Cutting Inputs and Output to Increase Profitability - investigating 'The Profitable Farm' with Chris Clark and Brian Scanlon
Today, we're diving into one of the most critical challenges in farming todayprofitability. How do you balance the demands of business, the realities of nature, and the need to manage energy and resources sustainably at a time when income sources and profitability itself is undergoing change?
To help us explore this, Im joined by two returning guests who are tackling these questions head-onfarm consultant Chris Clark and physicist Brian Scanlon. Together, they've written a new book, very recently published by 5m books and titled The Profitable Farm: Balancing Business, Nature and Energy through MSO, which stands for Maximum Sustainable Output. And make sure you keep listening to the end of the episode because there is a discount code which will give you 25% off the book and Ill tell you what that code is later.
Long standing listeners amongst you may have caught our bonus episode back in June 2023 which was when Brian and Chris were last on the show, and if you did then youll already have a taste of their thinking. If not, dont worrywere going to unpack it all right here, but I recommend scrolling back to that episode. Today, we'll be digging into the book itself, discussing what Chris and Brian have been learning and developing since their last appearance on the show, and what MSO might mean for the future of your farm.

Cycling, Swimming and Running 550km and Raising Money for RABI - the Borderline Challenge with Hugh Addison
Today on the show, we’re diving into an incredible story of endurance, resilience, and getting behind the agricultural community. Joining Ben is Hugh Addison from Cumbria, who, with his sister Alex and a few friends, is gearing up for a once-in-a-lifetime endurance challenge—which they have called the Borderline Challenge. This September, they will cycle, swim, and run a staggering 550km from Sligo in Ireland to the mouth of the Tyne in England, using nothing but human power.
The challenge is also about raising vital awareness and funds for The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute (RABI)—a charity supporting the mental health and well-being of those in rural and farming communities.
Today, we’ll hear from Hugh about why he and Alex have taken on the challenge, we’ll hear about how they are training for it, and their personal connection to the cause they are supporting. We’ll also explore the highs and lows they anticipate, from cycling across Ireland’s rugged landscapes to braving the icy North Channel swim and running the length of Hadrian’s Wall.
