In episode 72 of Agsolutely Fabulous, Katja speaks with Robin Verrall—farmer, beef and lamb producer, author, publisher, and board and committee member in South Australia—about navigating global change, practical prepping, and supporting aging parents as winter approaches.They contrast city shopping habits with farm “pantry staples” and discuss readiness without panic buying, including keeping backups like flour, long-life milk, shelf-stable meals, gas cookers, battery backup landlines/radios, and organized, pest-proof storage, plus planning for power outages. They also discuss the emotional and social adjustments after COVID, including close contact in public spaces. For aging parents, they emphasize winter needs such as heating, wood/kindling, comfort foods in manageable portions, safer transport when driving becomes risky, staying connected through neighbors, and medication management via chemist blister packs, especially with dementia.Links & ResourcesLandcare Australia: https://landcareaustralia.org.au/Find or Register a Group: https://landcareaustralia.org.au/find-a-group/Learn how to Get Involved with Landcare here: https://youtu.be/3s74Lvmlutk💕 Support Our PartnersTHANK YOU TO OUR PODCAST SPONSORS!Farm Table – Your online hub for all things ag, connecting farmers with resources, events, and opportunities.
