Launch of Online Training Designed Specifically for Rural Businesses

PR and Marketing agency Scene & Herd Ltd, has today launched a brand-new initiative, the OnFARM Academy, offering online training specifically designed and curated for rural and food and drink-related businesses.Born out of a recognition that not all in-person training is geographically accessible, that not all businesses and organisations can afford personalised bespoke training and that much current online training is not tailored towards rural business, the OnFARM (which stands for Food, Agriculture and Rural Matters) Academy is designed by rural business, for rural business.

Roll on to January 2020 and I found myself volunteering to interview my friend and farming neighbour, Doddie Weir, for my very first episode in the hot seat. Sorry, Doddie!
