In this week's episode, we get to grips with the new landscape recovery scheme – what does it mean for farmers and is worth applying?

In a wide-ranging interview, Defra secretary George Eustice defends the government's approach to  post-Brexit farm policy – saying he wants evolution not revolution.

Mr Eustice also discusses policies affecting tenant farmers, and the launch of a new UK partnership  to tackle agricultural challenges .

With climate change increasingly high on the agenda, we look at the challenges facing Northern Ireland's farmers as they strive to reach Net Zero.

On the markets, we analyse the latest cattle price trends.

During British Calf Week, we examine how the dairy industry is preparing to end bull calf euthanasia. Does it really make sense?

And we go tractor racing on TV with farmer and YouTuber Tom Pemberton.

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