In this episode, we run the rule over Defra's new food security index – will it really mean a better deal for British farmers?
We get the lowdown on Rishi Sunak's second Farm to Fork Summit – and ask whether the Prime Minister's garden party for food producers will achieve anything?
Is it positive for pigs? An upbeat Pig and Poultry Fair suggests the sector is on the road to recovery. But is it enough to see off shadows on the horizon?
How technology is helping to optimise farm margins in a challenging year for arable growers and livestock farmers.
The two pieces of technology mentioned in this item are the free Ruumi grazing app and Yagro's crop tracker software.
We’ve got our regular market roundup and the latest commodity prices.
And we meet the female farmer who hopes to shear more than 400 sheep in 24 hours for charity – despite having had 11 knee operations.
To go along and support Rosie Hazlewood during her sheep shearing challenge – or simply to make a donation, please visit her Facebook page.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Scottish farmer Sandy Kirkpatrick with additional reporting by Phil Case.
