Back to Episodes#65 | Celebrating Women in Ag and Catching Up with Katja and Gillian
Description
In episode 65 of Absolutely Fabulous, Gillian and Katja reunite in the studio to debrief recent events and station updates after widespread rain. Katja describes preparing for sowing oats and other crops and deciding between strip grazing, harvesting seed, or baling for fodder based on seasonal outlook and feed storage, while both discuss misconceptions about farmers’ intelligence and the constant high-stakes decision-making involved. Gillian reports good rain without flooding, knee-high grass, fat cattle, and travel disruptions from wet roads. She also recaps EvokeAg as ag-tech focused, including a cattle-identification-by-noseprint exhibit, and explains Farm Table’s Big City Barbecue and the launch of Farm Table TV as a podcast platform for Australian agricultural shows. Katjaa reviews the 2026 HarvestHer Power Conference, including an MC illness, deep-dive sessions on boundaries, burnout prevention, relationships, and community, notes sponsors, invites input for next year, and shares updates on The Ultimate Farm Wife, sponsorship needs, skincare testing delays, and a Little Farmers literacy feature.
