Show Notes

In this episode, Liz  Truss outlines her priorities for farmers as she seeks to become Conservative Party leader and the UK's next Prime Minister.

A farm worker has an extremely lucky escape when his articulated trailer overturns – and so does the tractor pulling it.

On the markets, we find out why there's a big surge in on-farm machinery sales.

It's Love Lamb Week – we speak to the industry leaders about the challenges facing the sheep and beef sectors.

And we join the crowds following the plumes of black smoke as they go tractor pulling in Lancashire.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom.
