Show Notes
In this episode, we look at what farmers can expect from new Defra secretary Emma Reynolds - her policies and personality.
To discuss that and more, we’re joined by Jonathan Reynolds, director of external affairs at the Country Land and Business Association.
The National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs says it has been told it will no longer receive a Defra grant – Defra says the suggestion is "false".
Who is right?
Shadow farm minister Robbie Moore gives us his thoughts.
And sixth-formers at a Lincolnshire school can now study agriculture – we speak to their headteacher and find out all about the new course.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
