Show Notes
In this episode, farmers are helping firefighters battle a huge moorland blaze in Yorkshire.
Farmers are using slurry tankers to deliver water to fire crews fighting flames which have engulfed thousands of acres of the Yorkshire Moors.
Hot weather and lack of rain has seen hay and straw is imported into the UK from France to help drought-hit livestock farmers.
Pollution from pig and poultry production is being targeted by wildlife campaigners – but do their claims add up?
And we speak to the policeman who is reminding tractor drivers to stay safe on the road.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
