In this episode, war and weather are the key driver of commodity prices – we look at how each are impacting on the prospects for harvest 2022.

We're at the Pig and Poultry Fair – where producers are determined to secure a better future for their sector – so long as they can ride out the big dipper.

On the markets, in theory we're talking about fertiliser.

We speak to Belgian farmers visiting the UK on a post-Brexit trade tour. Why do they want to send us their pork and potatoes?

And we get ready for #AgriLeadershipWeek – highlighting training opportunities that can make a real difference to your farm business.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom, with Farmers Weekly acting deputy livestock editor Charlotte Cunningham.
