Welcome to the first official episode of The Weekly Wrap!

In this podcast, we discuss the 27 March issue of Farmer’s Weekly, which focuses on new farm technology, as well as skills development.

The features in this issue include information about the latest trends and developments in irrigation, and an article on some of the best mobile apps available to make life easier for farmers. We also look at the most in-demand skills in the farming sector, and why there are so many graduates that are unemployed.

We also speak about the impact the novel coronavirus outbreak is expected to have on the supply chain, the increase in the poultry tariff and various stakeholders’ response to this, as well as the drop in the oil price and how this will affect farmers.
