Listen to some of the latest news from the farming sector and learn about the articles featured in the 4 September issue of Farmer’s Weekly in this latest episode of the Weekly Wrap podcast, presented by Denene Erasmus.

Some of the articles discussed in this week’s show include a report on the latest research conducted on nematode-resistant sweet potato cultivars and a profile about one of the earliest beneficiaries of South Africa’s land reform programme who, after more than 20 years, is still struggling to get much needed support from the state. In this week’s livestock production feature, a number of experts give their advice on the many advantages of regularly weighing your livestock, how to record this information and how to use it to make better management decisions.

As in previous episodes, Erasmus also highlights some of the top performing news articles from Farmer’s Weekly’s various platforms.
