In this episode, we investigate the impact on fertiliser prices as a major manufacturer confirms plans to close one of its UK sites.
Government minister Jo Churchill promises lots of new money for agri-innovation – but will it make a difference to farmers?
With talk of £40/tonne, could we be about to see a big price increase for sugar beet growers? And with ag-inflation soaring, will it be linked to rising input costs?
On the markets, land sales get busier and prices increase.
And we find out what it's like being the host farmer for the Cereals event.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom – including on location at Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
