#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.
