   #89 | Roots, Rights, and Revolutions: An Honest Chat on Traditional and Regenerative Ag

   This week, don’t miss it as Katja and Gillian catch up on station and farm life, including renovations, recent cattle events, and travel to the NFF Leadership Forum and the Adelaide show, before previewing a live podcast recording and “activations” at Floriade tied to the International Year of Rural Women. They discuss encouraging youth into recreational shooting, emphasizing supervised training, safety, Australian licensing rules, and the discipline and life skills involved. The hosts then examine labor laws versus family farming, noting Australia lacks national data on children’s farm work, highlighting childcare and policy gaps, unpaid family labor (18% in 2016), women’s often-unrecognized contributions, and concerns about unpaid adult children and coercive control. They critique AI-generated regenerative-ag media imagery comparing perennial and annual wheat roots and promote Kim Storey’s What Does a Farmer Look Like? project. Finally, they outline HarvestHer Power fundraising webinars with Boyce Accounting on budget changes, working with accountants/banks, and succession planning, stressing advice is general.

   #89 | Beyond the Pasture: Horsemanship Meets LandCare

   This week, don’t miss it as Katja and Gillian discuss the difficulty of sponsoring visas for a young couple to work in remote Australia, calling the process overly complex and asking listeners with agriculture sponsorship experience for tips, while suggesting dairy farmers and abattoirs may have relevant visa experience. Katya shares updates on her upcoming Australian fiction romance book, due before Christmas, the first in a six-part family series set out west, and encourages pre-orders via a waitlist with personalized signed copies. They criticize “Farmer Wants a Wife” for using non-farmers and staged filming that misrepresents agriculture and misses educational opportunities. The episode then introduces an interview with Cassie Andrews, a Coonamble Landcare coordinator, about a May horsemanship clinic with Texas Star Performance Horses, linking horse welfare and safety to land management practices like rotational grazing, weed control, waterway protection, and community engagement through Landcare events.

   #88 | Agsolutely Fabulous Turns Two: Solar Panel Recycling, Sheep Zero-Waste, and Food Security Reality Checks

   Katja and Gillian celebrate two years of the Agsolutely Fabulous podcast, thank listeners, and discuss upcoming automation for a bare-bones website that will transcribe episodes into blog posts and schedule social posts. Katja promotes the upcoming Polldale bull sale in Dubbo on 26 August, highlighting QR-coded catalogs linking to YouTube bull videos and the extensive work behind stud sales. They preview and begin discussing key topics: a Dubbo Solar Recycling Hub proposal (supporting recycling but raising concerns about location on productive farmland, infrastructure/workforce needs, environmental risks like leaching, and better siting on existing industrial/contaminated coastal sites), a young listener’s “same sheep, zero waste” lanolin/wool question (not new, but lost urban knowledge; noting industry incentives for synthetics and advising ingredient checks and patch testing), and Channel 7 food shortage fears (expect bottlenecks and price rises, not running out of food, with suggestions for pantry backups and local producers).
