excellent!

[@KathiBrent-Brakefield-xg3qj]

Cammy….I so agree with you about the maths. I studied physics at university because of my love of maths. There is no maybe or grey area - it’s either yes or no. Black or white. Logic Rocks. I used it to learn practical things like taxes and business management…and it’s suddenly becoming a valuable skill set.

[@chrissiemorton4126]

loved it

[@andrewjardine3820]

Another good video thanks

[@TCJones]

This came 3 days to late, I passed Perth on my way home from Coylumbridge on Saturday would have called in to see the shop.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Excuse for another trip then! 😂

[@TCJones]

@@FedByFarmersPodcast You may be right, but it's not a day trip from Liverpool 🤣🤣🤣

[@brigidconroy2111]

Iona when you speak to children about farming as a career maybe you could consider rural medicine and other career options in rural areas that could include farming OR in New Zealand the schools had agriculture projects where the students may raise an animal or crop so that the children could have a respect for what is involved especially if the garden is outside vulnerable to weather and pests Just a thought ❤ Am loving the vlog even if some words fly past my American ears😂

[@llamarama111]

I can’t believe you are only at 9k subscribers- come on subscribe and support the channel if you want to be Fed by Farmers guys. Love the chat with Crawford and a glimpse of Lizzy and the kids. Can’t wait to meet Bonnie 😀

[@greywater3186]

I watched some of Crawford’s videos after watching this. He made good use of the free gear you set him up with as I saw him wearing it in at least two different videos.

[@TMY248]

Nice one guy's ❤️

[@jeannorthover8894]

I left school at 15 years did aprentship in hairdressing l am now 80 years old retired last year best move l ever made

[@salmonhunter7414]

congrats on your new child

[@Oak_Hollow]

No wonder it takes me so long to wake up. I'm at work before the sun comes up, and pretty much stuck indoors. Office is in the basement, too.

[@immoosiesmom]

Guys, check out Gabe Brown, Will Harris, and a few other regenerative farmer/ranchers who have been able to stop spending money on inputs and are growing soil, crops, and ruminants of all species. Putting animals back on the land and using adaptive multi-pasture grazing techniques to fertilize. Using 20+ species of plants as a cover crop in preparation for the crop you want to plant. Love the farmers and ranchers and the amazing work you do.

[@fanfeck2844]

Great podcast barring the bad jokes

[@77bountiful]

Wouldn't it be brilliant if schools had farmers of all areas of farming, in to give kids the source of everything that ends up on their plates? And explain that it doesn't come from the supermarket shelves.

[@jillcrowe2626]

Wales was once a rainforest, to my understanding. Why not plant trees in the Welsh mountains?

[@KrisFrew]

I’m self employed and I’ve still no idea about tax etc 😂 I know I pay it but other than that , clueless 😂😂 On the side of farmers though, my 8 year old loves all things farmers, he watching sheep game, dalscone and cannon hall along with me and he’s dead set he wants to be a farmer and I’m all for it cz I want to help during lambing etc ❤

[@piperboyjamie]

Talk of trees but no mention of Blackies in this one. Must be a sign of the times 😂

[@lyndonbarry1515]

Hey Crawford Ditch them pink socks 😂😂

[@tammykaltreider]

✌️🤍

[@vindeljay]

I was really keen to hear about Crawford's farm and his world, but it went on a tangent somewhere else. I lost interest until 28 min, nearly turned it off.
