Friday 3rd September 2021

In this episode, cereal growers have voted to withhold funding from the Red Tractor farm assurance scheme. We examine why.

A shortage of UK farm workers and lorry drivers has left vegetable crops rotting in the fields. What should be done?

Rewilding – should really farms be taken out of production to benefit wildlife?

On the markets, as the UK cereal harvest slowly gradually comes to a close, we look at the latest prices for combinable crops.

And we meet the farmer who has paid a special tribute to his Olympic champion daughter.
