The Farmers Weekly Podcast
Dying To Feed You farm safety campaign, AgInflation: fuel and fertiliser prices soar, budget verdict, agricultural investment allowances, Red Tractor future, & Hallowe'en pumpkin cannon
In this episode, farmers are risking their lives on a daily basis – with tiredness and fatigue contributing to the UK's worst fatal accident rate.
The stark statistic is revealed in a Farmers Weekly survey at the start of a new farm safety campaign called Dying To Feed You.
Dairy farmer's son William Sayers tells how his arm was torn off by a rotating power take-off shaft on the back of a tractor when he was just 12-years-old.
As ag-inflation goes through the roof – we look at how farmers are dealing with soaring input costs and fertiliser prices.
We look at the Red Tractor farm assurance scheme – is it really delivering for growers and livestock producers.
On the markets – we give the verdict on the government's autumn budget. How will it affect your farm business? And what about agricultural investment allowances?
And we celebrate Hallowe'en – with the farmers who fire pumpkins out of a cannon.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom with FW business editor Suzie Horne and FW arable reporter Emma Gillbard.
