Farmer Verity Megginson on regenerative arable farming

In the latest episode of Grounded: The regenerative farming podcast, Stuart and Kyle meet Verity Megginson, who farms arable and sheep in East Yorkshire. Verity farms 330 acres of arable at Kirkburn Manor Farm, with the help of her daughter and two teenage sons. She rents another 40 acres for grazing 100 Exlana ewes, which also graze cover and forage crops as part of the arable rotation. She originally used conventional methods when she took on the farm six years ago, but soon realised she wanted to farm in a different way. She joined Regenerate Outcomes in 2024. Tune in now to hear Verity’s story and hear more about regenerative arable farming, the link between regen and physiotherapy, glyphosate versus the plough and the problem of prejudiced foxes.

In the latest episode of Grounded: The regenerative farming podcast, Kyle and Stuart talk to farmer Tom Edmondson.
