The Farmers Weekly Podcast

Hottest May Day – crops swelter as temperatures soar, ground-breaking farm tenancies, Rothamsted redundancies, & food security – could rationing return?


Listen Later

Record-breaking temperatures see crops sweltering in the spring sunshine. A worry or just another challenge for arable growers?

UK former home secretary James Cleverly and Save British Farming campaigners say the government must take food security more seriously.

As the UK commemorates the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe and the end of World War Two, we ask, could we really see the return of rationing?

A ground-breaking new farm tenancy agreement – how the Crown Estate and the Tenant Farmers Association are working together.

And Rothamsted Research – the world’s oldest agricultural research station – announces a big restructuring and 90 redundancies.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
