Farmers Weekly Podcast Ep 222: Future of farm support after harvest
© Tim Scrivener In this episode, we look at the future for farm support following a UK cereal harvest said to be among the worst in living memory.
We travel to London for Back British Farming Day as growers and livestock producers meet MPs to get the farming message across.

We look at NFU calls for an increase in the UK budget for agriculture – and industry calls for recognition of the wider benefits farming brings.
We examine how high street banks are offering special deals for farmers prepared to adopt more sustainable management practices.
We discuss the merits of the HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway and the Soil Association Exchange initiative supported by Lloyds Bank.
And we discover how bees are helping Euston Estate Farms in Suffolk ensure that landscape management delivers the benefits it promises.
The harvest 2024 report referred to in this episode was published by the Economic and Climate Change Unit.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and specialist arable reporter Louise Impey.
