Farmer's Weekly Podcast

In this episode,  the government confirms a reprieve for urea fertiliser – easing fears of an outright ban and delaying restrictions by at least a year.

And long-awaited clarity on farming rules for water will make it simpler for farmers in England to apply manure and slurry this autumn.

The concessions are included in a raft of measures to help farmers in England cope with a sharp rise in fertiliser prices, which have reached record levels.

As Defra prepares to launch its retirement scheme for farmers, we ask: is it safe to be doing farm work full-time when you're nearly 90?

We find out why organic farmers and growers think the government should be doing more to recognise the value of organic agriculture.

And in an April Fools prank, we pay a visit to the regenerative farmers celebrating Min-Till Monday – is it really the sustainable answer to Plough Sunday?

This, the 100th episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with Farmers Weekly arable correspondent Louise Impey.
