There’s no handbook for tackling some of farming’s biggest conversations. Whether it’s succession, family dynamics or making plans for the future, knowing where to start can be half the battle.

This week, Amy Hughes joins us to chat about how farming families can create the time and space for those important discussions. From communicating better to making big decisions together, Amy shares practical tips to help get everyone around the same table and moving in the same direction.

Plus, we revisit our brilliant conversation with Derek Banbury and Derek Gow as the documentary Derek vs Derek arrives on the big screen and sparks fresh debate around rewilding and life in the countryside.
