Show Notes
In this episode, farm leader Tom Bradshaw calls for Covid-style business loans to help farmers ride out the impact of a challenging year.
We join thousands of growers at the 2024 Cereals event in Hertfordshire – the UK's biggest two-day show for arable farmers.
We get the low-down on the latest wheat and barley varieties – and ask: do they deliver what they promise when it comes to yield and resilience?
We examine the importance of data analysis and using benchmarking methods to optimise arable business performance.
We celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Recommended List for cereals – and discuss how the list is changing to meet the needs of growers and end users.
And we get cooking lessons from two farmers who have baked the world's biggest loaf of bread to highlight the importance of a fair supply chain.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker; and specialist arable agricultural journalist Louise Impey.
