In this episode, we're at the Royal Welsh Show, where farm leaders say they will boycott a new agri-environment scheme.
Welsh government plans requiring trees to be planted on 10% of farmland make the proposed Sustainable Farming Scheme unworkable, says NFU Cymru.
Dumbing down Net Zero might be popular with politicians seeking votes – but what impact will it have on farm?
A major export contract will see 3000 lambs per week shipped abroad – helping to boost incomes for sheep producers.
Amid stubbornly high fuel and machinery prices, more farmers are considering strip tillage to establish autumn crops – we discuss the pros and cons.
And we meet the Royal Welsh Show ambassador with a difference.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with additional reporting by Farmers Weekly deputy editor Abi Kay and Welsh correspondent Debbie James.
