Episode 3: Talking to Michael Blanche about lean management, sheep and lots of random things
Michael Blanche is a sheep and cattle farmer from Perth in Scotland. He is also the genius behind the Pasture Pod podcast.
We talk about how he is trying to build lean management techniques into his daily habits to target his weaker areas - organisation and order!!
He is passionate about low input systems and he talks us through the areas he focuses on and how he selects functional sheep.
We also cover covert filming in Travelodges, grazing groups, regenerative ag, anti-farmer agenda, grazing systems and body condition scores.
