The Farmers Weekly Podcast

Verdict on government spending review, outrage at imported supermarket beef, bumper Cereals event, & top accolade for 21-year-old oat variety


Listen Later

In this episode, UK farm leaders voice dismay after three major British supermarkets start selling beef from Australia, Uruguay and New Zealand.

Is the government's spending review really better than expected when it comes to farming and the environment?

We discuss the implications of departmental cuts at Defra – and the impact for growers and livestock producers.

We spend two days at the Cereals event – the UK's annual showcase for the combinable crops sector.

And we discover why plant breeders behind a 21-year-old oat variety are celebrating after being awarded a rare industry accolade.

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

Recorded live on Wednesday and Thursday 11-12 June 2025 at the UK Cereals event at Heath Farm, Leadenham, Lincolnshire.
