Beef and arable farmer Mark Jelly drops into The AG Show direct from the calving shed as he shares his experiences this spring. He talks us through the tech that’s helping him keep calf survival rates impressively high - all while trying not to get overshadowed by one particularly attention-seeking cow.

We’re also diving into fungicide resistance with AHDB senior crop protection scientist Catherine Harries, who breaks it down for us using insights from Niab’s long-term monitoring.

And finally… who’s been messing with the sacred pork pie? Someone’s swapped the pastry for bread - and we need to talk about it.
