The year is coming to an end, cows are in the barn and agronomists are off skiing. Time for Andrew and Carl to ponder what they have learned over the past few months of digging into regenerative agriculture. And no, we haven't done the biostimulants follow up episode yet because we have been too busy and cannot be arsed. Follow us on Twitter @AgBullsh and get involved. Happy Christmas!

Buzzwords 3: Bonus episode - Regen Ag celebrity encounter edition!
Andrew & Carl on the drive back to Devon reflect upon having spent the day at a "Regenerative Agriculture Workshop" given by UnderstandingAg at Groundswell HQ UK. Has being in the presence of greatness (Gabe Brown, Shane New & Dr Allen Wiliams) tempered their scepticism?

Buzzwords 2: "Biostimulants"
Whether seaweed, amino acids or wizzard's-piss; there are hundreds of biostimulant products out there promising regenerative gold. Do the claims stand up to inspection or is it a load of bullshit?

Buzzwords 1: "Regenerative Agriculture"
Starting off with the big one! What is regenerative agriculture? Is all other agriculture degenerative? Is sustainability old hat? What about organic? Isn't it all just agriculture in the end? Exciting new frontier? Crazy cult full of dogma? Or just plain old bullshit? These are our thoughts..... Let us know what you think on Twitter @AgBullsh

Trailer: Asking tough questions of regenerative agriculture starts here.
Regenerative agriculture is making waves and changing minds but what is sound theory and what is bollocks? This is the start of the challenge to some of the claims that are being made. Andrew (ex-dairy farmer and animal husbandry expert) and Carl (over 30 years in agricultural R&D) take a buzzword at a time and test it for bullshit content. There will be a few guests along the way to help in the quest and we welcome your feedback and interaction through the Twitter page. @AgBullsh
