The Farmers Weekly Podcast

As drought is declared across eastern, central and southern England, we assess the impact on the livestock and arable sectors.
We look at the prospects for grazing, winter forage and animal health – and examine the best time to drill oilseed rape.
And we speak to the onion grower who is giving away his crop after hot, dry weather meant it failed to meet storage specifications.
On the markets, we've the latest ringside from Skipton Mart and we look at the market for low protein wheat and where to sell it.
How bad will the New Zealand trade deal be for UK farmers. We speak to the experts who have been working it out.
And we meet the farmers helping fire fighters put out field fires.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom with FW business editor Suzie Horne and FW arable correspondent Louise Impey.
