In this episode, we look at the LEAF Marque - the farm assurance scheme that delivers benefits for consumers and the environment – as well as for farmers.

We find out what makes it work, why it is becoming so popular – and why supermarkets are so keen to work alongside LEAF food producers.

We speak to Oxbury Bank – the latest lender offering a special deal to farmers who want to farm more sustainably.

We visit an upbeat DairyTech event at Stoneleigh – and talk to the winner of the NMR Gold Cup, presented by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers.

We've all the latest market prices – and we discover why it's so important to join this month's Big Farmland Bird Count.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
