This week, as Farm Safety Week gets under way, we ask: just why are so many people being killed on UK farms?
 
MPs tell the government they should compensate farmers for damage caused by the reintroduction of beavers into the countryside.

and we look at current global trends in the grains market .
 
 And we talk to the scientists trying to find out whether daffodils in dairy diets can reduce methane emissions from cattle.
 
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom with Farmers Weekly deputy editor Abi Kay.
