In this episode - as the supply chain crisis deepens, we examine the prospects for food inflation  and ask: how high will it go?

The government finally acts to ease pressure on the pig sector – by letting more meat processors into the UK – but is it too little too late?

We meet the man who wants to revolutionise the AHDB – the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board .

On the markets, we find out if high crop prices are here to stay.

We look at the pros and cons of autumn lambing – and ask: would it work on your farm and what breed works best?

And we meet the Sheffield dairy farmer from Our Cow Molly who has reinvented the milk churn – helping to reduce plastic waste.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with FW deputy livestock editor Judith Tooth.
