Listen Later

In this episode, we ask who is to blame for Defra's reported £358m underspend on farming – and can it really be justified?

A better year ahead? After a challenging time, the latest forecasts suggest UK dairy has finally turned the corner.

We get to grips with the latest developments on precision breeding – which could pave the way for UK farmers to grow gene-edited crops.

We find out how blended finance is helping farmers fund nature recovery projects on a landscape scale.

And we speak to the newly crowned Farm Champion of the Year.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and specialist arable reporter Louise Impey.
