In this episode, farm charities offer a listening ear as inheritance tax rules come into effect – leaving farming families facing a hefty bill following the death of a loved one.

We’ve the latest on help for those who might be affected by the changes, including farmers who haven't yet taken advice.

Electricity standing charges go up this month – we examine what it means for your farm business with some suggestions for what you can do.

What’s hot and what’s not: we look at the latest arable farm management software, including the options and prices thanks to Mike Abram.
