Will it really be another wet autumn? Defra farm policy 'on hold' ahead of Autumn Budget, Soil Association Exchange – profitable sustainable farming, & Carbon Farmer of the Year

  • Summary

  • In this episode, after a week of torrential rain and floods washes away newly drilled cereal crops, we ask: will it really be another wet autumn?

    We find out why Defra policy is on hold ahead of the Autumn Budget – in a special interview with NFU president Tom Bradshaw.

    We discover how farmers are measuring their environmental and social impact –and making their businesses more profitable as a result.

    You can find out more about environmental and social baselining by visiting Soil Association Exchange and the Lloyds Banking Group.

    And we speak to Andrew Brewer – the newly crowned Carbon Farmer of the Year, courtesy of the Farm Carbon Toolkit.

    This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and specialist arable reporter Louise Impey.
