Shownotes

In this episode, we discuss the possible outcomes after government finally agrees to talks with farm leaders on inheritance tax.

Have things gone too far? Were farming protestors right to force Keir Starmer to cut short a prime ministerial visit to Milton Keynes?

And should farming be higher or lower on the government's pecking order?

We speak to Aberdeenshire farmer Andrew Connan – NFU Scotland's newly president – and ask him about his priorities.

And Louise meets the aerospace engineer who finds out that farming is harder than rocket science.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
