Show Notes

In this episode, anger at the Red Tractor assurance scheme reaches a new high after it refuses to back down over plans to carbon footprint producers.

Also, Welsh farmers say they will lose out after their government slashes the budget for agriculture in Wales.

Should consumers pay more for food? Just one topic for discussion at our latest Farmers Weekly Question Time event

And we preview this month's Borderway Expo event – the flagship showcase for UK livestock held in Carlisle.

All this and our regular round-up of the latest market prices.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with additional reporting by Abi Kay.
