7: Combine Time: oil, archaeology and harvest experiences with Rick Davies

In this episode of the AHDB harvest podcast miniseries, we talk to Northampton Monitor Farm host Rick Davies while he cut oilseed rape.

Rick grows barley for Budweiser, oil for use in frying at McDonalds and KFC and wheat for Heygates.

He talks about his harvest experiences, machinery, safety, memories, a new iron age fort found on the farm and his dreams of an automatic grain store cleaner.
