Show Notes

In this episode, a growing number of 'rebel' Labour MPs are supporting farmers against the government on inheritance tax.

We have an exclusive interview with Henry Tufnell, Labour MP for Mid- and South Pembrokeshire, who is calling for a government amnesty on the issue.

A warm start to spring sees UK temperatures warmer than Madrid and Barcelona – and it's only the beginning of March.

We find out how farmers are adapting to climate change - and get the low-down on the farmland market.

The AHDB has published a special Climate Change Adaptation report.

And a livestock mart in south-west England hits out at keyboard warriors after its Monday sale is cancelled.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom. Additional reporting by Phil Case.
