In this episode of Meet the Farmers, host Ben Eagle sits down with Alex and Emily Crawley, co-directors of Grazing Management Limited, to explore the concept of conservation grazing and their journey starting their business. Based in the Forest of Dean, the Crawleys are using native breed cattle, sheep, and goats to deliver environmental benefits on land managed by charities, government agencies, and private owners.Neither Emily nor Alex began their careers in agriculture. Emily comes from a background in the charitable sector (and also as a pilates instructor!), while Alex transitioned from a military and diplomatic career into land management, later earning a Graduate Diploma in Agriculture and becoming a Nuffield Scholar.Together, they've built a contract grazing business that earned them the British Farming Awards' New Entrant accolade within just two years. This conversation dives into three core themes: the power of farming to support environmental goals, the realities of starting a land-based business without owning land, and the bold personal journeys that led them to agriculture.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and Thomas Mlsna (Untamed Ambition) discuss various aspects of managing hunting properties, focusing on soil analysis, planting strategies, and the importance of conifer planting. He emphasizes the need for proper soil preparation and the use of specific tools for effective tree planting. The conversation also covers the significance of tree spacing and long-term planning for successful habitat management. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various aspects of tree planting, focusing on techniques, strategies for orchard planting, innovative mulching methods, and the importance of fencing and protection for young trees. They also discuss the significance of selecting quality seed stock to ensure successful growth and production in the future.   Takeaways: Soil analysis is critical for successful planting. Understanding soil pH is essential for plant health. Conifer planting requires careful consideration of species and size. Equipment plays a vital role in efficient tree planting. Subsoiling can improve water infiltration and root growth. Tree spacing impacts long-term growth and maintenance. Staggered planting can enhance visual appeal and management. Conifers provide excellent screening but require time to mature. Regular maintenance is necessary to manage invasive species. Planning for the future is crucial in habitat management. Consider spacing and tree size when planting. Plan for potential loss in tree survival. Wood mulch enhances soil health and moisture retention. Fencing strategies can protect young trees from deer and rodents. Planting in blocks can streamline maintenance and resource use. Quality seed stock is essential for successful tree growth. Orchard planting requires careful planning and protection. Innovative mulching techniques can improve planting success rates. Understanding deer preferences can inform planting choices. Layering plants in an ecosystem can maximize biodiversity.   Social Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://www.theuntamedambition.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 343 - Food Plots vs. Habitat Management: Are You Doing It Wrong?- Jared Vanhees - Habitat Podcast This week on the podcast we are joined by Jared VanHees of the Habitat podcast to discuss different strategies for habitat management outside of food plots, including fruit and screening trees, kill plots, funnels and purchasing your first property. Spring Preparation – Spring is the perfect time to focus on archery and habitat projects, including strategic tree planting and property management. Deer Movement Strategies – Habitat management techniques like hinge cutting, funnels, and screening with switchgrass can improve hunting success. Hunting Property Considerations – Evaluating property size, location, and neighborhood dynamics is crucial for acquiring and managing hunting land. Mature Deer Challenges – Hunting mature deer requires advanced strategies due to their heightened survival instincts. Public vs. Private Land – Each offers unique advantages; private land allows control over habitat, while public land provides more hunting opportunities https://habitatpodcast.com https://vitalizeseed.com/products/spring-food-plot-starter-kit https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.latitudeoutdoors.coms https://www.zingerfletches.com https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com https://www.bigshottargets.com  https://genesis3dprinting.com https://vitalizeseed.com https://waypointtv.com/#podcast  If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account. Any funds generated through our Patreon account are funneled right back into the podcast to help fund equipment, hosting fees and gear for reviews and giveaways and as always future hunts.  http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon   http://bit.ly/BowhunterChroniclesPodcas https://huntworthgear.com/?utm_source=Pro+Staff&utm_medium=Direct+Link&utm_campaign=Preseason+Sale https://www.spartanforge.ai - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.latitudeoutdoors.coms https://www.zingerfletches.com https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com https://www.bigshottargets.com  https://genesis3dprinting.com https://vitalizeseed.com https://waypointtv.com/#podcast  If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account. Any funds generated through our Patreon account are funneled right back into the podcast to help fund equipment, hosting fees and gear for reviews and giveaways and as always future hunts.  http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon   http://bit.ly/BowhunterChroniclesPodcas https://huntworthgear.com/?utm_source=Pro+Staff&utm_medium=Direct+Link&utm_campaign=Preseason+Sale Learn more about your ad choices.
