Today as part of the Tales of a Nuffield Scholar podcast which aims to share the stories of Nuffield UK Alumni, we welcome Gavin Lane — a soon-to-be CLA President, passionate property investor, and longstanding advocate for British agriculture. 🇬🇧🌱
Gavin shares his incredible story of returning to farming under a contract agreement with his father, growing his own operation through grit and diversification. From contract farming to tenancy, he reflects on the differences, the hardships of the early 2000s, and what kept him grounded through volatile markets. 🚜📉
We dive into his experiences with property — from rural cottages to international ventures in Poland — and his views on managing risk, seizing opportunity, and maintaining joy in the process (yes, even when the Polish flat floods!). 🏘️🍺
Finally, Gavin shares his Nuffield journey in farm shop retailing, his involvement with the Worshipful Company of Farmers, and his leadership in the CLA. His honest insights on imposter syndrome and sector advocacy make this an essential listen for those shaping UK agriculture’s future. 🗣️📖
Enjoy! 😊
Thank you to Howden Rural for their support of this project.
The views in this podcast are that of those involved and not that of the Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust.
