Show Notes
Harvest has been hugely variable this summer – with many growers in prime arable areas reporting terrible cereal yields.
But has one crop bucked the trend?
After years of decline and disappointment, oilseed rape is having a bit of a moment.
Could it, perhaps, be crop of the year?
Is £30/t an acceptable price for sugar beet? We find out.
We’ve more on electronic tagging for cattle.
Just what’s driving up food price inflation?
And we pay tribute to farmer and veteran broadcaster David Richardson.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Hugh Broom.
