Seedling's Sean Laidlaw and Sebastian Chapman spoke to Jamie Mackay about farm succession on The Country today.
Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Sean Laidlaw and Sebastian Chapman, the two young entrepreneurs behind the new private equity business “Seedling”.
Seedling aims to help young farmers (and older farmers) tackle succession, amongst other things.
On with the show:
Jo Luxton:
Labour’s agriculture spokeswoman on Paris, methane, carbon farming, and Fieldays.
Peter Newbold:
How much is your farm worth?
We take our monthly look at the rural market with the general manager of PGG Wrightson Real Estate.
Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:
One of our leading farming academics chips in on methane and the Paris Accord.
Plus, she tells us why ducks are such a pest.
Sean Laidlaw and Sebastian Chapman:
We’re joined by two young entrepreneurs who have started up a new company called “Seedling”.
Seedling aims to help both those who want to retire from the farm and younger players who want to get in, with a focus on succession planning and investment.
