In this episode, Queen guitarist and wildlife campaigner Brian May is under fire after calling for an end to badger culling in England.

The complaints come head of a  BBC TV documentary in which Sir Brian argues that badgers are wrongly blamed for spreading bovine tuberculosis.

We look at why British holidaymakers have been banned from bringing back feta cheese from Greece this summer.

The move is part of a wider ban on UK imports of sheep and goat products  from Continental Europe, which is being ravaged by a ruminant disease.

 We've a harvest update and all the latest commodity prices – and find out why Clarkson's Farm means a boost for agricultural students.

And we discover why a snail farm in a Liverpool office building is at the centre of allegations about tax avoidance.

This special episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Scottish farmer Sandy Kirkpatrick.
