Farmers Weekly Podcast 227: Budget preview – what’s in store for farmers?

In this episode, as the government’s Budget looms we ask three experts what farmers should expect in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement.

We find out why the Sustainable Farming Incentive is fuelling interest in hedgerow management in England – and how farmers can obtain payments.

We visit the Lake District, where upland farmers fear they are being left behind by the government’s flagship environmental schemes.

And we go under the North Sea where a carbon-friendly fertiliser is being mined to replenish sulphur levels on UK farms.
