Today we welcome Tom Lamb onto the R2Kast. Tom discusses the family legacy on his 550-acre arable farm, highlighting his journey as the fourth generation to continue farming. He shares insights into their rotation of wheat, barley, and grass, with the inclusion of fallow fields for environmental schemes like the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). 🌾


Tom also talks about his long-standing friendship with YouTuber and inventor Colin Furze, explaining how they have collaborated on various creative projects, including the famous underground bunker and other engineering feats. 🤖


Tom's passion for engineering is clear as he delves into his love for machinery, from diggers to self-drive hires. He describes his decision to grow his machinery fleet and how it now supports his farming operations as well as his contracting services. 🚜


The conversation also touches on Tom's experiences collaborating with leading companies like Fendt and his work in content creation, providing opportunities for product demonstrations and training sessions for drivers. 📹


Enjoy! 😊
