Oat wars, farm shows go ahead despite lockdown, Royal Highland Showcase, beef fears over UK-AUS trade deal, fertiliser prices, & Kaleb Cooper – star of Clarkson's Farm
Jun 18, 2021 Season 1 Episode 62

In this episode, we catch up with 21-year-old farmer Kaleb Cooper – the unexpected star of Jeremy Clarkson's latest TV series.

We ask Kaleb what it was like working with Jeremy – and how much of what we see in the eight-part series is real, and how much is for the cameras.

We speak to the Cambridgeshire farmer being sued by plant-based drinks giant Oatly – and examine the growing popularity of oats. 

On the markets, are fertiliser prices set to stay high?

We look at the agricultural shows going ahead – despite decision to extend lockdown by another four weeks. How do they do it?

And we examine the likely impact on British beef producers of the free trade deal agreed between the UK government and Australia.

This episode co-hosted by  Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom with Farmers Weekly senior livestock reporter Michael Priestley.
