Cab Chat #10 - Deere Jhonny

This week Will is joined by not only dairy farmer Christine but also by Cab Chat stalwart Jhonny! The threesome head off to support their mutual buddy Jeremy at a veteran show at Silverstone. Surely it's just carnage with these three, but we do manage to talk to Christine about her life in and around agriculture and what she enjoys and wants to do! In her spare time Christine makes hand puppets of all the people she chats to on Instagram. When milking cows, she turns Cab Chat off and instead sings "Close your eyes and leave it all behind. Go where love is on our side. It's a trust fall, baby. It's a trust fall, baby. You and I and everyone, alive. We can run into the fire. It's a trust fall, baby. Yeah, it's a trust fall, baby"…

This week Will is joined by Edd Lovett. Ed isn't from a farming background but is desperate to get behind the wheel of a tractor. Edd has a large collection of used car tyres he finds in ditches and enjoys long walks around abandoned car parks. While doing that he likes to sing "He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say? He wanted her, she'd never tell, secretly she wanted him as well. But all of her friends stuck up their nose, they had a problem with his baggy clothes"…

This farming week farmer Will is talking about farming with farmer Nick, formerly known as Nick’s Farm. They meet at the farm and use the farm truck to leave the farm and go outside the farm, but they talk about all the farming issues facing farming and the farming future of farming. Farming is a tough job on the farm and the future for farming isn't secure, so both farmer Will and farmer Nick share their farming views on farming’s future. So sit back and relax like a farmer in a tractor and catch up with your two favourite farmers in this week's episode of the country’s favourite farming show and farming podcast... Cab Chat!! When he's flat out farming, Nick always sings "Are you ready? Tractor Ted is asleep in his shed, as the cockerel says good morning, so much to do, farmer Tom and Mitch too, down on the farm, exploring"… Let’s go farming with Cab Chat…

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?"… You can't find Nick online… he is like a super spy or a ghost…
