Tim and Nick discussed the severe drought affecting crops, noting that Northern Ireland and Scotland have received more rain than the south, except for Devon and Cornwall. They highlighted the need for at least three inches of rain to save  crops, which are currently dying due to lack of water. They emphasised the importance of soil carbon levels and the challenges of maintaining profitability with low commodity prices. They also discussed the impact of high temperatures on grain quality and the potential shortage of feed wheat. Upcoming talks on regenerative farming practices and the benefits of organic charcoal were mentioned.
