In this episode, we get to grips government grants to fund on-farm innovation and technology to improve productivity.

With British Beef Week around the corner (23-30 April), we run the rule over the NFU's 10-year vision for the UK's beef industry.

We look at why farm hedges could be the latest victim of the government's decision to close the Sustainable Farming Incentive to new applications.

And we find out why singing sweary farmers are all the rage in Oxfordshire.

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