Show Notes

This week, with the UK money markets in turmoil – we examine the impact of the government's 'mini-budget' on your farm business.

As Defra confirms it is "rapidly reviewing" its flagship Environmental Land Management scheme – we ask: what is the future for ELMs?

We meet the dairy farmer making bokashi – fermenting muck and slurry to retain more nutrients and reduce emissions.

And we speak to the Scottish tractor driver trying to make the farming world a safer place – after losing his thumb in a circular saw

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker with Charlotte Cunningham and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom.
