Hugh binge-watches Clarkson’s Farm 2 – is it as good as the first? Or is Jeremy past his sell-by-date? And what’s all this about farm safety?
We find out why Scotland’s farmers are so disgruntled with Scottish government policy for agriculture north of the border.
On the markets, we talk winter fodder sales – and we find out the £50 winner of this week’s Commodity Cashback competition.
