The Farmers Weekly Podcast
Farm safety week, dairy costings, rural crime, animal health and welfare, environmental stewardship, & straw prices
On the Farmers Weekly Podcast, it's Farm Safety Week – and we have a special interview with farm safety campaigner Jane Gurney.
Jane's teenage son Harry was killed in an accident involving an unroadworthy trailer – and she founded the Tilly Your Trailer safety campaign in his memory.
She talks about the campaign, how it is improving safety on farms – and the launch of the Head to tow app.
We look at what the government's Animal Health & Welfare Pathway means for livestock producers and how it could benefit the red meat sector – if done correctly.
Rural crime is always a hot topic – and we examine how police and farmers are joining forces to combat fly-tipping, hare-coursing and farm theft.
On the markets, we look at the latest dairy costings – and get to grips with straw prices as combines continue to roll into cereal crops.
And we talk to a farmer who has won a three-year battle to bring land back into production after a 10-year environmental stewardship scheme – the result could be in your favour too.
This episode co-hosted by Farmers Weekly chief reporter Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with Farmers Weekly executive editor Philip Clarke, deputy business editor Andrew Meredith and news reporter Ed Henderson.
