From UK Farms to Your Fridge: Kelly Seaton Talks Dairy, Drought, and Global Wheat Worries
They break down Farm24, the viral UK social media campaign giving farmers a real voice, then compare how British supermarkets and processors control the food chain differently than in America. Kelly gets personal about balancing motherhood with farm work, sparking a fascinating dive into the word "dairy" itself, rooted in medieval female laborers. She shares how she teaches kids to see dairy cows as working moms, just like their own mothers. The heat wave hitting UK wheat fields early, looming straw shortages, and climbing milk prices add urgency, while nitrate contamination and drought-resistant clover trends show farmers adapting fast. The episode closes on a critical global food security question: what happens when the world depends on countries like Ukraine for wheat? A must-listen for anyone who eats food and wants to understand where it really comes from.
