The Farmers Weekly Podcast

04-11-2022 • 42 mins

In this episode, why politicians are being urged to put their money where their mouth is when promising to back British farming.

One year after Boris Johnson outraged pig producers by dismissing the crisis engulfing the sector, how are farmers faring now?

With some arable farmers ripping up oilseed rape, we look at the prospects for the crop over the coming season.

We find out how young farmers get on the farming ladder in West Africa.

And we meet the seed merchant donating grain for a local mill to turn into flour for a local food bank.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom. Additional reporting by Charlotte Cunningham, Andrew Meredith, Philip Clarke, Phil Case and Ed Henderson.
