²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian editor Olivia Midgley caught up with Olly on a recent visit to FG's headquarters in Preston, Lancashire, where he toured and cut the ribbon (baler twine) to the publishing group's recently refurbished offices.

Olly, who is a loyal supporter of FG's #Farm24 digital campaign and its #FarmingCAN public awareness initiative, talked about raising the profile of British farming and why talking about mental health in agriculture is a cause close to his heart.
