James is back from Australia and straight into the start of our 2026 spraying season. After weeks away, we roll the sprayer out for the first time this year and get back into the rhythm of crop protection as spring work begins across the farm. We also take a detailed look at Hectare Trading, who they are, how the platform works, and how digital grain marketing could change the way farms sell crops in the UK. Alongside this, we continue preparing the farm for the season ahead with hedge replacements, mustard cleaning, and the final completion of our new boardroom. From first sprays of the year to the future of grain trading, this episode marks the transition from winter work into a new farming season.

James continues his visit to Australia, joining large-scale grower David Cox to explore how grain farming operates at true continental scale, from paddock to port. We look at how Australian farms market grain using CGX, run their own lorries to CBH receival sites, and manage huge volumes through open bulk storage systems capable of holding 33,000 tonnes per store. From grain pits and conveyors to extended weighbridges designed for Australian road trains, this is grain logistics on a completely different level. Out in the field, we see cultivation with a Quadtrac, lime spreading operations, and the machinery choices suited to vast acreages and dryland systems. We also touch on wool production, farm accommodation for seasonal labour, and the infrastructure required to support farming across Western Australia. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at Australian grain farming — and how it compares with UK arable systems.

James heads to Australia to visit a truly impressive dairy operation, where over 1,100 cows are milked twice a day. Hosted by Ed Cox at Waterhatch Dairy, this episode explores how large-scale Australian dairy farming works — from logistics and machinery to feed systems and long-term farm strategy. We look at how the farm manages its own haulage fleet, produces maize silage and hay at scale, and balances dairy and beef enterprises. There’s also discussion around growth hormones, genetics and productivity, alongside a rare look at calves being born and the realities of running a multi-generation dairy business. Beyond livestock, we explore the broader farming system — including direct drilling with Great Plains kit, Claas tractors, wind turbines and solar installations helping power the operation. We even catch up with a former P.X. harvest student now back farming his own farm in Australia. This is a fascinating comparison between UK and Australian agriculture, showing the scale, efficiency and challenges of dairy farming on the other side of the world. If you farm dairy — UK or overseas — we’d love to know: what surprised you most about Australian systems?
