Queens, DB5’s and Wheat!

Our guest today grew up on an arable farm and knew it was always for him but has went around the houses before ending up at home!

Jamie stoles studied agriculture because operating as a mediator and consultant between farmers and researchers for the national trust and then the crown estate!

After a while doing this he took over the management of the family 1000ha arable unit with his two cousins!

His addiction to all things cars is the main bane of his bank account’s life but he’s since taken on a Nuffield scholarship looking at vertical farming integration into UK agriculture on a large scale!

Just some good craic this really!

Enjoy!
